That window you had to stop now is very small and the chances of stopping safely are low. You may crash into the car or try to stop and lose control of the vehicle. Braking is different also if you are going different speeds. It is much harder to stop abruptly going 50 than 90. When you are speeding not only do you kill the chances of you being alright in an accident but you kill the chances of other innocent people being ok if anything happens.
When a driver shifts a gear down to reduce their speed, they are actually saving on brake repairs and are very fuel efficient. Texaco Fuel Industries reported that Stick shifts cars save 20% more gas than automatic transmission cars. Stick shift cars will respond better to the driver which makes them safer. Safety is an important issue when we talk about cars. People who drive cars with automatic transmissions often do not pay as much attention as they should.
I think that designing safe cars is more important than reducing driver distractions because first it always depends on the driver’s attention span, second you can never reduce any distractions and second the safer the car is the safer the accident is. I think that designing a safe car is more important than reducing driver distractions because it all depends on the driver’s attention span. If the driver can get easily distracted than there will be always a ninety percent chance that he/ she will get in to a fatal or non- fatal car accident. For example if the driver is distracted by something that has occurred outside the vehicle than the driver is more prone to getting in an accident because there weren’t as much safety features in the vehicle you may ask why weren’t there any safety features? Well because designers of the cars believed that if there were less driver distractions than they can include less safety features.
Drivers that text while driving are 4 times more likely to get into crashes serious enough to hurt themselves or someone else. 1. According to a study teenagers are more suseptible to car crashes and fatal road crashes. 2.One of the surprising statistics about texting while driving is that it is more dangerouse than driving under the influence of alcohol or marijuana. C. Considering the distraction of the driver in texting while driving, this activity keeps the driver involved in texting for around five seconds, which on a highway means a hundred yards.
When a teen gets to that age all they think about is driving, but when they turn that age parents just begin to worry. “Adrian Lund, president of the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, a research group funded by the auto insurance industry, acknowledged the idea is "a tough sell," but noted that car crashes are the leading cause of death among teenagers” (Irvine). That is a big statistic to ignore. Pennsylvania had 242 deaths which involved a teenage driver in 2008, third among all 50 states behind that of Texas, 650 deaths, and Florida with 516 deaths (California DMV). Teenagers are reckless and we must do everything reasonable to prevent deaths.
Drinking or using drugs impairs your senses and results in decreased muscle coordination and slower reaction times. Driving under the influence shouldn’t even be considered because you’re not only putting your life at risk but you are risking the lives of others. Today, one in three people will be involved in an alcohol-related crash in their lifetime. Another factor to consider when refraining from driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs is the consequences made by the law. One thing is for sure that getting convicted of driving under the influence will definitely cost a pretty penny even for your first offense.
This happens because the vehicle’s speed has stop from hitting the other object but the person’s body is still going at the speed the vehicle just was until something stops the person. Don’t let the ground be what stops a person in a car accident, let the seat belt do its job and stop people from flying into the dashboard. “Bad enough at 15 miles an hour, but a 30 miles you hit "the wall" four times as hard as you would at 15. Or to put it another way, with the same impact you'd feel as if you fell three stories,” (Parlay International). This is explaining that if a person got into a car accident going 30mph, that person would hit the dashboard, windshield, or steering wheel at the force a person would hit the ground if they fell from a three story building.
Typically, I would rather be around the same group of people with the same interests rather than a wild crowd and I am not adept to trying new things such as white water rafting or jumping out of an airplane. Advantages to being a non-sensation seeker are that I can get things done without distractions or being to high-strung. For instance if I had an office job that required mostly sitting down at a computer all day I would not be trying to jump out of my seat all day or having the boredom effect. Disadvantages of being a non-sensation seeker would prevent me from trying new and exciting things that could very well enhance my personality and increase my happiness level. 2.
Insurance will be expensive for a newer car because young drivers are less experienced. But for a used vehicle it could be less. Younger drivers do not acknowledge dangerous situations on the road, and therefore do not react appropriately. Although newer cars are more expensive they are equipped with more safety features like, (ESC) Electronic stability control and front- collision warning. Front collision may not be the most deadly for teens but they are type of
Finally, even though many of the campaigns feature the same overall message, the public does not view these as redundant or pointless. As long as the large companies and media continue to spread the message about distracted driving and provide warnings to drivers about the severe consequences associated with their choices, we will hopefully reduce the accidents and fatalities that occur in result of distracted driving. I know that I have been one of those drivers before and I am sincerely grateful I have not been injured or killed as a result of my choices. From now on I am not going to risk my life over one text message, one change of a song, or one moment of my eyes off the road. It’s just not worth
