It was not only Baxter responsibility; the boys could have acted effectively. When Baxter was driving the vehicle his friends didn’t help the situation by rocking the car back and forth and hanging out the window It also doesn’t help that there were seven passengers in a five-passenger car as it made the seating arrangements hard for all the boys to be seated safely. If the boys would have protected themselves by wearing seat belts like one of the passengers did, then they wouldn’t have been ejected from the vehicle. Or also they could have made arrangements to have someone who wasn’t drunk to drive the vehicle. If they couldn’t have found someone to drive the car then they could have asked the Robert Schweiss to drive since his blood alcohol level was 0.11 percent that makes him just barley over the legal

Getting caught driving without a license is embarrassing and disappointing; however, if the driver shows good attitude and be honest, things tend not to go so bad. Before I got caught driving without a license, I would drive with free will; not knowing I could go to jail or have my car towed. Sometimes people depend on driving without a license to
Diversity in America The United States of America has a very broad diversity of life styles. Is it because of not caring that we choose not to expand our horizons in this diversity? I personally have several reasons why I have not fully expanded my horizons and have chosen to live in a community where people are more like myself. Having the freedom to choose who you associate with or live next too, should not classify a person of caring or not caring. I believe one of the reasons we choose to live with people who are more like ourselves comes from nurture.
The very same type of ending was seen when Holden recalled the movie he watched about the Englishman who had lost his memory and his response to it. He describes the movie as, “don’t see it if you don’t want to puke all over yourself” (138). His response to the movie most likely would have been because of how Holden had believed that Allie was somehow going to get through a terrible situation, which was clearly explained in the movie that Holden watched, but since Allie did
Some people refuse to put seat belts on because they are too uncomfortable. During an interview Bohlin one said, “The pilots I worked with in the aerospace industry were willing to put on almost anything to keep them safe in case of a crash, but regular people in cars don't want to be uncomfortable even for a minute" (Ecenbarger). Certain individuals say that it’s their life and they can risk it by not putting a seat belt on if they don't’ want to. Even though some people think that having a seat
Because when we use a cell phone our eyes not fully looking forward but once in a while see our cell phone. That’s the example if we use it for texting. Another case is talking with cell phone in our vehicle. It has been proved that many accidents are caused due to some inattention that is caused by the use of the cell phones. For instance, talking on the cell phone leads to the impairment of driving performance and phone dialing takes the eyes of the drivers from the road and causes results to accidents.

Therefore, many countries today have prohibited certain use of hand-held devices while driving because of the personal safety and the safety of others, dangers associated, and causes distractions which could lead to death. Just like you put yourself and the safety of others while driving drunk, the impairment is very similar to when using a cell phone when driving. This does not mean people should start drunk driving but indeed means that driving while using the cell phone is just as bad or even worse than drunk driving which is unacceptable. Both hand-held and hands-free cell phones impair driving, with no significant difference in the degree of impairment. Banning hand-held devices will not necessarily improve our safety and of others if drivers simply switch to hands free phones.
Although the FCC was cautioned to “exercise [its] authority with the utmost restraint, lest we inhibit constitutional rights” (Winter, 2007); that is not always upheld. Tension and controversy between the media and the public have been present long before television ever existed, but the increase in modern technology has also increased controversy regarding censorship. Finding a way to make broadcasting regulations compatible with peoples fundamental right to freedom of speech and freedom of expression has become increasingly difficult. Regulations imposed on television by the government are not supposed to be contrary to the principles laid down in the First Amendment, but that does not always hold true. The First Amendment from the United States Constitution, Bill of Rights is as follows: “Congress shall
