The current P-plate laws are extremely affective in reducing accidents on the road.This is because they deal with many of the dangers p-plate drivers face while driving, including distractions, driving speed, peer pressure and driver safety. To begin with, the current p-plate laws are affective in reducing accidents while driving because they deal with the important issue of distractions. An example of a distraction that is dealt with by the current p-plate laws is mobile phones. Mobile phones cannot be used by p-plate drivers when driving or while the car is moving or stopped but not parked. This helps to stop accidents because it removes distractions from a p-plate driver so they can focus solely on driving.
The carpool lane is mostly always free of traffic during rush hours which is good for carpoolers, but also counter intuitive. The carpool lane turns into a wasted lane if people are not taking advantage of carpooling. Sensors can be placed in cars to automatically charge the fare for using carpool lanes during rush hours (Bullock, 2011). Commuters will pay for the device and conveniently register on an online website that monitors the use of the charges. In addition to tolls utilized for carpool lanes, they can also be used for high traffic during peak times.
Knowing the internal and external factors as a manager can make the difference between success and failure of a business. Managers should be flexible when making decisions within an organization. The organization I have selected is my friend’s business, a local automotive shop. His shop is growing and business is very busy. Constant improvements are being made in all areas of his business in order to help it succeed.
When looking at the life on City Road (‘The Street’, 2009) and observing what happens throughout the course of a day, it is clear that the road is used by a variety of people for many different reasons. City Road has local shops up and down both sides, covering a large range of ethnic cultures. There are food shops, clothe shops, tailoring shops, a sport centre, which on the weekend turns into a market and local newsagents. Recently on City Road, a Tesco convenience store has been opened which to some has proven to be very popular and convenient but for others, it has made life quite difficult. Some of the local shops have been passed down through generations and a shop with such a large market chain attached to it has put many local businesses out of pocket.
Staff should go to the nearest traffic light stops or pelican crossings to avoid stopping traffic themselves, if they walked on the road randomly. I have made these suggestions because if the staffs choose to cross freely without ensuring the road is safe and all children are not holding their hands, It could potentially cause accident, This could cause a potential child being hit by a car because they are not all holding their hands together and they could run into the road without correct supervision. Also the adults should double check if the roads are clear to cross. This is very important in helping them cross the road safely, staff should safely follow these steps this possibly will minimize hazards. I have made these precautions because if not followed it could cause a child being hit by a car.
It is a busy main road with many cars passing by, this means that the car park can get crowded. It is important that the vehicle when being dropped off at the park is parked near a path way so that the service users do not have to be near the main road. They must be near a path way so that an incident does not occur The staff should be present with the service users near the main road so they can see the cars around them and stop accidents from happening.

Make sure to keep a three seconds following distance between you and the car in front of you. Keeping this distance makes it safer if some unexpected event happens that may cause the car in front of you to stop suddenly. Also, make sure to use your turn signals, turning without using these signals may lead into some serious accidents. Finally, check your blind spots, changing lanes without checking your blind spots is a hazardous habit. To drive safely, make sure to stay out of other cars blind spots too.
Drawing on what you have learnt from the “Making Social Lives” DVD and “Learning Companion 1”, describe some inequalities on City Road. City Road is a 1 mile stretch of road which is one of the busiest roads in Cardiff. It is used by a wide range of people at all hours of the day and night, home to a wide range of people and full of shops, restaurants, takeaways and bars. People use the road for many different purposes, including working on city road, using it to get elsewhere as well as visiting the range of different shops. In this TMA I will be explaining what inequalities I have established are present on City Road using the DVD and Learning Aids provided.
Queens Street (known to locals as Central High Street) is vast street of seemingly every day shops and takeaways. These shops and takeaways run on either side of a pedestrianized street leading along into a small market square. A bustling street much like any other. However, when comparing it to other roads, such as City Road in Cardiff there are both similarities and differences. These are both plus’ and minus’ for the people whose lives are linked to the street and its surroundings and these are very noticeable when looking at the identity of the street, how society itself takes control in the running off it and the constant reshaping of the street and its community.
For example, what if people chose not to stop for a red light; wouldn’t there be many car accidents and things more tragic? This is why the rights are not absolute because they are made to a point where it’s to protect the people. The constitution does give individual rights but also gives the government the rights to change it based on behavior and other factors. Mayor Buddy Dyer this is why you should agree with me. Where it says the government made certain dangerous areas off-limits, which prevented residents from accessing their homes and personal property.
