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.
Idle No More protesters stall railway lines, highways 5-hour blockade of railways between Toronto, Ottawa and Montreal First Nations demonstrators stopped passenger railway traffic lines between Toronto, Ottawa and Montreal today, while others stalled major highways and rail lines in parts of Manitoba, Alberta, New Brunswick and Ontario as part of the Idle No More Movement's national day of action. Protesters also gathered in Windsor, Ont., near the Ambassador Bridge to Michigan, slowing down traffic to North America's busiest border crossing for several hours, the CBC's Allison Johnson reported. Activities including rallies, blockades and prayer circles were staged across the country Wednesday as part of the grassroots movement calling
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's Fatality Analysis Reporting System, within the past 10 years, almost 150 people have died from motorcycle accidents in the state of Idaho. Of these fatalities, over 60% were not wearing a helmet. A recent study (Orsay et al., 1994) published in the Center for Disease Control's Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, estimates the use of a properly fitted and secured helmet can reduce the risk of death by over 25%, and reduce serious head trauma in a motorcycle accident by almost 35%. Yet many people still refuse to wear a helmet. The financial burden to society from these accidents is staggering.
Lawsuits citing First Amendment rights of panhandlers have caused many communities to abandon their pursuit. A recent legal battle with the American Civil Liberties Union cost the city of Boise, Idaho forty-five thousand dollars in reimbursement of plaintiff legal fees (Berg, 2014). Arlington Municipal Code should direct its restrictions to other venues. Rather than attempting to prevent panhandlers from begging on highway exit ramps, an ordinance should be drafted focusing on less-controversial elements of panhandling. For example, an ordinance requiring motorist to pull out of the lane of traffic and legally park their vehicle prior to engaging activity with a pedestrian would have a direct impact on panhandling without inciting constitutional issues.
Highway congestion in that metropolitan area is a nightmare. California's answer, however, is to build more highways. The CAPS report estimates that more than three million new vehicles were added to roadways in the passed decade. Statewide, there is an increasing water crisis. It is locked into disputes with other States and even Canada to secure sufficient water for its exploding
Three months later McCandless decided he should go home. When he got to the point he needed to cross the river, the current was too strong, so he was trapped. He ended up living in the bus for a total of 113 days and then dying. Both the movie and book of Into the Wild explore the adventure that Chris McCandless takes, while the book focuses on comparing Chris to other people and the relationships he had, the movie focuses specifically on the life story and adventure of Chris McCandless, therefore the movie is better than the book. The number one thing I noticed in the movie that was different in the book is that Carine (his sister) tells the entire story.
in October of 2001, an automobile accident left me paralyzed from the arm pits down. I've had two years since that day to reflect on the damage I could have caused to my loved ones and myself if left unchecked. It did not take me long to find the Lord's hand involved in every aspect of my accident and injury, and PRAISE GOD that He did so, for I would not trade my chair for my pre-injury days if I had to give up my Lord to do so. I have everything to be thankful for this season, my home, my family, my job and the very air that we breathe, but most of all, I thank God that He reproves those He loves (Prov
Refusal May Mean Mandatory Blood Draw One of America’s most committed and deadliest crimes is impaired driving. All states and districts have established the blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of .08 as the limit. In 2010 10,228 people died in traffic crashes in which at least one driver was at or over the legal limit (Traffic Safety Marketing, 2010, p. 1). In efforts to save more lives on our public highways the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has been working alongside state and local governments, as well as, numerous nonprofit research organizations by providing grant money to study the effects of impaired driving and help to establish harsher laws. A study currently be conducted, and is implemented
According to collegian.psu.edu California is in serious economic trouble. Recently, California's 1,000 K-12 school districts have been told to take more than $8 billion in budget cuts over the next year, causing the recent issue of layoff notices for over 26,000 teachers and 15,000 bus drivers, janitors, secretaries and administrators. (Transition) Next I’ll speak about how legalizing Marijuana will reduce the crime rate across the country. IV. Main Point 3: Legalizing Marijuana will also reduce the illegal marketing of it on the streets.
The Move-In Assistance program proved to leave many homeless. As stated in a Wall Street Journal article, “The Red Cross has come under criticism in recent months for its handling of a program to help Sandy victims make a transition from temporary to permanent, sustainable housing” (Elliott and Eisinger). A vast majority would agree that the transition from a temporary to permanent housing would be beneficial for these victims. Ben Smilowitz had said “The Red Cross changed eligibility rules for the move-in program midcourse, leaving as many as 1000 New Yorkers in the lurch” (West). As many as 1,000 lives could have been saved.
