I lost a good friend of mine I known since I was middle school to texting and driving. Although he wasn’t the one doing it he was hit by a car on his motorcycle that was on their phone. He was in critical care and put on life support and they had to take him off because his family couldn’t afford it. So believe me I am not saying this for my health. I am saying it to raise awareness and credibility that this issue is very dangerous and can affect multiple people.
This includes when driving as well. To help with this problem, many companies are starting to add Bluetooth technology in their cars to create a hands free experience but, there are been almost no improvement. Studies show that the human brain struggles with having to look and listen at the same time. This thus, makes it hard for the driver and they become distracted while on the road. New drivers already have a hard time on the road because they have just gotten their license and do not know how to drive as well.
This would be considered now as Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, and at the time nobody knew how to truly help him with his problem especially on the reservation. Lyman gives Henry the convertible to hopefully cheer Henry up somehow. And from there Henry makes repairs and improves a tad bit. Henry finally finishes and asks Lyman if he’d like to take a ride with him in the car. Before their departure their little sister took pictures of them, and when translated into the
There are many people who think the driving age should be raised to 21, they say that people who start driving at 21 are less likely to be involved in crashes. That may be true. But if you stop teens from getting their driver licence until they turn 21 it would cause huge problems with our everyday lives. Their will be teenagers who cant go anywhere. Teens who have jobs wont be able to drive to work, they will have to rely public transportation and their family and friends.
Sitting in traffic is one of the worst time consumers of the day. We all dislike wasting our time sitting in traffic when we are late for a meeting or late for a sporting event. My parents have worked with the Department of Transportation in Pinellas County for years and this has been the steaming question for their whole time there “How can we make travel on our roads better and smoother?” Many of their associates have thought that maybe if they just expand the more traveled roads that the ride would become less congested. This may have worked in the short term, but what they did not expect was the 42% increase in population over the last 30 years (US Census). Over the last decade or so, the department of transportation in the Tampa Bay area has proposed and idea for a monorail type system for the main areas of business in St. Petersburg, Clearwater, and Tampa.
At first glance, it seems like a good idea to have the driving age raised to eighteen, but it is not as beneficial as it seems. Nationally, about forty percent of American teen deaths are from motor vehicle crashes, making them a major concern for parents and teens alike, but raising the driving age won’t fix this, and it could actually make this statistic worse. There are good reasons as to why the driving age should not be raised: it is inexperience not young age that causes crashes, parents of minors are allowed to deny their children licenses or permits, and raising the driving age would make it harder to get drivers proper training. It is true that the risk of crashing is higher for the sixteen to eighteen age group than any other. This is the main reason that a lot of people want to have the driving age raised.
Red Light cameras causes more accidents Since the red light camera law went into effect in 2010, rear-end accidents have doubled in parts of Florida (Elmore 2010). It was mainly to prevent automobiles accidents when drivers ran red lights, and was implemented at the behest of widow Mellissa Wandall who lost a family member when a stranger ran a red light. Former State Rep. Ron Reagan was the lead sponsor of the bill. The law gave Florida the power to install cameras in places where the most accident happen due to red light violations, but the Red-Light Camera Law should be put on hold until more research and studies are done because of economic and safety issues related to its use. Professor “Barbara Langland-Orban” professor and chair of Health Policy and Management at the University of South Florida, said that the red light camera does not work.
You could have easily injured or killed someone else or yourself. On top of it all, you are to blame for causing the accident. The whole situation could have been avoided if you had waited until you reached your destination before looking at your phone. Distracted driving has become a serious problem within the past decade due to the prevalence of distractions such as portable music players, talking on cell phones, and text messaging. A split second glance away from the road is all it takes for disaster to strike while driving.
my first article is about the new cameras in the school areas. I think that the cameras detecting your speed was a good step towards solving the problem of speeding but as i have noticed, many people slow down just for that area. Although it'll help the children, right after exiting the school zone, the people go back to speeding 10,20 miles over the original limit. This was a good solution for school areas but it has not solved the issue of speeding overall. The next article i have is about a drunk driver.
The majority of accidents are caused by driver error and what if that could be diminished if the cars that we drive, drive themselves? With the modern technologies emerging, car industries begin to develop driverless cars. Comparing to a standard vehicle, driverless cars now have the technology to help drivers stay in their lane, avoid collisions. They have become highly advanced over the years. The point of a driverless car is safety, but there are plenty of people who guess that self-driving cars are dangerous.
