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 possible causes of a TBI are: * Road Traffic Collisions - Falls & Slips * Domestic Accidents - Assault & Violence * Work Accidents - Sports Accidents Internally is commonly known as an acquired brain injury which has resulted from a medical issue arising thus causing an acquired brain injury (ABI) And these are normally issues that are direct to the brain and are the initial injury to the brain. The possible causes of an ABI are: * Stroke - Brain Tumour * Encephalitis - Hydrocephalus * Haemorrhage - Aneurysm * Hypoxic & Anoxic - Abscess Here are some examples of how some of these ABI’s can occur: * If an
Traumatic Brain injury is caused by physical traumas, for example an accident, neurosurgery, head injury or even an assault. Brain injury can also be caused by non-traumatic circumstances such as a stroke, brain tumours, infections, hypoxia, ischemia or substance abuse. Brain damage caused by neurodegenerative disorders are not classed as an ABI. Injury is referred to as either open or closed. A closed injury is when the brain has been damaged from the brain being bounced around the head or severe shaking, for example when in a road traffic accident.
Victims and Crime Evaluation University of Phoenix Criminal Law CJA 354 Victims and Crime Evaluation Before understanding the concept of a victim, who is a victim? A victim can fall into one of two categories; one a person who has suffered harm because of a criminal act and subjected to harm in suffering physical injury, emotional trauma, financial loss and or disruptlives Secondly, a victim could be family members of a person killed or injured because of a crime may also be victims. It is common for people who witnessed a crime to suffer emotional trauma. According to Vocal (ACT) “These people are victims even though they may not have been physically harmed. This could in some instances include family members or close friends of the person who committed the crime.” (2006, p.1) The impact of such crimes is long lasting in particularly for violent crimes.

Effective Risk Management Law/531 December 5, 2011 Effective Risk Management A tort is defined as a civil wrong between people and/or entities (Cheeseman 2010). There are two types of torts. The two are intentional and unintentional torts. An intentional tort is when there is intent to cause harm on another. An unintentional tort is when a person is liable for harm that is the foreseeable consequence of his or her actions due to negligence (Cheeseman 2010).
Many of these accidents are often fatal or result in severe injury to the driver and those involved in the impact. Some may argue that while Public Service Announcements may influence viewers, they do not significantly reduce the amount of distracted driving incidents
It could be you or your loved one in that small fraction. Also just because someone’s life wasn’t taken from texting and driving doesn’t mean it hasn’t affected their life in some way or another. For example, most of these collisions that don’t end in death either in my brain injury, paralyzation and so on. Texting is one of the most dangerous things you can do on the road. I can almost guarantee you that without awareness of this issue these numbers will continue to rise.
They then decided that something needed to be done in order to halt this problem. They developed a program to help its operators stray focused on their driving, and to help control any distractions that might come up, even if they
Technology is available that permits vehicles to “talk” to each other. This is because of technology much like Bluetooth. Autos would be able to communicate without the assistance of their drivers, and allow cars to take corrective actions to avoid collisions. This should not take the place of cellphone driving bans, but be used as an added safety precaution for defensive driving purposes (Healey, 2013). Collectively we can effectively tackle distracted driving through complex tactics such as talking cars and enforcement of laws developed.
