Distracted driving is a big issue while driving a motor vehicle especially for teens because a lot of teens think that they are invincible and nothing will happen to them and if an accident were to happen that they will be fine so while driving they tend to get distracted easier if not by texting by other things . There are a lot of things out there that can distract a teen while driving such as the radio, their phones, and other people in the car or even eating while driving because this causes an opportunity to not have both hands on the wheel so you are best prepared for a situation.

While reviewing the literature regarding school zones and speeding issues that occur within school zones, there were several recurrent themes: speed, signage, and signals. Although there has been a gradual increase in research completed on school zone efficiency itself, there has been little to no empirical research completed concerning police personnel within the school zone due to the lack of data gathered from police agencies. It is without question, that when driving through a school zone, drivers need to abide by the mandatory speed limit set by the state, especially since the chance of an accident is at an all-time high due to the level of activity occurring within the zone. Research conducted in, Suggestions concerning school traffic devices, found that drivers tend to comply more with regulatory speeds compared to…
Imagine not having a job and not being able to help support one’s family. Think about not having the opportunity to go to the final football game because there is no transportation. The Mississippi legislature is considering a bill that will raise the age requirement for obtaining a drivers license to seventeen, and I strongly disagree with this proposed bill. I believe that by raising the age requirement, the government is restricting teenagers and students in several different ways.…
As we enter adulthood, one thing that all of us inevitable learn to do is drive a vehicle. Whether our parents teach us or we take driver’s ed, driving in itself is an essential ability that we all must know to get by in life. That is why, in this entry, I am going to talk about the time I took Driver’s Ed. Last summer, my brother and I signed up for the Driver’s Ed program in New Hampton. This lasted most of our summer, and having to wake up early on summer mornings living on Pop-Tart breakfasts easily became a chore.…
Unit 6 Assignment Annotated Bibliography Jill Benoit Kaplan University Annotated Bibliography Life happens in a blink of an eye, and mine and my daughter’s did just that the last day of 2015. It only takes that one second to change everything you know and love. Making others aware of these numbers, and hearing real stories from teens to teens could promote greater awareness of the dangers of distracted driving. Studies have shown that we are losing our youth today from accidents that could have been avoided.…
Schools are very important for students. In school, we can learn a lot of things, but students need the right teachers and the material to be successful in life and for a better education. Jean Anyon in “Social Class and The Hidden Curriculum of Work” shows that in some schools they don’t have the right teachers or material because of the economy or the neighborhood the schools are located. Also low-income people do not get the same education as people with a good economy.…
The article that I have chosen for this essay is “Impaired-Driving Prevalence Among US High School Students: Associations with Substance Use and Risky Driving Behaviors”, by Kaigang Li, Bruce G. Simons-Morton, and Ralph Hingson. The social problem that researchers are investigating in this article is the association between risky driving and driving while intoxicated or impaired (DWI) or riding with an alcohol or drug impaired driver (RWI). During the teenage period, most teens are learning to drive and at the same time, they are beginning to use drugs and alcohol even more. This leads to teenagers drinking and using illegal drugs while driving or riding. Researchers used probability sampling and survey questionnaires to investigate the association between risky driving and driving while intoxicated or impaired or riding with an alcohol or drug impaired driver among US high school students.…

With students getting their driver's licenses left and right, they are joining the congestion.…

Students should be allowed to drive, even when they live in an area with bus service. If students were forced to ride the bus, not only would it be inconvenient but also unfair. Bus stops within a bus service can either be close to a student’s house or far away. If they are close then it wouldn’t be much trouble to wait for the bus.…
Should students be allowed to drive to school? Yes, of course they should, and for a multitude of reasons. Different students lead different lives with different activities.

STOP! You see that driver student sticker on the car in front of you, and for some reason freak out, but you have nothing to worry about. Since the restrictions for young teens have been in play the amount of accidents teen between about 16 and 17 years old have been decreasing.
