Older adults have long life experiences and deserve respect from younger generations (Nordenfelt 2003b). In addition, they often have a multitude…

of how speeding has effected my life and in what ways do I feel I can or cannot control it. I will go into detail on what kinds of stimuli offer better environments for speeding and also understand my psychological state of mind at the time.

These three factors can also be easily related to as consequences if speeding has a negative effect, such…

This type of psychology makes an important observation…
