Slow Down Anti-Speeding “Other people make mistakes. Slow down.” Many people who speed claim to be ‘good drivers’ rationalising that their experience behind the wheel will keep them safe. However they ignore of crucial thing: other people make mistakes. The campaign ‘Slow Down’ highlights the errors and delusions some people may have as to faults on the road. In 2015, 146 people died in crashes involving speeding, either travelling above the speed limit or too fast for the conditions. Many…

In summary, distracted driving has become a growing issue throughout the society and it needs to be taken seriously. Many innocent lives are being lost due to needless tasks being done while driving. The usage of cell phones while driving still may not seem like a major concern to most people because this is so common nowadays that people do not believe that anything like this can possibly happen to them, but again, one never knows what might take place later on in life because no one can…

Teenagers have been given, at age sixteen, ownership and control of what could be an unintentionally, deadly weapon, their cars. Every year thousands of teenage drivers kill and are killed in fatal accidents due to many different aspects. Teenagers are at a crossroad in their life where distractions easily capture their attention, immaturity leads them to make poorer decisions, and teens also have a tendency to speed. The driving age needs to be raised in order to protect teenage lives.…

Most teens are always looking for some form of freedom in their lives. In my opinion, teen driving is another way for teens to get a little more freedom and also show some responsibility, gain more trust from their parents and learn to become independent young adults. The advantage of teen driving would be that teens are able to drive themselves to and from school, work, practice or any other social events they may have. It also takes the stress off their parents by taking younger siblings to…

The thought of driverless cars running freely on the roads is both exciting and terrifying. Like it or not, most of us surely heard that driverless cars are a new technology which becomes a reality. In Eric Biba’s Newsweek article, “What The World Look Like Without Drivers”, he predicts how our lives will change as people start to give up their personal vehicle for the benefit of driverless ones. I agree with the author that driverless cars will be convenient and will benefit to our lives in the…

Everyone should wear a seatbelt at all times while they are in a moving car. In the United States 75% of deaths and 90% of injuries are caused by people not wearing a seatbelt while they are involved in a accident. 30-40 people die each year in a crash because of not wearing their seatbelt and 250 are hospitalized. I have three reasons why you should have to wear a seatbelt while you are in a moving car. First of all you should wear your seatbelt because they can save your life if you are in a…

Over the past few years there has been heartbreaking, and preventable deaths where children or babies have been left in hot cars unattended too. Some kids have died in this situation, and some have been left in critical condition. My argument is, do you think the parents should be charged if being in a hot car harmed their children? What if the parents claimed that it was accidental, should they walk free? In my opinion, I feel that the parents should be charged, even if they said it was an…

Since the meaning of word is arbitrary, for people that do not text on a daily basis even a simple text might seem like a cryptic message and the meaning of many if not all might seem ambiguous. On the other hand, for young people texting is a perfectly normal way of communication. Therefore, one can only claim for certain that this debate is a matter of personal…

Brianna Rysavy 5/23/2016 Aggressive Driving/Road Rage Paper Aggressive driving has been a problem on our roadways for a while, and it seems to only be getting worse. Incidents of screaming, rude gestures, and sometimes even violence are reported frequently on the road and have come up with the name: road rage. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration defines road rage as when a driver "commits moving traffic offenses so as to endanger other persons or property; an assault with a motor…

Triumphing over obstacles will elevate your mind by giving it new experiences to process and learn from. Have you ever heard of muscle memory? Well, muscle memory is when your muscles do something over and over then your muscles learn to do that thing instinctively. For example your locker combo. You can do that without even thinking. If you face obstacles you learn to overcome them and move faster than ever by jumping over them and getting on with life. For instance, the first time you go…
