Driving

Driving while using a handheld cellphone is extremely dangerous and should not be allowed anywhere. While some people may think that it is okay to use cellphones while driving, they do not put into account the high risks that come from using a cellphone while driving. It is very important that people do not use their cellphones while driving for the safety of everyone else. I agree with the law some states have made that makes it illegal to drive while using a handheld cellphone because it…

result of distracted driving has taken the world by storm. In 2014, The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reported that 18 percent of injury crashes, and 16 percent of all police-reported motor vehicle traffic crashes were reported as distraction-affected crashes (“Dangers of Distracted Driving,” 2016). Distracted driving is driving while doing multiple activities or one activity that takes the attention away from driving (“Distracted Driving,” 2016). Distracted driving has become a…

When someone becomes old enough to driving, life gets complicated in every possible way. In the book “Behind the Wheel Poems About Driving” by Janet S. Wong, she uses driving to teach teens and young people about all sorts of things concerning young people by sharing poems about cars and driving. Janet S. Wong uses her poems to comment and reflect on driving to teach young drivers lessons on driving, life, and to help teens understand why parents may not want them to drive. Wong uses her poems…

Imagine driving along an empty road at night when, all of a sudden, your car has a head-on collision with a Hummer with the force of a thousand raging bulls. The Hummer is not a car but rather a symbol for something infinitely more horrendous. The Hummer represents all of the effects of changing the driving law of 18 to 16, and right now we are the only ones who can stop this terrifying monster from entering our legal system. The first reason this law should be put off the road is because…

the most common age group that get in wrecks with vehicles are teens. I believe that the legal driving age should not be changed to 21 because teens develop responsibilities while they drive, they also become more independent allowing them to not have to rely on their parents to drive them everywhere, not changing the legal driving age also allows teens to gain more experience and develop their driving skills so they can transition into the adult world a bit easier. Lastly, allowing teens to…

Usually I obey the traffic laws while driving, However, I tend sometimes to break small rules when I find myself in a situation that I think allow me to do so. For example when someone is driving so slow on the far left side of the road and keeps you waiting forever or force you to overtake him from the right side. I find myself reasonable when doing so and I don't feel bad about it because it is not my intention to break the law of overtaking only from the left side. However, sometimes it…

drivers, but that alone does not solve the dangers of teenage driving. Teenagers in this generation will get behind the wheel of an automobile and assume that they know all aspects of driving a vehicle. It should be mandatory that teenage drivers take a driver's education class to make driving safer. First, Teenage drivers are easily distracted and have short attention spans. Technology is a factor in teenage distraction during driving. Teenagers spend most of their time on social media.…

to drive.Teens need to learn responsibility while they’re still in high school so if they make a mistake they can be corrected.The minimum driving age should remain at 16 because teens can transport themselves instead of depending on a parent, they will gain responsibility, and their guardian can use that to keep them under control. The first reason the driving age should remain at 16 is so teens don't have to depend on their parents to transport them places.Parents are constantly having to…

The driving age should be bumped up to the age 18 because they'll have more time to learn the rules of the road, gain more experience, and be more aware of driving in general. This would not only be helpful to the new drivers, but also for all the current drivers out there. Before teens could even think about going behind the wheel, they have to hit the books on the multiple rules of the road. These rules have been developed and enforced around the country so that the highways, streets, and all…

After watching that video and looking at research about distracted driving had a very big impact on me. As it reality checked me since distracted driving can lead to hurting multiple people. Even if it's just one text or taking a small phone call, driving requires to be focused and alter, but not many teens know that. And lets not be selfish here, we have to think about others how it might affect a family if you crash into their mom, dad, siblings, their loved ones. As shown in the video, the…
