Rear-end collision

Board, there were 1.7 million rear-end crashes across the U.S. in 2012. These accidents resulted in 500,000 injuries and 1,700 deaths. In order to cut down on rear-end collisions, automakers have developed crash avoidance technologies, which the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is planning to add to its recommended safety list. Common causes of rear-end collisions As is the case with all types of auto accidents, there are a number of factors that contribute to causing rear-end wrecks. Some of the most common causes of these types of collisions include the following: • Speed • Tailgating • Driver distractions • Hazardous weather conditions Furthermore, alcohol intoxication often plays a role in causing rear-end accidents. Due to these, and other…

(Weinstein 139-143) With the Ford Pinto racing to the automotive market in half the time it takes most cars, several problems arose. A serious design flaw involving the fuel tank meant any rear end collisions would pierce the gas tank, and if any sparks were present, ignite the gasoline. Iococca was alerted of the issue, but mass production of the Pinto had already begun. To keep the profit margin of the Pinto the same but not raise the price for consumers, Iococca denied any modifications,…

In the rear-end collision, the second vehicle that collides into the vehicle in front is usually at fault. However, there are exceptions to this such as when a car cuts off a truck in stop-and-go interstate traffic or when the car misjudges the truck's speed and pulls out in front of it from a side road. How does the commercial or owner operator truck driver cope with this? By driving more defensively and learning to anticipate these kinds of situations. He should also drive at a speed…

"Mason are you here for therapy?" requested Dr. Stiner, as he casually moved towards Mason, who was in the shadow of building half way into the night. The moon was high in the sky, creating small shadows in which Mason hid. Mason only nodded in response. "Follow me towards the movie theater," uttered Dr. Stiner. He proceeded to jaunt towards the theater with Mason close behind. The way Mason paced himself only made it seem like he was having a struggle keeping up with the doctor. The walk lasted…

if one object loses momentum the other object must gain an equal amount of momentum. An isolated system is one which the only forces are between the bodies that are colliding or exploding, no outside forces must be acting. (M.Mann, 2013) Investigative Question: Is momentum conserved during the collision of a brick and a trolley? Hypothesis: The momentum of the trolley before the collision will be equal to the…

accidents is tailgating. It means driving too close to the car in the front. Although tailgating may not seem much dangerous and may rather seem unavoidable, but the reality is that this dangerous driving habit is cause of thousands of car accidents every year. Tailgating is one of the leading causes of rear end collisions. The…

mistakes, regardless of the consequences. By addressing this counterargument he is contradicting himself because he said that even he would choose a more experienced doctor, but by doing this, he is building a rapport with the readers and increasing his credibility by sharing that he too knows that it is hard to allow people to practice on their loved ones. Not correcting mistakes can and will lead to terrible complications. “When things go wrong, it is usually because a series of failures…
