Every year American high school students spend the majority of their time in their cars. With many Orono students that are finally getting their license as they reach 16. Most of the students ask for decked out range rovers and jeeps but all they're getting is BMW's and Mercedes. Sadly this is the true cruel reality for most teens in Orono. Even though Orono has been lucky for the past years with no accidents, does not mean that something can not happen. With the subwoofers, blastings, and the…

Using their phones may cause them to get pulled over by the law enforcement or be in an accident. First of all, using your cellphone nowadays is normal. But using it while driving is frowned upon.

Some states have made it a law that you can not use your phone and drive. I agree with this law very much because you can destroy your vehicle, you can hurt yourself or someone else and you can become a distracted driver. My first reason is that if you were to use your phone while driving you could destroy your vehicle. If you wrecked your car then that could cost a lot of money that you may not have, especially if you don't have insurance. You could also hit someone else and that would be…

Despite the evidence provided to the public about the danger of driving while distracted on the phone I think young adults continue to access the their phones to access the internet, talk, or text because we are in an age where people like to constantly be connected to their friends, family, and people that they follow and friend on the Internet. This is the age of instant reaction and response and people want to stay in the know about what's going on with who and where. People that text and…

Distracted driving and walking is dangerous, distracted players are easy for criminals to find and target, and players are tempted to disobey laws while playing this game. Do you agree with me? If you don't, maybe this will help. First and foremost, you shouldn't play Pokémon Go because distracted driving and walking is dangerous.…

My initial reaction to the image with the caution sign was confusion, I've never a sign like that before. It also made me wonder why such a sign even exists. The silhouette figures in the image look distraught, they are running away as fast as they can, as if they were being chased. The way the mom is holding the little girl's arm as if trying to get her to run faster, and the girl trying, but failing to catch up with her mother. The caution sign is meant to warn people about families or…

I do not agree with Ms. Taub’s opinion that these attacks will cause so much widespread fear that societies will divide. The attack in Barcelona used a van to drive into a crowd of people. There have also been some other attacks over the past two years involving people using vehicles to do harm to others. The thing is vehicles are a part of everyone’s lives. We all use them to get from one place to the next every single day. Vehicles are such a common occurrence in our lives that we don’t give a…

Texting and Driving Have you heard of people getting into accidents from being on their phone? Almost everyone has seen it. People don’t realize how distracted they can get from texting.

Some say that ninth-graders are the most popular for getting into accidents. This is why ninth-graders are just starting to learn to drive, more so…

Expected Results Books with Ice Cream is expected to serve three hundred students at a total cost of $82,000. This value is derived from similar bookmobile programs such MCNPL’s Words on Wheels program. Based on the description of the bookmobile program, Books with Ice Cream should cost less.
