Script Title: 5 Most Dangerous Roads To Drive On Whether riding in the backseat of a limousine or the driver’s seat of a Fiat, we all travel on the same roads and we all face the same dangers on them. Of course, some roads are more dangerous than others. While most roads we drive on on a daily basis are nicely paved and carefully laid out, there are some roads that would be more suited to the hooves of a mountain goat than to the wheels of a car. With potholes aplenty, a plethora of dangerous…

Daylight Saving Time is adopted by more than 70 countries. However, more often than not people are against shifting the time. Is the idea still beneficial? To start with, Daylight Saving Time increases human safety. For instance, if the daylight hours last longer, the visibility on the road is better. Consequently, there are fewer car accidents. Another thing is that criminal activity is lower as most wrongdoings are committed in the dark. Furthermore, thanks to shifting the time people use less…
Tailgating is all-too-common on the roads today. Not only does it give you little reaction time when the car in front brakes, the car also blocks your view of the road ahead. If the vehicle in front is a truck, then your lack of visibility is compounded. Tailgating a motorcyclist threatens the person's life. Motorcyclists can fall off their bikes on slippery pavement or when they hit a pothole. Should this happen to a motorcyclist just a few feet in front of you, you won't have time to avoid…

But somehow, at least for me, the idea of it actually all being real didn't happen until I had gotten into an accident where I was forced to deal with the…

The silhouette figures in the image look distraught, they are running away as fast as they can, as if they were being chased.

The caution sign is meant to warn people about families or…
