Most people don't realize that driving in the rain, is more dangerous than driving in snow. Just because its rain doesn't mean you cant keep up with the normal speed limit, you can slide a lot worse in rain, and this can lead to over correcting, which has cause many deaths. When the pavement gets wet, all the oils on the road come up to the surface. This is more dangerous than ice. To get your car rain ready tire tread is everything, you need deep tire tread for this. 4/32 is the inch, place a…

The zip code 30114 is located in Cherokee County, a north metro Atlanta county which contains the cities of Woodstock, Canton, Ball Ground, Holly Springs and Waleska. The issue of suburban sprawl is the most pressing problem in the 30114 zip code. I choose this zip code as opposed to the zip code where I live 30064, because I'm constantly observing and critiquing sociological information where I live, so I choose to observe a different area from a sociological perspective. My boyfriend lives in…
Underride accidents involving a car going under the trailer of a semi truck are often fatal. The car's windshield and pillar structures are too flimsy to resist the shearing forces that occur when they collide with the bottom edge of a semi's trailer. Because of this, the survival prospects for the driver and passengers of the car are grim. Although underride guards are mandated for the rear of the trailer, none are required for the sides. Motorists must always exercise caution around trucks.…
A ban on using cellphones or texting while driving. I believe that the use of cellphone while driving should be banned. With the advance of technology, cellphones have become the most common form of communication and it is the easiest way to reach families and friends at any given time. Cellphones are very important in this century, without them most people would find it difficult to function. Cellphones are used not only for communication purposes, but can also be used as an everyday device to…
A quote I once read by Peter Zilahy states "You have to make choices even when there is nothing to choose." On the freeway headed towards downtown it happened to me again that dreaded slow driver in the far left lane or better know as the passing lane. Okay, I'll be honest, I was annoyed. I came across a road rage meme and it made laugh so hard! It was Kermit the Frog with a bolded caption that said" My face when ... I'm finally to the person who would let me over." I'm looking at it again…
Your car is your lifeline. You use it to get to work, the grocery store, the kids' schools, and all the other places that your busy life needs requires visiting. If your car is damaged or otherwise in trouble, it can set you back both financially and personally, requiring costly repairs and leaving you out of luck with no way to get to where you need to go. That's why it's so important to react quickly when you notice that there is something wrong with your car. Like an injury to your own body,…
As driving can be dangerous, it can kill and injure many people throughout the United States. The S.T.A.N.D.U.P Act will require every state in America to make a Graduated License System with requirements and restrictions for young drivers. In the name of the act itself, each letter stands for a part of safety that is needed to keep a strong and safe community. I believe that this act needs to be passed to ensure the safety of everyone on the roads. Afterall, around 4,000 teenagers are killed…

A few weeks ago, I was driving down highway 36 to get to my house and the person in front of me was going 50 on a 55 and I was getting very mad at the person, then he decides to turn right off of the road but he didn’t use his turn signal so I almost knocked into him. I hate when people drive without using turn signals, go under the speed limit, and have their brights on. Driving without using turn signals really grinds my gears. Driving without using turn signals really grinds my gears. When…
