A Research Study On Driving Habits

Street racing has become very popular among teenagers and young adults. Many of whom don’t have the years of driving experience but they still prefer to do it just for the sake of fun. Street racing has been around for years, but recently Hollywood and the media have had the interest in entertaining us with this concept so they decided to make TV shows and movies like “Fast and the Furious”. They make it seem fine to street race in neighborhoods, but they don’t show the dangers involved in such an action. Not only are there dangers involved, but also some legal action could take place. After all, street racing is illegal. Not only is the media fascinating us with street racing, but automakers are also racing to create the fastest cars on the

Street racing is considered one of the most dangerous act for aggressive drivers. This is because of excessive speeding. While speeding at an excessive rate you can lose control of your car and it could end up crashing into a car, an object and even a animal or a human. You also end up killing yourself and anyone else

The article “Bad Habits that Can Kill- Distracted Driving Is One Of The Leading Causes Of Road Accidents,” states many satisfactory points that I concur with. However, I would like to offer alternative positions and suggestions that may improve the article. First of all, I would like to point out the facts and statistics used in the article. The writer has used many exceptional details and data to support his or her argument; yet, I have to question whether or not if they are reliable due to lack of unknown sources. Secondly, the article's title has the words “Bad Habits” and “Distracted Driving”, yet the writer only states one bad habit and one distraction, phones. Although cell phones is an excellent example of distractions when driving,

When the Canadian public was surveyed by the Canadian Council of Motor Transportation Administrators about road safety, only 28% of participants believed that their community’s road safety was “very safe” (ranking a 6 or 7 on a 7 point scale). In fact, this is a logical claim, as in 2014, CCMTA released statistics stating that about 112,167 car accidents that occurred that year resulted in personal harm (including fatalities). As drivers in Canada, we are expected to make safe choices when operating motorized vehicles. Unsafe driving does not only affect the person who chose to drive in this manner; car accidents may involve passengers, other drivers on the road, and pedestrians. It is essential that anybody with a license takes measures

Each day people put themselves in danger when they step into a motorized vehicle. Approximately 37,000 Americans die each year due to car accidents; in addition, 2.3 million are either injured or disabled ("Road Crash Statistics."). When a driver is operating a motorized vehicle, there are possible dangers that include cutting off other drivers when switching lanes, exceeding the speed limit, and drivers whose skills are not as good as they were 30+ years ago. Elderly drivers are being scrutinized because they are frequently involved in car accidents.

In America, a country comprised of free citizens, one may want to drive a sports car at extreme speeds. Consequently, in an effort to keep the public safe, state legislatures pass laws that are intended for protecting the public. In fact, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) (2015) “higher speeds also contribute to the severity of crashes. There is a greater chance of death and disabling injuries when speed increases” (para. 20). While laws such as speed limits may reduce the absolute freedom of a citizen, society as a whole has accepted this as acceptable in the national interest of safety. The NHTSA went on to state that a driver with a change of speed going 50 m.p.h. was twice as likely to be killed as one with a change in speed going 40

Cars are large bodies made of metal that are regularly traveling anywhere between thirty-five and seventy miles per hour. These machines gather speed and force that is more than enough to seriously injure and likely kill anyone who happens to be in the way. People somehow ignore these glaring details and often drive carelessly or recklessly despite the potential consequences, two examples of this are tailgating and eating while driving.

Communities today are facing a real crisis for parameters that appear in the increase of traffic accidents which claim the lives of many people, which are caused by drinking alcohol and driving without paying attention to the danger facing the driver and all those who are accompanying him. This crisis has led to the loss of a large number of segments of society, especially the younger groups. Also, there is a continuous increase in the number of wounded and the disabled. The crisis in the USA shows clearly that it’s dangerous, as hundreds of youth are exposed to the conduct of deadly accidents

Looking at a few of the specific drivers in the study, one women drove faster and engaged in last-minute breaking when she was listening to hip-hop music. A male driver listening to a heavy metal playlist drove much faster than the other drivers. While it might not be shocking to find that both of these genres negatively influenced these drivers’ driving, many people might be surprised to learn that classical music actually caused one male and one female driver to drive more erratically than when they were not listening to any music at all.

Rules of the road are important to controlling traffic flow and how to respond to the many road systems. Knowing your vehicle and other’s vehicles can help solve the problem of your own or anticipate what others will do or try. Finally, safety is the number one thing to know while driving on the road, driving is very dangerous but this risk can be lowered with the right knowledge and choices. There are many things a new driver should know, but in the end they will look back and see that it was worth

As more incidents of fatal motor accidents flood in and the death road toll of young people slowly increases, media moguls, concerned youths and the general community alike have expressed discontent to such reckless behaviour. In an imploring opinion piece, titled “Driving the Highway from Destruction!” (Place of publication: Ednews, Date: unknown), an astute student, Elly heart denounces such misconceptions imposed upon young people and vehemently argues for the change in public perceptions and values. In addition to this, with the two large images embedded in her article, the opinion piece suggests a clear contention: that all drivers, both young and experienced, should take greater care in ensuring our safety on the roads.

CBC used Figure 1 for a public safety campaign sponsored by the Office of Traffic Safety in Alberta Canada. It was used among other images to display the danger drivers put themselves and others in every day when they start up a vehicle. The image was used for bus safety to make people aware of the dangers drivers put children in if they don’t stop for red flashing lights. This image was among others that promoted public safety and obedience to traffic laws in the topic of commercial drivers, bicyclists, distracted driving, and recreational vehicles.

Roadways are, unfortunately, the scene where preventable urban fatalities take place. Pedestrians unknowingly crossing busy streets; drivers distracted by their phones;

Throughout the research undertaken for this report, it is evident that there are many accidents which happen (be it a minor injury or a fatality) within urban areas on the roadside, including motorists. Results could show that motorists do not pay enough attention to their surroundings and only look for other motorists or it could suggest that cyclists are reckless whilst in movement. For instance, when swerving in and out of traffic, not allowing motorists to see them or it could be a mixture of the two.

Shinar: Contended that dissatisfaction coming about because of deferrals and movement clogging is a benefactor to forceful driving. This study inspected Israeli drivers' responses to a circumstance in which the driver in front of them didn't move when the movement light turned green. Shinar found that when the light the members were at just stayed green for a short measure of time, they were faster to blare than when they were at a light which stayed green for a more drawn out time of time. He additionally found that drivers were
