Does The Highway Traffic Act Cause Diligence

Imagine that you are in a car. This car is going 80 miles per hour and just a few feet to the left to you someone else is going to pass you, but they are passing you while they are on their phone. Would you be ok with that? I wouldn't want someone next to me on their phone if we were going 30 miles per hour, let alone 80. I'm going to talk about how we should give police officers more control and tougher laws to stop distracted driving. Also in this paper I'm going to tell you about how many people died or got injured last year due to distracted driving and that we need to teach kids the dangers of distracted driving and how it's not ok.

Roy Ivan Kennedy in Kennedy v Reimers [2010] 411 for violating Transport Operations Regulation 2009 in failing to stop for a yellow traffic arrow. Section 57 (2) of the said regulation states that "a driver who is approaching"¦ a yellow traffic arrow"¦ must stop "¦if there is a stop line or near the traffic arrow and the driver can stop safely before reading the stop line (SCLQLD, 2011). The issues for determining was whether he could have safely stopped before reaching the stop line or he had an honest and reasonable but mistaken belief that he was not able to stop (SCLQLD).

Under California constitutional law, services provided by state agencies generally must be performed by state civil service employees. In some cases the state may contract with private firms to obtain services. However, there are limitations as to when such contracting is allowed, for example, if services needed by the state are: (1) of a temporary nature, (2) not available within the civil service, or (3) of a highly specialized or technical nature. According to the argument in favor of Proposition 35, private contracting has been further limited by several lawsuits filed by Caltrans bureaucrats.

This paper is prepared in order to understand the IRAC format (Issues, Rule, Analysis, and Conclusion). The IRAC format is considered as the standard format for soling the case studies of the law. In this paper, the case of “ROADS AND TRAFFIC AUTHORITY OF NEW SOUTH WALES V DEDERER (2007)” is selected to demonstrate the learning about the comprehension and understanding of terminology of law, particularly the terms used in the Law of Tort. Moreover, critical things and case law searching to solve the case study is also practiced and properly referenced in the solution of the case study. Here is the case study solution:

David Leon Riley was pulled over by a police officer for a driving a vehicle with expired license tags. The police officer who initially stopped Riley discovered that his driver’s license had also been suspended. Following department procedures, the police officer then continued to impound his vehicle. Before the car was impounded, the police officers are required to do an inventory of all of the components of the vehicle to prevent being liable for any missing items after the car is recovered, as well as, to discover any illegal or dangerous items. During the vehicle search, officers found two handguns under the hood of Riley’s vehicle and then proceeded to arrest Riley for the possession of firearms. When the arresting officer conducted a person’s search of Riley, it was found that Riley had a cell phone in his pocket. The cell phone was taken by police and taken back to the station where an analyst discovered data on Riley’s cell phone that was ultimately used to tie Riley to a drive-by shooting that had occurred a few weeks earlier. Based on the pictures and video recovered by the detective analyst specializing in gangs, and ballistics tests conducted on the two hand guns found in Riley’s vehicle, the state of California charged Riley in connection with the shooting. The arresting officer accessed data stored on Riley’s cell phone and noticed a repeated term associated with a street gang.

fter the Reconstruction era, Southern states passed Jim Crow Laws to limit and/or take away rights from African Americans. In 1890, Louisiana passed the Separate Car Act which required railroads to provide equal but separate seats for white and colored people. The Citizens’ Committee to test the Constitutionality of the Separate Car Act raised money to challenge the constitutionality of the Act. Homer Plessy, a 30-year-old shoemaker took up the challenge. Homer had seven white grandparents and one was black. In this situation, he was legally termed as colored or black. On June 7, 1892, he bought train tickets to Louisiana and sat in the area reserved for whites. He told the conductor that he was black and when the conductor asked him to move

Arizona is one of four states that has yet to put a law against distracted driving into effect. The definition of distracted driving is defined as the practice of driving a motor vehicle while engaged in another activity. 21% of fatal accidents involving a teen driver were caused by distracted driving. Do these statistics confirm that a harsh distracted driving law need to be in effect or should it be a personal responsibility of oneself or the parents of young drivers. As more states create distracted driving laws the number of deaths each year are still rising meaning that these law that are being set are not fixing the issue and are seemingly making it worse. Distracted driving should be a personal responsibility and not a law that needs

.” In response to Plessy’s comparison of the Separate Car Act to supposed laws requiring blacks and whites to walk on different sides of the street or to live in differently colored houses, Brown also stated that the “Separate Car Act” had a purpose which was to preserve “public peace and good order” and was therefore a “reasonable” exercise of the legislature’s police power. This final outcome was unfortunate, and remained in place until Brown vs. Board of

Called on the ticket. It's complete nightmare/joke. You have to request permission from the court in writing by Sept. 18 to take defensive driving. They have to approve request and than you can. We request defensive driving by doing the following.

Advancing technology in wireless communications is presenting a growing concern for distracted driving due to using cell phones and other electronic devices while driving. Although distracted driving accidents and fatalities have risen in the last decade, placing a ban on the use of a cell phone or other electronic devices while operating a motor vehicle as some states have will not resolve the issue. In fact a ban on cell phones and driving may very well increase the accident and fatality rate because drivers are now more involved with concealing their illegal behaviors. More citizen participation and drivers safety management should be more carefully considered in a transpiring situation such as this. More Americans should be

In the United States, Reckless driving is the number one cause of teenage death in the nation. Reckless driving can be classified as anything from speeding and swerving, to purposely trying to run someone over, or hurt them while driving. In America, there are countless organizations calling to help end the high death rate in teenagers that reckless driving takes. People such as Parents, Drivers Education Instructors and even state legislators have realized the problem and are seeking reform. In 2011 alone 2,650 teens between the ages of 16-19 were killed due to reckless driving. (CDC) Reckless driving is a death that is very preventable, with proper education and warning. As well as problem that is not taken seriously by the juvenile’s committing the act. Most juveniles don’t worry what so ever about dying in a car crash because they think that it won’t happen to them. Under Reckless Driving, in Green Bay, speeding, not paying attention and lack of caring are three of the biggest issues with teen drivers and juveniles.

Simply not paying attention to other motorist of the road can give way for an accident it is important to heed to all warnings and cautions of the road to ensure safety and well-being for any and all passenger or pedestrians on the road or not only will you be paying a ticket or fine but possibly some medical bills due to a careless at fault mistake through reckless

Just three days prior I encountered the similar misfortune of a driver unaware of the surrounding traffic. The rain had been steadily downpouring by the time I had reached the Expressway on my way home from Philadelphia: although it wasn’t the kind of rain that eliminates visibility, it had caused two cars to collide already. The police car’s lights attracted the center and right lanes to slow in an attempt to see what had happened, but the lights also contributed to the sea of headlights and streetlights refracting through the rain, debilitating any driver’s vision. Driving in the center lane, both the car in front of me and I slowed almost to a stop because of the drivers ahead: unfortunately the left lane’s traffic prevented me from passing this car, which I then remained behind as she changed to the left lane. Continuing for about one hundred yards, she suddenly stopped, and, abandoning my practice of pumping the brakes in the rain, I slammed on them in an attempt to miss the small sedan, causing my car to fishtail, skid, then collide with the center barrier, killing me instantly. My three passengers were quite alarmed by this, and I apologized several times over the duration of the ride, noting each time I gradually slowed instead of stopping

Traffic laws are designed to protect you and other drivers on the road. If we do not follow them we are not only putting ourselves at risk but also innocent bystanders and drivers. By knowing the rules of the road, practicing good driving skills and generally taking care as a road user, you help play a vital role in preventing a crash. You will also be making road safety policies more effective. Many factors play a role in road safety including following the speed limits that are posted and making sure safety equipment is properly installed and used. I will also discuss the skills that are expected and needed to be an efficient driver including the ability to act responsibly, the ability to

Violations in traffic laws are very common in a highly populated country like India. The conditions are even worse in metro cities like Delhi, Mumbai Bangalore and Chennai. The accidents associated with these violations cause a huge loss to life and property.
