Drivers Shouldn’t Be Allowed to Toot Car Horns Unless It’s a Case of Emergency

Judge Paul Heath Till’s essay “Morals, Manners, Customs, and Public Perception” has a very unique structure that helps the effectiveness of the authors argument. He starts off by giving reasons why people are lacking manners in everyday life. He also gives definitions of the words manner, manners, moral, and customs and then goes further to discuss the true meaning of these words. He also relates his life experiences and his personal beliefs to the topic at hand.

annoyance to the normal person in the community.” Coty, 149 Vt. 451, 457 (1988). The fact that Ms. Carmody cannot go outside and enjoy her yard because of the smell generated by Mr. Ellis’ chicken coop creates an act that is “inconvenient” for Ms. Carmody. Id. The crowing generated by the rooster in the morning and throughout the day has become an annoyance to Ms. Carmody because the crowing is so continuous throughout the day. Both the noise and the smell can be looked as being offensive to Ms.

When looking for the three figurative language examples within the short stories, I chose to use the short story, “A Good Man is Hard to Find” by author Mary O’Conner. The first example of figurative language was a simile, “raised her head like a parched old turkey hen crying for water” (O’Conner 1955). This is being used to describe the women’s face and the expression on it making this a good example of a simile. This description works well because it takes two things that are similar in look but are not the same.

In this article “Distracted Driving”, many distractions are mentioned other than just cell phone usage, such as changing the radio station or driving with kids in the back seat. It is stated that the dangers from distracted driving are because of the decrease in brain function and inability to pay full attention to the road. These practices lead to wrecks and in many cases death.

Horns and fast cars is not what I want to hear when I am traveling. Yes, maybe an interstate is faster than the back roads, but where is the fun on driving on those overcrowded things. I want to hear just my tires on the highway, the reason is because it is very interesting with all of the sightseeing that goes on driving on this highway. There is old towns, original gas

Behind the wheel, there are many different distractions the driver can face. An online article by LiveScience.com showed an experiment done by the University of Houston and the Texas A&M Transportation Institute in which they put different distraction in different categories. The three categories I read about were Cognitive, Emotional, and Sensorimotor distractions. In the experiment, they asked the participant thought provoking questions, emotion provoking questions, and made them text while driving. They then tested stress levels and all three caused a noticeable amount of stress. This source shows a few different kinds of distractions that anyone can face behind the wheel giving anyone who reads it awareness of these

In this article, Peters and Peters discuses about the risk of multitasking while driving. Not only they propose a problem, but also tries to give the reader an alternative ways of preventing the cause of an accident. He gives us three-risk factors that can reduce the chances of getting into an accident. They suggest having a printed and audible warning to warn the drivers not to use the device unless the vehicle is not moving, an integrated system “which all device are either shut off or out of driver’s sight when the vehicle is in motion” and finally, “ marketing and dealer restraint”. If these warnings are available in the vehicle, there should be a less chance to be distracted and cause an accident and also, this can be useful thing to create in the vehicle to remind the driver not to multitask while

Cognitive (mental) distractions, these happen when the drivers' mind becomes focused on voices and actions around them, apart from

I think that one of the easiest and best ways to break this habit is simply to turn off your phone. In this case the driver wouldn’t be distracted by the ringing or buzzing of the phone, and it wouldn’t tempt the driver to text while driving. Another way to break this habit is to download some of the new applications that can disable cell phones while people are driving. Also there are other applications that automatically send a text to whoever is texting the driver to tell that person that she/he is driving, and that the text will be answered later. There are a great variety of applications to choose I think that we can use these to help us with the problem of texting while we are driving. Additionally, if a driver is waiting for an important call or text and has company in the car, the phone can be given to a passenger to check it out. Also there are some programs that are helping to raise awareness about the dangers of distracted driving and to keep it from occurring. In these anti-texting programs people can drive in a simulated situation, where they are driving but also texting, and can see how many accidents are caused by this

Nowadays, distracted drivers are causing an amount of serious car accidents. In fact, driver distractions are leading the cause of most road accidents. Here are some common distractions which cause by the driver, for example, talking on a cell phone, sending text messages, reaching for a moving object inside the vehicle, looking at an object or event outside of the vehicle, reading a book, eating food, applying makeup, adjusting mirrors while driving, radio in vehicle, animals on the road, looking at banners and billboards. The driver should not be distracted due to these things and reduce speed to remain safe during diversions and other kind of outside distractions.

As many people may know, distracted driving has become more of an issue as the years pass. There are multiple different things that you may not even know could be causing you a distraction while you are driving. These things could include loose object rolling around on the floorboard, change jingling in a console or in a cup holder, radio turned at a high volume causing you not to hear other car horns or sirens, children or pets in the car, fixing hair and or makeup, too many passengers, making adjustments to things in on your vehicle, such as adjusting the mirrors or the seats, texting, or attempting to eat and drink.

During the third quarter, my English class was assigned a two-part book project on the epic poem we were reading, The Odyssey by Homer. This poem is about the ten-year struggle of a cunning, strong man named Odysseus to return home after the Trojan War. Odysseus battles mythical creatures and faces the wrath of the Greek gods, all while his wife Penelope and his son Telemachus try to stir away the suitors who want to marry Penelope and gain Ithaca's throne.

Once a driver gets on their phone, they also may decrease in speed because they are not focusing on the speedometer, which could lead to other drivers becoming agitated. Then the other drivers may exhibit road rage which could become dangerous to others on the road. A driver’s focus should always remain on the road. If one is on their phone they cannot see or hear what is happening around them. A driver being on the phone while driving is one of the biggest distractions drivers today face.

Other drivers on the road take notice of drivers on their cell phones whether they want to or not because of the hazards they create. Erratic driving is something that we all get quite worked up about, especially if it makes us late or is otherwise a direct inconvenience to us. Scott Clark, veteran web business strategist and the owner of the consultancy BuzzMaven Labs, says “[He] came within inches of a bad accident because of a young driver being on the phone and crossing three lanes of traffic at 45 mph.” Drivers are also tailgating you because of, again, the inability to maintain a constant speed because they are on the phone. Clark warns of “[…] the rusty red Camaro [tailgating] the minivan full of kids.”

The Nun’s Priest’s Tale is an allegory that uses animals with human characteristics in order to portray the moral of the story. The story centers on a rooster named Chanticleer, who possesses many human qualities, such as speaking, singing, and the ability to dream. Partlet, a hen, is described as “polite, discreet, debonair, and companionable” (153). These are characteristics not typically associated with animals, which strengthens the message that the animals are representative of humans. Furthermore, Chanticleer and the other animals display human emotions, such as Chanticleer’s fear of his dream, Partlet’s disgust of Chanticleer’s fear, and the love that Chanticleer and Partlet feel for one another. Furthermore, the fox, Sir Russell, also
