Drunk Driving

On a similar note, everyone knows that cars are very dangerous and that they contribute to approximately a lot of death and misery annually, so it should come as no surprise to anyone that I would be enrolled in driver’s ed to hopefully prevent said misery from happening. The class, along with mandatory classwork, also required six days of actual driving with the instructor. Unsurprisingly, my general fluster in life did not translate well to the act of driving. Indeed, while I succeeded in my main goal of not obliterating the car, my skill with driving was about equal to a quadriplegic’s, and I was a shining example of a hazard to society for every single ride. The driving instructor, a rather intimidating man, did little to quell the overwhelming fear in my gut. Now, I feel, is a good time to bring up another fun fact about myself: along with being a very nervous boy, I am also a

Driver’s Education courses are important for a new driver.  Drivers Education is proven to help young driver’s become familiar with driving and to learn important defensive driving techniques.  Our mission at Greenbrier High School should be to incorporate a Driver’s Education course into the curriculum for their students.  Teens from the ages 16-19 have the highest accident rate in the nation.  It is important for teens to complete a Driver’s Ed course so they can learn road safety rules, traffic rules and regulations, and defensive driving strategies.

Do you know how long it takes into you get your license ? At the age of sixty without driver education you have to wait 270 days to take the test and you have to have so many hours driving with a parent. It takes six months before you can take your driver license test . But ,if you have successfully completed an approved driver education program you can get it sooner . I don’t think that’s fair . Anderson needs to change the policy to make it easier to get a driver license .

This paper explores the research and find results on how drinking and driving has become a big problem in the United States. Drinking and driving effects a person’s ability to operate a vehicle and therefore drunk drivers need to be educated on the repercussions with drinking and driving. Every day drunk drivers are arrested, either for traffic violations, reckless driving, and random stops on the road, or accidents. This paper also examines and explains what happens to the people affected by drinking and driving and what the people can do to avoid it. There have been many cases of injured people due to drinking and driving. Laws have been

Driving has become an integral part of today's society.The ability to commute long distances and perform daily tasks quickly (such as picking up food at the grocery store) is evidence of our advancement in technology.Naturally earning the ability to drive is a cornerstone in anyone's life,"sixteen" being an age well remembered for this new-found knowledge. This changed however when Oregon passed a law limiting these privileges called "graduated licensing" - and although its intentions are well meaning graduated licensing's result is far from perfect.

As cell phones become more popular, texting while driving is becoming the most widely known cause for car accidents among teens. The alarming rate of incidents where texting is involved is getting more parents worried and warning their children about the danger of texting while driving. Parents are urging the fact that drivers should pay attention to the road and traffic, not their phones. A popular study of 18 to 24 year old drivers showed that 66 percent of them have texted while driving. Since texting while driving is becoming more popular many states are passing a law to ban the use of any cell phone device while in a vehicle. Texting while driving is an important issue that is causing many deaths and those who cause these deaths and

Millions of Americans do it. Many say “What’s the harm, I got home safely and no one was hurt?” They put those keys in the ignition and drive away after drinking.

My dad taught me how to drive his truck the second my feet could reach the gas pedal. I loved the idea of being able to get into a vehicle and to have the freedom of traveling anywhere you wanted to. I got my first vehicle, a beat up Jeep Wrangler, that I repaired with my dad. When I finally got my drivers license, I felt like I had the world in my hands. That was before the accident. Now when I think of long road trips, I tense up and grow increasingly anxious. Whenever I am at a stoplight, I become restless as I stare at the red light and nervously glance around me for any cars coming my way. I have to drive a big SUV or else I become very uneasy. I get easily startled on the road and flinch at cars that come near me. I don’t enjoy driving anymore. The thing is, this could have all been prevented by a simple decision. Driving drunk is not worth the emotional and physical impact you put on other’s lives.

Every single injury and death caused by drunk driving is totally preventable. The proportion of alcohol-impaired drinking and driving crashes has dropped dramatically over time. But there are still far too many such preventable crashes. So in spite of great progress, alcohol-impaired drinking and driving remains a serious problem. It tragically effects many victims

We have all had some kind of knowledge or even personal experience with the effects of drinking and driving, whether it is watching a report on the news, having friends or family being involved as a victim or offender, to even being a victim or offender yourself. The aftermath of drinking and driving, even if only a few drinks were consumed, is a tragedy for all persons involved. The current rational of just having a few drinks is that consuming only a little alcohol means that the person isn’t intoxicated nor suffers the effects of alcohol, even though medical science proves this to be false. Typically the majority of offenders that drink and drive, do not set out to operate a motor vehicle under the influence, much less, understand the

The ability to drive to me means, that you are capable of following the state driving rules. Almost anyone could drive a car, even a 10 year old. However, safety is another important part of the ability to drive. Therefore, if a person is not safe on the road, then they should not be driving such as, a 10 year old. Each person should also have the skills in which they can operate a car safely. Good vision, the ability to concentrate and reflexes are some important things to have to operate a vehicle safely. I think there are many things which can affect a person’s driving such as, alcohol, drugs, tiredness, cell phones, eyesight and sometimes age. These factors can be very dangerous when combined with driving. They can cause slower reaction times, sleepiness, poor

On September 16, 2014, I went to the Georgia Department of Driver Services to take my driver's test. The driver instructor was very kind and funny the whole ride. For my last test, he wanted me to make a right turn at the big tree. I could not figure out which tree he was describing so I kept driving. He yelled and said "Turn now!" I hit the brake so hard as possible, he almost hit his head on the dashboard. He began breathing heavily while softly saying, "It's okay, it's okay." When we arrived back at the DDS, I got my license since the instructor passed me. The next day, I showed all my friends my driver's license. My best friend, Hannah, looked at it closely and said, "Uh, you may want to go back and get a new one." When she handed me back

Teens need to be taught that driving is a task that is complex and demanding. Parents know how much experience a young driver has, and they know exactly how inconvenient it is when they have to drive with their teen everywhere while they have their permit. Teens tend to cause most traffic accidents in adults’ eyes. They are not experienced yet, and often fail to pay attention to others on the road. They often think of a car as being some type of toy, but they do not know how powerful it really is. The driver education programs must be strengthened in order to make sure that students really have safer habits, behind the wheel experience, and by having a better understanding of all the laws on the road.

     If you had told me when I turned sixteen that I couldn’t get my license until I turned eighteen, I would have thrown a fit. Now that I am older, I realize that I had no business driving an automobile at 16 years old. I was the typical teenage driver. The cool one, who had the “Detroit

One of the greatest things that teenagers look forward to is getting their driver¡¦s licence and getting the freedom to do whatever they want. Ever since graduated licensing began five years ago, on April 1,1994, many people have made good and bad comments about it.
