Do you get upset when there is a person driving in the fast lane on the interstate or on the highway? Do you get annoyed when you see an elderly person driving ten miles under the speed limit? Does it blow your mind when you see a driver pressing their brakes when there is not another vehicle in from of them? If so, there is good news. There is now a law that fines drivers who drives slow in the left lane, who drives under the speed limit and who brakes for no apparent reason.

If the offender has been convicted more than four times and their license is revoked, it can cause difficulty for the individual to commute to and from work. To add, the individual will also have to pay fines up to $150 dollars if they are convicted more than once. Fortunately, there is a solution for the offenders who have violated the law, there is public transportation! Individuals have the option to either pay a small daily fee or a monthly pass to ride the public city buses. This way the individual can remain employed and by using public transportation there are less vehicles on the road which is beneficial for the environment.

The solution to the issues listed above should help cut down traffic backups, road rage, and irritated drivers. Those who have violated the law multiple times can also benefit from the Annoying Drivers Law, individuals can now improve their driver skills and help cut down on pollution in the environment by using public
After reading “Driving While Stupid,” by Dave Barry, he tells us about some of his experience with seeing bad drivers. Barry uses many old experiences while being in Miami, China, Boston, and Argentina. I agree with this statement because in almost every city I been in the driving was terrible. Everyone, in some way or another, has witnessed people drive very stupid and reckless. Barry indicated that some drivers use insane driving techniques. These include driving very fast, failure of the utilization of headlights at night, and having distractions for the view of the drivers. He says that the drivers do not have a sequence for navigation since some are involved in phone calls, eating, reading, changing CDs, crowd surface makeup, etc. This is a common thing for teens and even adults to be distracted behind the wheel. He drove through various cities where the traffic laws are constantly being violated. For example, has only one traffic law, which is “No driver may ever be behind any other driver.” In his opinion, Miami drivers are the worst drivers that he has ever witness because of the guy who was driving on 1-95. He was watching videos on his phone and was clearly not paying attention to the road or any other drivers. This does not only affect him but also the other people around him. He was not be cautious of the road and putting his and others lives in danger.
I was pulled over by a police officer because I was going faster than I was supposed to in that designated area. The zone was a sixty-five mile per hour zone and I was do eighty. I have agreed to the terms that I was found guilty of this and now come to you the reader explaining why it may be dangerous to be speeding in certain areas and ultimately everywhere. During this experience I have learned that there are many consequences for not driving safe, because there is never a good reason to speed. I have learned that it is extremely dangerous to speed and that there will be consequences, even if they are minor like, obtaining a ticket, and occasionally they are major, like killing running into someone else. It does not matter what happens after, you should not be speeding ever because there is never a good
Rather you agree or disagree with having a speed limit; or even obeying the speed limit. It is our morally duty to accept the fact that lawmakers created speed limits in the citizens’ best interest to protect drivers for minor and fatal car accidents. Some citizens still question, if in fact the government claims to set speed limits are really for the public well-being, or simply to make a quick profit. Of course, one thing we can
My gripe is with texting and driving. This is one of the most serious public health issues of our time. I cannot for the life of me believe this practice has not yet been outlawed. Last year in the United States, driver distraction was the cause of 16% of all fatal crashes, killing 5800 people. A further 515,000 people were wounded as the result of distracted driving. The worst part is that up to 50% of teenagers the least experienced drivers on the road report texting and driving. We are teaching the next generation to drive without teaching them about responsibility. Other states have already passed laws, but our politicians are on record as saying they cannot ban something they do themselves. How irresponsible! Thankfully, Senator Jim Duncan is proposing a bill that would outlaw texting and driving. Please click here to sign a petition supporting Prop 733T, the Anti-Roadway Carnage Bill, and help keep our streets safe.
Driving under the influence (DUI) is a serious criminal offense in Georgia. While most offenses are considered a misdemeanor, drivers can still face serious consequences. This is why it is always a good idea to contact a DUI lawyer immediately after being arrested.

A dangerous habit is developing here in Florida and its practicing is spreading rapidly. Florida is doing and practicing to prevent distraction driving. But, Florida is not doing enough to prevent the distraction driving accident’s. Distraction driving is affecting everyone and specially our young’s ones. So, in order to prevent distraction driving accident’s, is to in force the laws more and increased the paying fees more. That, at least will lower the distraction driving accident’s in our state of Florida. So, remember our state of Florida is already doing and practicing to prevent distracting driving, but Florida is not doing enough to prevent it.
On the days I practiced my driving norm-violation, I found that people became frustrated when they were unable to pass me. In one instance, after a man began to tailgate me, I realized he was irritated that I was traveling 30 miles per hour. As I was traveling on a no pass road, he waited until no car was in the

In the instance of drunk driving, the actions of the drunk driver are related to the safety of the drivers within their proximity and therefore affects not only the driver but others as well. Our previous moral experiences allow us to determine what the intentions of the drunk driver might be. Some drivers may choose to drive under the influence of alcohol because they have had an emergency that requires them to be at a certain place and they do not have the means to reach to their destination except for driving themselves. In this case, the context becomes complicated and intricate. However, if the driver is risking his own and other drivers’ safety, it becomes clear that their intentions are based on nonchalance and disregard for others.
One of the biggest mistakes in my life occurred at that time. It was 1:45 am already and the highway was as very dark. I was still going 80, and I never thought there would be a sheriff automobile just waiting for someone at almost 2:00am in the morning to be speeding in an empty highway such as the one I was in. But some how he caught someone, and that “someone” was me. He pulled me over on the side of the
Some states have made it illegal to drive while using a hand held cell phone. I fully agree with this law because, this will help save lives in the future. I think this law should be established all around the world, and help eradicate distracted driving. I am agreeing with this law because I think it could save thousands of lives, and prevent from teenagers being in so many accidents.

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.
Arizona law makers took notice of the dangers that are created by aggressive drivers. The lawmakers amended the “Reckless Driving Section and amended the name of the statute 28-695 to Reckless and Aggressive Driving. Arizona statute defines aggressive driving as a situation in which a person commits a violation of speeding and at least two other traffic violations (i.e., failure to obey traffic control devices, improper passing, driving off the pavement or traveled portion of the highway, following too close, failure to yield right-of-way, or driving in a way that is an immediate hazard to another person or vehicle).” (ARIZONA DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SAFETY , para. 2). This was an important step allow law enforcement a tool to make the roads safer. The serious problem is we should be trying to be safer on our own.
