Still another advantage of lane-splitting is reduction of travel time and traffic congestion. As Aupetit and his co-authors point out, lane-splitting can cut the time it takes for a motorcyclist to travel from one place to the next by half (302). Furthermore, according to Alvarez, lane-splitting gives the motorcyclist his own space in which to drive. In essence, instead of there being only two lanes for traffic, there are now three lanes—two lanes for automobile drivers and one for the motorcyclist. The result is a decrease in traffic by spreading the traffic out over three lanes instead of two (3). This would be beneficial for motorcyclists and automobilists alike. If traffic were congested, a motorcyclist could lane-split. Lane-splitting
Even though we have different candidates to vote for, most of them have the same point of view, they’re on the side of transnational companies who don’t care how they leave the land they have explored.
Some automobilists may oppose lane-splitting because they believe it places unnecessary stress upon automobile drivers and because lane-splitting subjects motorcyclists, automobilists, and even pedestrians to needless risks. Alvarez implies that automobilists like to solely think about the cars directly in front, behind, and beside them. They do not want to share a lane with a motorcyclist and worry about possibly hitting the motorcycle if they decided to switch lanes or even open their car door. (3). While neither abolishing nor specifically legalizing the practice, CA.gov DMV Handbook: Motorcycle cautions: “…riding between rows of stopped or moving vehicles in the same lane can leave you vulnerable. A vehicle could turn suddenly or change
1. The description of Acts 7 paints a clear and accurate picture of what is being described inside Sanhedrin, the highest court in Jerusalem. Stephen had been arrested and brought before the court where the high priest asks Stephen if the charges of blasphemy an alleged attack against the law are true. Instead of defending himself, Stephen addresses the court with a formal charge against the Jews. In addition, Stephen delivers his sermon by chronologically walking the court through a geographical narrative starting with God's covenant with Abraham. Stephen reminded the Jewish leaders about Mesopotamia the origin of their ancestor Abraham and his journey with God. Abraham received instructions from God to leave his country and everyone behind
Nostra Aetate represents the historical period it was written in because the document would effectively bind the wounds of centuries of Christian Anti-Semitism and reexamine the churches relationship with the Jewish people (Traditions, p. 436). With the catastrophic genocide of Jews in the Holocaust, followed by the birth of the first Jewish state of Israel, the church would have to reassess its relationship with Judaism. The document connects Christianity to its Jewish roots and indicates that the two faiths share a common origin through Abraham. The declaration also uses Paul’s letters to the Romans as a New Testament source, where Paul gives reverence to the Jewish faith. The document further clarifies that the early history of the
Increasing following distance between vehicles will also help to reduce the chance of a crash.
Viking ships’ streamlined hulls and shallow keels meant the ships rode high in the water and skimmed the surface. A square sail that could be raised and lowered quickly meant sailors could easily shift from wind to muscle power. Among the Vikings' technological innovations in ship design was a unique side rudder. The method of attachment allowed the rudder to be lifted out of the water quickly, so ships could maneuver right up to shore. Not having to anchor ships in a harbor gave the Vikings another advantage.
Viking battle tactics and weaponry continues to impact our world today. From the unique technique that the Viking performs in battle to the powerful weapons used. The Vikings were the first and probably the last to introduce their unique battle tactic. Which is that they had no professional standing army and did not fight regular formations (Viking Weapons and Warfare). The formation was to charge towards their enemies all at once, catching their enemies off guard and giving the Vikings the advantage of the upper hand. They were able to win battles with the formation due to the loyalty bond between the Viking men and women with their lords (Viking Weapons and Warfare). Another unique battle tactic the Vikings introduced was the spread and lay their weapons in the surrounding area where the battle takes place beforehand, just in case the formation were to backfire (VIKINGS MILITARY TACTICS AND FORTIFICATIONS).
While there are some who oppose lane-splitting because of preconceived notions, there is compelling evidence and arguments that show there are comparatively few lane-splitting accidents and that the practice of lane-splitting actually provides more benefits than detriments. A team of researchers from the University of California, Berkeley conducted an extensive study on the issue of lane-splitting. While piloting their study, Thomas Rice, Lara Troszak, and Taryn Erhardt compiled data from June 2012 through August 2013 in which they analyzed 5,969 motorcycle collisions in California to determine how many of those collisions took place while the motorcyclists were engaged in the practice of lane-splitting. The Berkeley team found that merely
Table 6 shows percent increase and decrease in performance measures for different pairs of lane configurations. Each of the three base scenario lane configurations(1, 2 and 3) was paired with at least one of the nine non base lane configurations(4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12). The pairings were based on the same number of lanes on both the major and minor street approaches. For instance, lane configuration 1 paired with lane configuration 4 and lane configuration 1 paired with lane configuration 7, with lane configuration 1 being a base lane configuration with single lanes on both major and minor streets. While lane configuration 4 is a non-base lane configuration with also single shared lanes on both major and minor streets. Similarly, lane configuration
Traffic flow will be greatly increased during commuting hours especially. Going from two to three lanes is a 50% increase. This combined with the other promoted alternative forms of transportation such as buses, bicycling, and walking will all help to reduce congestion and extend the lifespan of the current transportation infrastructure.
The 1st method the Vikings used was Cremation it very common around the Viking Age Cities in Denmark, Norway, and Sweden. Vikings used temperatures so hot that flesh and bone would turn to ash. Vikings believed during the Norse times that by cremating the body before a land or sea burial, their dead had more chance to reach the afterlife. By cremating their dead the Vikings believed the smoke play an important part to carry their dead to the right destination in the afterlife but achieve their goal they required enough fire so they used a pyre. The dead were cremated wearing their clothes and jewelry. The burnt bones and melted jewelry were then merge together and discarded in distinct ways. The disposal methods were different from region
The Vikings used a written alphabet and letters called Runes. The Vikings believed that the god Odin gave them runes as a gift. They believed the runes were magical and they can also tell the future.
In the next twenty years, this insidious tax is projected to nearly double (Mallinckarodt p1). Bill Fay said," Cars stuck in traffic waste more fuel and emit more pollutants than cars that are moving"(Dahl 4). High occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes are one of the primary tools used to reduce traffic congestion on the state highway system and improve air quality ("HOV Lanes in California …" p1). The usual goal of HOV lane restrictions is to provide overall congestion, and emissions reduction (Mallinckdet. p 1). However, in recent years, HOV lanes effectiveness in achieving these goals has come in to question ("HOV Lanes in California …" p1). When drivers use a highway, they do not pay the cost that they may be imposing on other drivers. Ideally, traffic should flow smoothly at the speed limit. However, as traffic increases, eventually the addition of one more vehicle will slow the flow and increase the travel time of other vehicles. At this point congestion (the negative externality) begins (Dahl p4). Sen Daniel Patrick Moynihan said," The train technology, offers great opportunities to reduce congestion in our surface and air transportation system" (Clough 9). Thus building high-speed trains would aid the problem of increasing congestion at America's airports and on the highways.
Vikings were originally from Scandinavia during the Viking Age between 750 and 1100. The historic Swedes were agriculturist that traveled and traded across the Atlantic specifically the Volga River. Being a “Viking” consisted of making a living by raiding isolated monasteries, not because of their religion but because of the valuable treasures and the monks having the inability to physically defend themselves. In todays Sweden, jobs such as a banker, teacher or engineer will not have the same “Viking Age” characteristics but will still carrying their intellectual navigation skills, integrity, strength and motivation. Also, in order for Sweden to succeed, they became neutral in World War 1 and II; later realizing that partaking in a war causes a decline in the population, and the economy. After, their self-removal in wars, Sweden began to progress in areas such as population growth, medical innovations and the sufficient outcome of cultivation. Notice, during the Viking Age, Vikings were independent, constantly raiding and trading however when the Swedes became involved with war and the infatuation of being in
