Personal Narrative: Driving While Driving

yelled as he pulled me up. Right as I looked into his deep blue eyes, I felt like I was in one of the cheesy romantic movies. It felt as though there was a spotlight shining on us, and we were the only ones in the world.

I hate driving. I have some trepidation about using that word but hate is due where it’s due. And I hate driving. It might have something to do with the fact that no matter how good a driver I am, my safety is still in the hands of some over-confident twenty-something who is texting, eating, and driving simultaneously. Or maybe it’s the environmentally driven guilt I have while pumping gas. Either way, I just really don’t like driving. But, it was driving that made me realize I felt like an ant. I was in the left turn lane on my way home from a hot afternoon of summer band. The little green traffic arrow lit up and, much like ants following the instruction of a pheromone, we swung our metallic bodies in the instructed direction of travel and

As I was completing my initial investigation I was returning items (driver’s licenses, registration, and insurance information) to the drivers. I approached Mitchell who was sitting in her vehicle. She appeared slumped over. I knocked on the window several times. There was no reply. I opened Mitchell’s vehicle door. She appeared unconscious. I shook her by the shoulder. She did not respond. I called for Goodwill Ambulance, who had just left with Feeney to return because I had an unresponsive person. I pulled Mitchell out of her vehicle and laid her on the street. I put a blanket that she had in her vehicle under her head. I shook her again, no response. I performed a sternum rub on Mitchell. She moved her head and asked “What’s going on?” I told her she passed out that she was in and accident. I told her to keep her eyes open and waited for Goodwill Ambulance to arrive back on scene. After the Paramedic treated Mitchell he informed me that he was unsure of her injury or what could have cause her

While on patrol, I was parked in the entrance to Mansard's plaza, facing E Ridge Rd, monitoring traffic. A female in a silver pickup truck pulled into the lot and flagged me down. The female pointed towards a white and maroon Corvette traveling east on Ridge Rd and stated that she believes the driver may be intoxicated. I immediately pulled onto Ridge Rd and got behind the Corvette. As I was following the Corvette east on Ridge, another vehicle with a male driver pulled up to the side of me and shouted out the window, "That guy is drunk". I then observed the Corvette to weave from the outside lane to the center lane, without signaling. The vehicle then abruptly swerved back into the outside lane, without signaling. The vehicle then came to

I exited my patrol vehicle and made contact with the driver of the vehicle Erica Manning 24 year old female, and the front seat passenger Brent Manning 30 year old male. I identified myself and asked Erica for her drivers license and proof of motor vehicle insurance. Erica removed her license from her billfold and handed it to me. I asked again for her motor vehicle insurance. Erica began looking around inside the cab of the vehicle. Erica began looking in the center console of the vehicle but was unable to locate the insurance information. Erica said she wasn't sure where the insurance is. Erica asked if I would accept the insurance in a digital form on her phone, but had difficulty finding words she wanted to use. Erica began using her phone trying to find her insurance information. Brent began looking into the glove box of the vehicle. While I was speaking with Erica and Brent I noticed they were both talking slowly with mumbled and slurred speech. They were also slow to respond to questions and performing tasks. Brent removed the vehicle

As I walked out of the courthouse and down the ramp, I looked at my mom in disappointment and embarrassment. Never wanting to return to that dreadful place, I slowly drug my feet back to the car. I wanted to curl up in a little ball and I didn 't want anyone else to know what I had done. Gaining my composure, I finally got into the car. I didn 't even want to hear what my mom had to say. My face was beat red and I was trying to hide my face in the palms of my hands because I knew what was about to come; she was going to start asking me questions, all of the questions I had been asking myself. Sure enough, after a short period of being in the

Nearly 1,000 crashes involving 16- and 17- year old drivers end up in fatalities while driving. You may find it interesting, but 16% of the under-20 age group was the highest percentage of distracted drivers. Answering texts takes away your attention for about five seconds. That is enough time to travel the length of a football field! People have tried many different tactics to help fight drowsiness behind the wheel. These include; opening the windows or turning on the air conditioning. Also, listening loudly to the radio or CDs and drinking caffeine. WELL, this is my story.

In the video titled, “Top 3 Sobriety Tests – number,” the officer pulled over a female that appeared to be driving erratically. As the officer noticed the female, she was swerving her vehicle and crossing into one lane into the next without having any regard for other traffic nor the officer which was trying to make a stop of her vehicle. When the female finally pulled over to the right making a stop, the officer approached her front passenger door in which he asked the female a few questions about her consuming alcohol before the vehicle starting rolling backwards towards the officer parked patrol vehicle. After the officer made several verbal attempts to get the female driver to put her vehicle into park, she finally done so after the officer pointed out that her vehicle was still not in park.

It's Friday, March 25 in the morning at about 7:00 am when my mom wakes all of us up to get ready to leave. On the way to Minnesota we were driving, but still in suamico, we stopped at a Kwik Trip gas station to fill up the tank. We all were thirsty so we got a water from the cooler in the back of the truck, but my brother Roy spilled his all over himself and on the seats.”Good thing it's just water.” My mom said. As we drove across the imaginary line splitting Wisconsin with Minnesota there was a big rock carved into the shape of Minnesota that said, “Welcome To Minnesota.” When we were on the highway we almost got into two major accidents, the first one was when we had an open lane ahead the driver to the right of us tried coming into our lane right next to us and put our left two tires

At 22:30 I recieved a 911 call about a traffic collision; reported that there's one male injured. I quickly flicked my lights and sirens on and responded to the scene code 3. I parked up behind the collision; making sure that there won't be another accident. I asked another unit on scene to block of the western side. I checked for any leakeages, and as there was none found; I took out my medical kit and rushed to help injured people, contacted FD while grabbing my kit. We then finished the treatment. I blocked off all lanes with cones rather with cars. Then I decided to interview all parties. I seperated them and started questioning them one by one. None of them were under influence. I concluded the interviews and decided to look for any visible

It has been a few weeks since you moved in, and I hope that you are settled in and enjoying your new house! From what it looks driving by the house, it looks like you have done quite a nice job with it. We are so happy to have you on our block and cannot wait to get to know you better. All the kids on the block, especially the older ones, seem to be quite enamored with your car. But in all honesty, who could blame them? It is a very pretty car. It’s funny because the car you drive currently was the car that I used to drive. Speaking of cars, as you have probably noticed, the kids love to play on the street or walk the dogs. The street has always been such a quiet place that it has become the “parent free” area. All the kids usually just hang
