Stop The Wrecks Analysis

III. Credibility- I found these statistics along with other information on drivinglaws.org and various other sites.

Results: As we are able to gather from both of these graph which came from U.S. Department of Transportation. We are currently slightly down on DUI’s, but the part that I have found to be even more shocking in a good way that fatalities not involving alcohol has drop almost 10,000. While this graph only shows the amount of crashes it does not put it in as detailed as the next graph does.

The number of souls in this country is currently reckoned at just under three hundred million (American FactFinder 1). Of these are calculated to be approximately two hundred million licensed drivers (Licensed Drivers – Our Nation’s Highways – 2000 1); from which number I subtract twenty-five million who already drive while intoxicated (MADD Online 1). This being granted, there remains one hundred seventy-five million drivers who do not currently drive while intoxicated. There remains approximately one hundred seventy-five million drivers, their families, friends, and peers who will be

Background and Audience Relevance: According to National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, in 2015, about thirty-five hundred people were killed, and four hundred thousand were injured in car crashes.

These statistics and the articles written, will expose all drivers to think twice. If one just so happens to be a passenger, speak up when felt uncomfortable. Majority of us feel that while we are intoxicated, or distracted, things will be fine, but we don’t necessarily think of the consequences. Many drivers find it hard to resist responding to a text message and don’t realize how long their eyes are off the road. It is easy to get behind a wheel while intoxicated and it is easy to text and drive. I think learning more about drinking while driving and becoming a distracted driver is a great opportunity to share with drivers and open their minds. I hope to find evidence that will help me do exactly

It was important for this artifact to target mostly young adults because they are new drivers who think the world is theirs now, but it was also important because there is a popular commonplace amongst teens where they think they’re invincible and that nothing bad could ever happen to them. This video, as heart wrenching and tear-jerking as it is, proves a point. No one is exempt from being hurt, or even killed, when it comes to distracted driving, and the four areas of Stasis Theory that I discussed persuaded me, and hopefully other audience members as well, that it can

In 2013, 10,076 people were killed in drunk driving incidents. Out of those people, 65% (6,515) were drivers, 27% (2,724) were passengers, and 8% (837) were non-passengers (“Drunk Driving Statistics”). Over half of those fatalities (67.1%) involved blood alcohol levels over .15% (“Drunk Driving Statistics”). The legal blood-alcohol content is .08%. Drunk driving caused 31% of deaths in car crashes in 2013 (“Drunk Driving Statistics”). In 2012, 402 people were killed by alcohol impairment in North Carolina (“Drunk Driving Statistics”). These numbers, though they seem astonishing, have been cut in half since 1991 (“Drunk Driving Statistics”). Even though the number of fatalities has been lowered, that number is not low enough. Most drunk drivers are repeat offenders. Lives are being taken because of the careless attitude of the drunk drivers. Drunk driving is selfish; those who commit this crime do not think about the extreme consequences of their actions. In North America it is estimated that 1-5 drivers has been drinking and 1 in 10 is legally impaired on any Friday or Saturday night (Root). Many groups, including MADD (Mothers Against Drunk Driving), are fighting to stop drunk driving. Unfortunately, drunk driving cannot be stopped. People will always commit this heinous crime. The numbers may go down, but unfortunately there will always be a number. The only way to continually decrease the amount of lives lost is to increase punishments for drunk driving.

Dying is a very sad part of life and no one likes it. It's even sadder when it's a death that can be easily avoided. Injury-related are almost always of the highly preventable type with much of it being due to carelessness or not being conscious of the things that a person ingests or their surroundings.One of the top non-disease killers is death from automotive accidents. In a statistical gathering by the CDC, deaths from automotive accidents were the leading non-disease killers from ages 5-24 and the second one in ages 25-65+. Georgia has had an increasing rate of injury-related deaths, with traffic deaths being the most prominent. A big indicator to me was the signs where they post information on traffic and accidents ahead. The signs

In a report done by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, it was found that there was a 5.6% increase in the number of lives lost, on the roads, last year (Spector, U.S Traffic Fatalities Rose 5.6% in 2016, Wall Street Journal). This brings up a recurring theme of reckless driving in the US. As described in the 1920s based book The Great Gatsby, and in the news recently, we’ve used cars recklessly. In both the news currently, and in The Great Gatsby, there have been examples of Americans being reckless drivers.

A girl by the name of McKay was out at a bar late one night. She had way too much to drink and was not thinking straight. McKay made the bad decision of stepping into her car at 12:30 a.m. She then crossed a highway when she smashed into another car, with her speed set at 105 km/hr. In that moment, driving impaired cost the life of a husband, a wife, a five-year-old daughter, and two-year-old son (Mcadam, 2016). Unfortunately, this is not the first time people were killed from drunk driving, and it is certainly not the last unless there are harsher consequences. It is said that 2016 might go down as the worst year for drunk driving deaths. There are approximately twenty-eight people who are killed from drunk driving each day (Brennan, 2016). Drunk drivers deserve worse punishments because they bring serious danger to cities all around the world.

Over recent decades, driving has almost become a necessity to many young adults since some jobs require a farther commute and colleges are not located in every town. Driving is a privilege and many people neglect this privilege by developing dangerous driving habits. Some of these include speeding, distracted driving, road rage and driving under the influence. In today's age people live a very fast paced, rushed lifestyle. Speeding is becoming a problem because people are impatient. Speeding decreases your reaction time for avoiding collisions and is becoming a profitable scheme for law enforcement through speed traps. I speed all the time and realize the dangers of doing so. I have not been in a collision yet or been pulled over by a police officer because they could not keep

A lot of people do not take drinking and driving serious because they take they can make it home safe, but really they either get in wrecks or pulled over before ever making it home. “In 1996 there were 17,126 alcohol-related traffic fatalities, representing 41% of all traffic fatalities that year. In addition, more than 321,000 persons were injured in crashes where police reported the presence of alcohol involvement.¨ ()

There are three types of drivers in this world: competent, overcautious, and reckless. After driving for many years in frustrating rush hour traffic, one might find there are three types of drivers, competent drivers who keep the flow going, over cautious drivers who cause slow and backed up traffic, and reckless drivers who weave in and out of traffic causing one near death experience after another. Trying to sort out what type of driver a person might be is an extremely challenging task. In a person's own mind, they think they are the aggressive type of driver, or the cautious type, but no one will ever admit that they are reckless kind. In most cases they’re too oblivious to these classifications and all other

Texas traffic accidents leads the nation in car deaths. In some ways, the large number of crashes is to be expected; Texas is a very large state. However, the Texas death rate of 1.44 deaths per hundred million miles travelled also exceeds the national average of 1.28 deaths per hundred million miles travelled. In this proposal, I will provide accurate statistics of last year’s records and then provide a possible solution to reduce fatalities.
