Car companies can show the world they care about unfortunate back over accidents by willingly adding rear view cameras to all cars sold. If all car manufactures did this, they will be showing their consumers that they are aware that there is a major issue of children and the elderly getting injured by these preventable accidents as well as show everyone they are willing to do whatever they can to prevent these types of accidents from happening further. If car companies are able to set their greed aside and look at the number of children’s lives that could be saved if all vehicles were required to have rear view cameras come standard in them it would create a higher demand for all vehicles as well as show the world that these companies care more about preventing accidental tragedies rather than making a profit. It’s very important and should soon become a basic requirement for all cars in the United States to have back up cameras.
Most car related accidents that happen directly to children under the age of 5 are known as back over accidents. A back over sounds pretty self explanatory, and we all assume people would make sure they always looked in their rear view mirrors before reversing however; it only takes a second for a child to crawl behind a car into a driver’s blatant blind spot. Back over accidents are when a car literally drives over a person as it is reversing. “1,200 children under 15 who were killed since 2000 in non-traffic motor vehicle accidents in the
red-light safety cameras increased 135%.” (“Red-Light Running Dangers”) When the conversation of whether to have red light cameras, or not to have red light cameras arises, human fatalities should without a doubt be a top consideration. Especially when a study performed during 2011 by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety found that red light cameras had lowered
Death among U.S. teens is led by vehicle crashes. In the year of 2013, around 2,163 teens were killed between the ages of 16-10 in the United States. Around 243,243 were treated in emergency departments for injuries that they suffered in motor vehicle accidents. Around 75% of teen drivers suffer in these accidents due to 3 major mistakes. Those major mistakes include a lack of scanning the road, distractions in the vehicle, and also going to fast for the conditions of the road.
One of the main reasons people complain about car repair companies is that what they thought would be a very cheap repair ends up costing much more than advertised, or taking longer than expected. In most cases, this can be avoided by choosing the right car repair company and ensuring that all the work done is documented and agreed before anything is done to your car.
(Now that we have talked about your risk of an accident and how it takes your attention off the road now let us talk about it being the leading cause of death in kids between the ages 15-19.)
Shari Roan in “Should the driving age be raised” talks about the controversial issue all American families face when it comes to teens driving and the safety of others. She states that in a nationwide analysis the number of fatal crashes between the ages 16 and 17 year old drivers have fallen and the number of fatal crashes between the ages of 18 and 19 year old drivers have risen by almost the same amount. She states that the combination of immaturity and inexperience makes teen drivers particularly vulnerable to motor vehicle accidents. She also explains that car crashes are the leading cause of death among teens resulting in 4,054 fatalities in 2008 according to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety in Arlington Va.
Motor vehicle crashes are identified as the leading cause of death in children under 19 years of age across the United States (Sauber-Schatz, West, & Bergen, 2014). Due to the large number of child deaths that occur each year, education regarding the proper use of child passenger safety seats must be provided to families. According to Basco, Hletko, West, and Darden (2009), although death and injury caused by motor vehicle accidents are deemed accidental, they are
Firstly, accidents happen to everyone. People believe that the reason younger teens are more likely to experience a car accident or wreck is that they have the least experience. That is not always the case. If the age is moved to 18, for example, 18 year-olds are still just as inexperienced as the 16 year-olds. Teens who have little practical experience of driving in the real world will be just as dangerous at any age. Until they have received practice, these drivers are potentially threatening. Driving is a skill that has to be learned. One must develop this skill through experience.
According to the article “Child Vehicular Stroke Fact Sheet” from KidsAndCars.org, “The average number of U.S. child vehicular heat stroke deaths is 37 per year.” That is one death of a child every nine days. Although, some individuals may or may not have unintentionally left their children in the car. A majority of parents that left their child in the vehicle unknowingly did it. However, there is a small percentage of parents that knowingly left their child unattended in the vehicle. In some cases, the child even entered the vehicle on their own without the parent or caregiver noticing in time. Statistics of child vehicular heat stroke deaths reveal that 54.25% of parents unknowingly left their child in the vehicle, 11.58% knowingly left their child in the vehicle, and 33.58% of the children entered the vehicle by themselves without parents or caregivers noticing in a reasonable amount of time (Child Vehicular Heat Stroke). Some individuals, usually non-parents, believe that it is completely absurd to forget a child is in the vehicle. However, the most dangerous mistake a parent or caregiver can make is to think leaving a child alone in a vehicle could never happen to them or their family (Child Vehicular Heat Stroke). A heat stroke can be extremely lethal to young children if it is not recognized and treated in time.
In this case, the distractions resulted in serious injuries and death for the four teens. “The four teens involved in the accident was 17-year-old Jade Robinson and her 19-year-old sister, Brianna Robinson, who both died at the scene. Along with 18-year-old Brittanie Johnson, who died at a Corpus Christi hospital; and the car's driver, 18-year-old Shelby Coleman, was hospitalized in critical condition” (“The wreck in South Texas”). These type accidents can be hazardous to both the driver and the passengers in the car and potentially even for others on the
Installing a dashboard cam can prevent your insurance premiums from rising. Drivers have started using the video from these cameras as an independent witness to prove who is at fault after accidents. You will now have rock solid evidence of any collision or other incident should you
I.Attention getter:-Tragic accidents involving teenagers are very common in United States, According to cdc.gov in 2011, about 2,650 teens in the United States aged 16–19 were killed which amounts the rate of crashes for 16-year-old drivers to be10 times the rate for older drivers.
When school is in session, children are exposed to traffic hazards when they cross streets in front of their schools, when getting on and off buses, and while walking along neighborhood roads. Unfortunately, this exposure causes fatalities every year by motorists who were distracted, intoxicated, negligent, or failed to observe school zone or school bus laws. Common ways in which these fatalities happen include:
It’s a dark rainy night. You and your family are coming home from a late night family party. As a car is coming through an intersection another car cut in front of it. The driver decides to hit the brakes so you can avoid the car, but as he presses the brakes, the car loses control on the slick wet road. He is not able to gain control and at that point he has endangered the lives of himself and many others on the road. This is just one example of the many types of things that occur in our streets everyday. All that would have been needed to avoid this situation would have been a traction control system in his car, which would have detected that the car was skidding and would have applied the brakes to
Car accidents can happen to drivers anytime, anywhere. "According to the National Safety Council, which stated that more than 2.5 million collisions back every year, making it the most common type of car accidents, it is also known that the accident rear end as incidents of injury, because the nature of the collision leads often in whiplash injury the driver in the car in front and about 20% of people who participated in a rear collision injury symptoms of this kind. ", (NHTSA, auto-accident-resource.com). Among the car accidents, the teenage group is the only age group who is number of deaths is increasing instead of decreasing. Also, all the people are exposed to risk and actually every one of them has got car
1) The buyer decision process of traditional Porsche customers relies on the motivations that determine these people to select this brand.
