    drivers day they can say that they have been caught up in one of the following types of driver situations. My favorite kind of driver and the type that aggravates me the most are the slow elderly type.

    systems in Beijing. Wang et al. (2008) established a model based on VSP and speed, which provided insight that how different levels of cruise speed and acceleration affect vehicle fuel consumption. The model prediction shows that vehicle fuel consumption per unit distance is optimum at speeds between 50 and 70 km/h which is similar to the observed data from PEMS. This is evident in the literature that in order to improve both the applicability and accuracy of the existing emission models instantaneous vehicle

    While each vehicle reaches its optimal fuel economy at a different speed (or range of speeds), gas mileage usually decreases rapidly at speeds above 50 mph. You can assume that each 5 mph you drive over 50 mph is like paying an additional $0.24 per gallon for gas. Sensible driving is also safer for you and others, so you may save more than gas money. $150 is the average speeding ticket in the U.S. And if speeding 80 or higher the fine can be even more, and may have had to appear before a judge

    end of my 12 hour shift, at Romoland Market. It was a busy and long day. Customers kept on coming in and out consistently. The lines was backed up all the way by the coolers. No time to take a 15 minute break. Finally, closing time was around the corner, and I was eager to get home to my bed. Excited to go home, I jumped into my 1996 Kia Sephia. I got to the 74 East Highway, which was a two lane freeway. Everything was going well as usual. Cars were passing me by at 60 miles per hour. Then, I felt

    Derek Castle I jumped the railroad tracks on Jefferson Street and exceeded the speed limit. I know that I made a mistake, a big mistake that could have hurt me and others, but thankfully that wasn’t the case. I know what I did was dumb and irresponsible and it will not happen again. You need to always wear a seatbelt. You should take your time while crossing railroads, you should only go the speed limit if not slower, when coming to a stop sign, make a complete stop and look all around you

    There are speed limits for a reason. It is to keep people safe so that everyone can travel the roads safely. Without speed limits there would be chaos everywhere. There would be more wrecks and more fatalities with speed limits not enforced. The roads wouldn't be safe to drive for anyone especially the elderly and new drivers. Currently speed zones are posted in almost every area we drive from school zones to interstates. School zone speed limits are posted slower so that students can cross

    Introduction: Every year approximately 1.25 million people die due to car collisions worldwide (WHO, 2015). Of these deaths, speeding is the greatest contributing factor in Australia (Transport for NSW, 2015). A greater speed increases both the chances of a crash occurring and the severity of the crash. Intelligent speed adaption (ISA) is a newly designed technology that affects many social and environmental areas. This leads to question whether ISA should be compulsory in all new cars. How it
