Distracted drivers are drivers that do not put their full concentration on driving. Most people use their phones while driving.

Many accidents are blamed on distracted drivers and most of the distraction is caused by cell phone usage. However, some opponents feel that creating a law against cell phone use diminish their personal rights.

Most people think of scoring points as a good thing and in many cases, it is. Unfortunately, this is not the case with your driver's license. Driving records are essentially trascripts of your driving behavior.

As we age, we tend to slow in terms of our response time. In addition, hearing and vision may diminish, and muscle strength and flexibility often decrease. Concentrating on a task may become more difficult, and medications taken by a person can interfere with the ability to drive. We need to keep this in mind at all times and determine whether our driving abilities remain up to speed.
In most cases, the fire department that is responsible for the installation and looking over of traffic signals is also responsible for the fixing equipment that is installed at intersections, however the fire department may be responsible for testing and reporting any system malfunctions. Emergency vehicle drivers should be required to follow very specific procedures when systems are in use. The driver must not exceed a speed that will trigger the system to turn on and make the traffic signals turn green before the emergency vehicle arrives at the intersection. Once the light becomes green, if the path is clear, the emergency vehicle should go through the intersection at the speed limit or slower, although the driver must always be prepared for the unpredictable actions of other drivers. The emergency vehicle driver must also be prepared to stop if the system does not function properly. The driver must not approach an intersection while going too fast to stop because if the light turns green for the other side and the cars move then they can get in an accident (the second leading cause of death for firefighters). A very dangerous crash can happen when two fire service veichles approach an intersection at the same time from different directions. Fatal crashes between emergency vehicles have happened in these circumstances. All traffic signal systems are designed so that one vehicle will have full control of the intersection, the first signal from the first truck will be accepted and the signal from the other will be rejected. If a system fails to provide a green signal as a fire service vehicle approaches, the driver must assume that another emergency vehicle will be coming through the intersection and the other vehicle has the green light. Some systems provide special lights at the intersection to advise an approaching
My best friend, Christina is a very dangerous driver due to her lack of experience, safety, and distractions. She is going to Florida State University next year. Everyone in my town is worried for her, because she is not the best driver. We live in small community in Pennsylvania with one main road, and everyone knows about Christina’s driving skills.

The air blowing through my hair, I feel free as can be. The radio station blaring to music and I sing along to the songs. Sometimes, these are the best feelings I have. I can leave work or school having the most terrible day but when I step foot in my car alone, I feel at ease for those fifteen minutes. When I get behind the wheel of my little white car and sit in my all black interior buckle my seatbelt and start driving I feel as if I am driving away from reality and all my problems. I either have two reasons for driving one, to get from point A to point B two, to clear my mind and to relax.
