Driving And Driving : The Dangers Of Driving

The first time driving without a license was when I was 15 years old. It was a Wednesday around two o’clock in the afternoon. I was walking toward my aunt’s white Toyota truck. It was during the summer of 2010 and I was helping my father at his recycling company. Everyday,

I sat on the driver’s seat nervously and took a deep breath. It was a hot Saturday afternoon; the sun was starting to fall and my mom and I were at the Department of Public Safety practicing for my driver’s test. My mom was sitting on the passenger’s seat and reckoned, “Aggie, you will be fine” as I finished parallel parking. This was probably the hundredth time we had practiced and every single one had different outcomes.

I got out of the car to see how far I was from the curb and boy was I off. “I’m never going to get my license” I sulked as I got back into the car to try again.

Finally we heard the clanging of the garage door opening. My dad and I were hustling out of the door and into the car. We tore down the street faster than we ever had. The dashboard read 6:20pm. We turned on to Shawnee Mission Parkway. The traffic had not gotten bad yet. My dad said ‘’I hope we get there in time’’. We turned

The parents of a popular 17-year-old who died on the first day of school are urging teen drivers to resist distracted driving after police confirmed Deianerah L. was texting when she crashed into the back of a school bus. Deianerah died shortly after the crash near Byron. It was the first and last day of her senior year. She crashed into the back of a bus. Ethan Hinton, 7, was exiting the bus at the time of the crash, and was knocked down by the impact, but the student was not seriously injured. "I got a terrible bruise, and she didn't make it," Hinton told FOX 9 News (Capacio and Beno). Evidence is growing in support of banning cell phones while driving.

Have you ever been put in a situation where you were behind the wheel influenced by alcohol or even been in a car with someone that was intoxicated? If you answered yes and nothing happened while you were under the influence you are very lucky you did not cause an accident or even worse caused an accident that ended it up ending someone’s life just because you made a very poor decision to drink and drive. Did you know that in 2015, 10,265 people died in alcohol-impaired driving crashes, accounting for nearly one third (29%) of all traffic-related deaths in the united states. Of the 1, 1,132 traffic deaths among children ages 0 to 14 in 2015, 209 (16%) involved an alcohol- impaired driver. So, as you can see driving under the influence is a very big problem in the united states. My goal on this essay is to try to make you think twice before you make a decision that will change your life. I will be assessing three different peer reviewed articles that will be related to drinking and driving to show you some of the statistical fact while also talking about the problem in hand.

In today’s world, many drivers have become complacent in the fact that the vehicle in which they are operating can be a deadly weapon. A two-ton hunk of metal flying down the freeway at speeds excess of seventy miles an hour carries much potential for catastrophe.

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. Christina is a hazardous driver due the number of tickets, accidents, and problems she has caused on the road. She is very distracted by a number of things such as, phone usage, music, and food. Christina’s lack of experience plays a crucial part in her dangerous driving. She does not practice the rules of the road; therefore, she causes accidents.

I think drinking and driving is terrible because of how many accidents there are and because there are so many people getting away with drinking and driving these days. Driving while under the influence is bad because there are so many wrecks while driving drunk.

Impaired driving is when a teen/adult is driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs. It's not safe to drive when you are under the influence of drugs or alcohol. If you drive when you're drunk or high because you can cause wrecks or kill someone or run into something and damage your car. Driving can be hard enough being sober, so it’s even harder to drive impaired. In 2015, 10,265 people died in alcohol impaired driving crashes, and they continue to happen everyday. When you're impaired, everything is blurry or slowed down and your brain works differently and it’s a lot harder to do things. Somethings that are harder to do are like walking and driving and talking and just normal things. But when our group made a game to use when we had

Driving become one the most dangerous activities we do on a daily basis. We all play apart in creating a more hazardous environment for drivers and passengers, either by choosing to answer that text message, or a call, or driving under the influence of alcohol. So why do we risk it? Why do we risk our lives and other human lives while driving? There are things out of our control that can cause accidents, such as weather, or car problems. Paying attention while driving is a key factor of getting home safe. Anyone who drives a vehicle knows that it needs all of your attentions and reflexes. It is easy to get distracted while driving like, daydreaming, a billboard, or just a view can get our eyes off the road for a second and that could cause an accident. Both driving under the influence of alcohol and using a hand held device can causes distraction and impaired driving that can result in following too closely, not being able to brake on time or weaving into oncoming traffic. Going out with some coworkers after work for a drink can turn deadly. Checking a text message from a love can cause a live. We put more lives in danger while distracting ourselves with technology, so why do we make the bad decisions of doing that. Is a hand held device more dangerous than driving under the influence?

Today a lot of people have bad driving habits. There is no need to go far to detect individuals driving with poor driving skills and dangerous techniques. Too many men and women have bad driving habits, and they can be seen almost anywhere, especially on highways. There are lot a different dangerous habits that affect people every day’s lives in different ways.

     In responding , one can say that teenagers always complain about the ¡§grown up¡¨ world and its rules. Teens find it rather hard to be part of the grown up worl until they have the licence to go out on their own. Basically, the whole concept of graduated licencing is not so complicated. There are only a few changes: 1) There must be a fully licensed driver beside you with at least four years of driving experience in the G1 level. 2) There is a year waiting period between the G1 level and G2 level. 3) New drivers may only drive in cities, not on highways, and only during daytime hours. Even though there is a 1 month waiting period between G1 level and G2 level, it can be shortened to 8 months by taking a driver¡¦s insurance training course. During this course, the driver will learn more about techniques on driving, and it will cost less when getting car insurance later on.

The first time I drove a true car was two years ago. I begged my friend so many time to teach me how to drive. Fortunately, my roommate his left his car to me when I came to ASU. Every day when I got out of class, I would drive the car around Tempe. But every thing got change after that Friday. It became a nightmare for me.

As a teen driver, I have always been aware of my surroundings when I am behind the wheel. I know not to text and drive, as it can result in fatal accidents. Even though everyone knows the consequences of distracted driving, we may not realize how bad it can be until we are involved in a car accident ourselves. Needless to say, cars are not the only things to get in accidents; Children are also at risk when drivers come speeding through neighborhoods. It is very common to see signs that say “children at play” when you are driving throughout the neighborhood. Each year, thousands of children are involved in car accidents that can result in child fatalities. A French institute for road safety, Direction De La Securite Et De La Circulation Routiere, that translates to Direction of Security and Road Traffic, created an ad that pictures a little girl who was hit by a distracted driver. This is intended to prevent car accidents and to make drivers aware of slowing down in areas where kids could be playing.
