Potholes And Obstacles

There are virtually no instances of instant potholes. Instead, they are almost always the result of past damages that the pavement has incurred. Specifically, water has penetrated beneath the pavement through cracks that were not repaired. The water has damaged the pavement's foundation, so the pavement begins to sag under its own weight. When the winter storm hit, the water froze and expanded, causing additional deterioration of the pavement. Once the trapped water thawed, the base suffered additional damage and more sagging occurred. The result was a pothole that seemed to appear overnight.

The faster you drive, the larger the force of impact your car has. This being said, if you were going 60 mph and you crashed into a object, the force of impact would be sudden and jerking. You would definitely feel the impact and are more likely to be injured. However, if you were going 10 mph and you crashed into an object, the force of impact would still be evident, but you would be less likely to be jerked roughly and injured. If you were in a small compact car going 45 mph and are hit by a semi, your injuries are likely to be catastrophic and the driver of the semi’s injuries are likely going to be minor.

You will likely end up getting hit by road debris when you have a gaping hole that is not fixed soon enough on your windshield. A lot of people often forget the reason why windshields are installed on their vehicles in the first place- and that is to protect the driver and the passengers from all those flying debris that are likely present when one is driving on the road. When the windshield is broken and you still drive the car around, you will likely end up getting hit by flying insects and other debris that may be quite dangerous especially when they hit you at such high

According to Firestone Complete Auto Care, potholes can puncture tires, cause wear on shocks and struts, and also damage your engine. I have been a key witness to these effects since I have been in Houston, and it is beginning to get costly and upsetting. When I went to National Tire and Battery to get an estimate on how much it would cost to get my shocks, struts, and alignment fixed the mechanic said it would cost around 2,000 dollars to repair the damages. To be honest, I don’t have 2,000 dollars laying around to get my car fixed and because of this my mother had to drive all the way from Fort Worth, Texas to bring me their car while mines is being fixed. With doing this, my parents and I are in a financial bond right now and are struggling to get around comfortably and efficiently. Therefore, the pothole crisis plays a key role in where my money is going to and how much I am spending due to

For a crash to be catastrophic different factors need to be applied. The first is kinetic energy, if two cars crashed and they both were going at high speeds their kinetic energy would be very high causing the accident to be catastrophic. Also if the drivers were not wearing any seatbelts there would be no inertia stopping them. The last law is gravity, if a small car was driving at normal speed and crashed against another car the injury would be minor because the kinetic energy is not high and the masses either.

Punctures: When you look at a tire and touch it, they feel as though they are durable and nothing can damage them. Tires are strong, but they may not always be able to resist damage, like punctures. There's tree branches, metal and other debris

Sinkholes are pits in the ground that form where water gathers with no drainage. The water weakens the ground under the surface and any weight on the affected area will collapse the ground.

Ignorance: Ignorance causes many collisions each year because people don’t care about anyone but themselves and then they tailgate and do many other dangerous things just to get where they want when they want. I have seen many close calls on the way to and from my cottage where people have almost been nailed by oncoming cars. The easiest way for this type of collision to

Traffic accidents occur mainly at intersections. There are accidents seen along a street, but the majority are on intersections due to people beating the red light, drunk

The condition of our roads the past couple summers has been pretty poor. Many of the main streets are filled with large pot holes and loose

A problem that needs to be addressed now is terrorism. Specifically, over the last few years a terrorist group known as ISIS has claimed responsibility for many terror attacks all over the United States. They are also responsible for some more overseas. There have been a few all over the country of

I thing that the most pressing issue for our enviornment in North Americe, is the pollution of our air and water. I believe this is the biggest issue because it effects everyone, and everyone should care. Some people may not care how many trees we cut down, or the fact that their fruits and veggitables are all geneticly modified and are coverd in pestisides. And if they dont care about our air and water now, they deffinately will when it staarts to make them sick, or they have to wear and face mask covering their mouth and nose in order to breathe outside without getting completed contaminated. Or when they start drinking unfiltered water, and chugging down loads of floride, and start to notice themselvees getting less healthy. I believe that this is an increasing issue as more, and more factories are being built, more cars are

Question- Identify one area of need, and describe how you would address this need in a community setting. Be as specific as

Sinkholes are holes in the ground that form when water erodes an underlying rock layer. According to the United States Geological Survey, about 20 percent of U.S. land is susceptible to sinkholes. The most damage from sinkholes tends to occur in Florida, Texas, Alabama, Missouri, Kentucky, Tennessee, and Pennsylvania. Sinkholes are particularly common in these areas due to the susceptibility of the land. Certain rocks, known as evaporites (salt, gypsum, and anhydrite) and carbonates (limestone and dolomite) dissolve in water and are most present in the southeastern coast of the United States.

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
