The use of seatbelts by passengers and drivers while traveling is still a somewhat controversial issue. As for me, I am absolutely convinced that the non-use of seatbelts by these road users should be illegal.

First of all, not wearing seatbelts should be prohibited everywhere because wearing a seatbelt reduces the risk of death when in a car crash by 45% and reduces the risk of serious injury by 50%. According to statistics, the death toll worldwide in 2017 from not wearing a seatbelt is 37,133. Of these wear motor vehicle crashes, 47% were not wearing seatbelts. Many people have lost their friends and family members from not wearing their seatbelts. In addition, statistics showed that seatbelts saved 14,955 lives in 2017, and this number could have increased by 2,549 if they had been worn.

The fact that seatbelts help save lives to a large extent can be explained by Newton’s first law. Mostly, this is because they keep you stuck to your seat instead of flying out in a crash. For example, if a car is going at 90 km per hour, then the persons inside the car are also going at 90 km per hour. If the car crashes, the car’s speed is slowed down, but the people inside the car are still going at 90 km per hour. If they aren’t wearing a seatbelt, then they can be flung out of the car at the speed of 90 km per hour. The impact that the people in the car can have on the steering wheel, windshield, etc. can kill them. This is because there is a force stopping the car, but there’s no force stopping the person from flying out. This is why wearing seatbelts is important as they will absorb all the force from the person in the crash.

Pushing the idea that it’s on the driver to make sure that everyone in the car is safe is important. The driver should make sure that everyone in the car is wearing a seatbelt. This is because if anyone in the car is seriously injured or even dead, the driver will be punished and could possibly get jail time. The driver has to make sure that every possible safety measure is ensured for everyone to have the safest possible trip. If not, they will be the ones that will get demerit points, their license suspended, or even jail time. But if it was illegal not to use seatbelts, this could be avoided.

To conclude my essay, I believe it would be much safer if we had a law that it was illegal to not wear a seatbelt. It would be safer in many ways such as it would save many lives and reduce the risk of serious injuries. We have to move toward a point where there are zero crashes on the road. Putting on a seatbelt only takes a few seconds, but those few seconds can save lives. Cars can be safe if we use them properly, this includes maintaining them, using your mirrors, and most importantly, wearing a seatbelt.

Since the beginning of time, men have felt superior thanks to logic and reason. It has been part of the science of the human from unmemorable times. Our ancestors have been evolving; consequently, learning from their mistakes. Teaching future generations how to be prepared for the worst, yet nothing can prepare you for a sudden decision. Rapid moments in which nothing…not even in milliseconds can stop. An experience that changed my life was the car accident because made me experience a lesson.

Particularly, I woke up on a Saturday at my home feeling fantastic. Saw a little bit of tv, got out of bed, wash, and change to help Mom with housework. After helping my mom with the housework in the morning; I got a little bit tired. Helped my dad afterward with the electric stuff in the house, with car checking, and with the list for that day. That list of the day was to go to the barber, discuss the carnival situation as a family and prepare the grocery list. We prepared to go to cut my brother’s and my hair with Dad. My mother and brother were in the same predicament as going to the carnival in Nuevo Laredo, but my father and I were not in that predicament.

With this in mind, we got back and forth with the discussion speaking only the three of us except my mother in the car. When suddenly a truck from the opposite axis of the cross lane passes a red light with the consequence of hitting our car. The three of us knew that we were on a green light favoring us, yet nobody knew what to do. I saw how the time stopped in milliseconds, yet when the time restarted, we felt only fear and hits on the body. The hit was so strong that we changed lanes to one of the trucks, and the truck changed lanes to the one we were on. My dad got a direct hit from the truck in the lungs and legs. I got hit multiple times in the knees and head. Rapidly my dad said that he could not breathe. Myself scared, with a lot of adrenaline, confused, helpless, and angry, knowing that I got hit, but nothing hurt me. I helped my dad get out of the car; with one hand got him out. Put him on the floor on the sidewalk, and help him drink water.

Conversely, at that time the team of firefighters from Mexico come but did nothing with respect to the crash. I saw smoke in front of our car and told the firefighters, but they said that needed the life pincers to act. Angry at the situation I grabbed the car hood knowing that was compressed between the same metals of the car, and knowing that might get an electric shock from it I broke the whole thing. Next thing I knew the firefighters did their job of unplugging anything that might burn or get an electric shock. Dad went aside from us, but we did go to the Hospital with the surprise that I got a cervical sprain, some 1st degree burns in my knees and some other traumatic hits in my head. We returned home just to relax, yet trying not to think about the whole thing. Next time I will know what to do.

Eventually, This is an experience that changed my life. A simple car accident that made me experience a valuable lesson. Anybody can help in sudden situations, yet not everybody is prepared for what is going to happen. Nothing gets lost if a soul helps another. Depending on the situation may be nobody will be able to help. If people become more social civilization will change at a positive rate of change.

The short story “Test” is a double plot structure in two different time zones and, two different states of mind, it is merely somewhat of an illusion. The two scenarios include one that Robert experiences under hypnosis, and one within the centre of the driver test. It is a noteworthy story with plenty of dilemmas, and unexpected situations. It brings us vital messages about life, values, and our loved ones. The story has three key points that will be further analyzed throughout this paper. Reality is nothing more than a simulation of symbols that occur within a person’s mind and from those symbols a person can make decisions, and have control over ones’ life.

The story starts out smoothly with a mother and son driving together and enjoying quality time. Robert and his mother must have a good relationship symbolized by “Her mouth was curved in a quiet smile” (Thomas 1). The author shows us that Robert’s mother is calm and happy, trusting in her son’s ability to drive the car safely. Another symbol in the story describes the atmosphere during the morning drive. “She watched the trees, and the fields slip by on her side of the pike” (Thomas 1). “The sun was bright, but not glaring, and the air smelled fresh and clean” (Thomas 1). Then an abrupt change takes place and their situation changes in the blink of an eye. “Up ahead he saw a great truck, spouting a geyser of smoke as it sped along the turnpike. Behind it, not passing it, was a long blue convertible, content to drive in the wake of the truck. Robert Proctor noted the arrangement and filed it in the back of his mind” (Thomas 1). It is immediately understood that something is going to happen regarding these two cars that Robert is noticing. Afterwards, an accident occurs, and the main character remains in control.

Robert is the protagonist of the story who is undergoing a test to earn his driver’s licence. The whole test is imaginary and under the illusion of a complicated hypnosis. He seems to be completely incognizant of reality, but he manages to stay in control of his situation. The story begins with Robert driving his car on the turnpike with his mother. Robert and his mother are enjoying the pleasant morning while watching the scenic view of sunshine and trees pass along them on the road. After driving for about two hours, he notices two vehicles driving in front of him – a truck and a blue convertible following the truck. He then decides to pass the blue convertible. He passes the convertible without a problem. Suddenly, without warning, the blue convertible swings out from behind Robert, and hits the front of his vehicle. At this point, Roberts’ car is facing oncoming traffic. He sees another car with a driver, and a small child sleeping in the back, coming straight towards him. There is a crash, and Robert sees white light. During the time of the accident he constantly hears the screaming of his mother. Although this accident is happening before his eyes, Robert maintains calm throughout the entire experience, but internally he is frightened. He does not show any signs of panic. He is fully attentive to the situation and acts with grace, given the circumstances. Robert shows that he is confident and daring, as most people would be frozen in such a situation; however, he attempts to continue driving and move his vehicle away from this dangerous situation. Robert maintains control, although continues to think about the sleeping child in the car that hit him.

The sleeping girl is a very important part in this short story. The sleeping girl is the passenger within the car that crashes head-on into Robert’s hypothetical car. Robert sees the faces of the two people in the oncoming car. He sees fear on the face of the driver, and innocence and trust on the face of the sleeping girl. “It was not the fear in the man that reached into Robert Proctor; it was the trusting helplessness in the face of the sleeping girl” (Thomas 2). Robert is upset about everyone involved in the accident, but the sleeping girl is what stuck in his head because she did not know what was happening, and was just peacefully sleeping. When Robert awakens from his hypnosis he is relieved that the sleeping child (that would have died from the crash) was only a simulation. Externally Robert responds logically when he awakens and is relieved to see that the sleeping girl was not real, and she did not die; however, internally he reacts emotionally and has trouble unthinking the simulation he just experienced. “Though he saw the man clearly, he seemed to see the faint face of the sleeping girl in front of him” (Thomas 3). Thomas, the author, conveys these feelings to the reader with these words, showing that Robert has trouble separating reality from simulation.

Logically the reader is aware that the sleeping girl’s trust must be placed within the driver of her car, because she doesn’t know Robert and is unaware of his individual presence. Her trust isn’t personal to Robert, but she does trust Robert as if he were any driver following the safety of driving. The act of sleeping in an exceedingly moving vehicle places trust within the knowledge that most cars do not get in accidents, and that no one goes off on a drive thinking they might die. Safety on a highway requires two things: cooperative discipline and trust. The sleeping girl symbolizes this communal trust that each one person on the road places on one another. Robert is moved by her trust because his car—driving down the inaccurate side of the highway after spinning out of control—is currently violating that trust and might cause her death.

The short story is extremely intertwined between reality and imagination. The story begins with a simulation of Robert driving down a highway, dropping the reader into what looks like real life. The author describes this simulation with such details about sounds, smells, and emotions that it appears to be reality—to the protagonist, and even to the reader. The reader doesn’t realize that this is a simulation, until Robert realizes. Robert wants to obtain his license, but he essentially fails at doing that. Once he realizes the simulation was not real, he is accepting the responsibility that an accident might occur while driving. This shocks the people who are running the simulation, and they assume that Robert has no guilt or conscience because of what happened in the simulation, which resulted in the death of multiple people. They fail him because of this, although Robert does have guilt, but is more relieved when he realizes the situation was not real. Everything is not as it appears. The simulation was just that, a simulation.

The hypnotic simulation shows us the lack of control that people have over their own lives. The story empathizes with the fact that Robert is a careful driver. He is careful, and he manages to regain control of his car twice. Still the crash is deadly. The author carefully notifies the peaceful, level-headed control of his protagonist even while showing that his control is completely meaningless. In this way the author challenges the reader to appreciate whether or not a person can indeed exert control over life and its events. Although Robert Proctor behaves responsibly, he is denied his license. He feels responsible for the death of his mother and the girl in the car which loomed ahead of him though nothing occurred in reality. The vivid image of the girl’s face in his head, together with his mother’s cry lingers in his mind after the hypnosis. This is where the author merges the two plots, reality versus simulation. The feelings that Robert experiences throughout the story are real and true, but the reality is that the simulation was going on in his head, and there was no accident. He has been deceived by authorities, because the act of hypnosis itself is a process of events that takes place in the mind under the control of others that are running the simulation.

To summarize the short story essentially deals with a delicate topic which talks about the morality and ethics of flexibility and the control that the state has over citizens. The author has also brilliantly blended emotions, adventures and reality together. This short story can also be a desirable story for Robert Proctor, who represents young enthusiastic people who want to drive the car and also the state authorities who give you a test to see if he is eligible to get a drivers license. The author points out that we never know when a seemingly simple or easy action, such as driving on the highway, will have serious consequences and making wise decisions is also important at all times. Therefore, the author uses present-day situations in such a way that readers are alert when the time comes, and use caution to avoid situations, rather than justifying a situation that has occurred.

Car accidents are very common in the city and throughout the rest of the country. While some are relatively minor, thousands of lives are taken every year by horrible car crashes. Drivers have a duty to drive carefully and avoid causing foreseeable injuries to other motorists. Unfortunately, not all drivers successfully carry out that duty (King, 2016). The causes of car accidents can seem endless and also many variables factor into accidents on the road. Therefore, this assignment will discuss about the causes of road accident (Delbridge,2019).

Frist and foremost, one of the causes of road accident is teenage drivers. This is because teens don’t have the experience to know what to do in dangerous conditions and that inexperience causes accidents. According to Twisk (1995), the teenagers have limited skills, but have high opinions about themselves as drivers, they like to be on the road a lot and primarily under the risky conditions, they have many extra motives in the sense that car driving as an activity means a lot to them. They enjoy risky activities like racing but they do not see the consequences, are easily affected by peer group appraisal.

Secondly, the other causes of road accident are unskilled drivers. Road accidents occur due to untrained and unskilled drivers (Abdul and Ansa, 2012). According to Ansari et al. (2000) the drivers are poor driving skill such as violation of traffic rules, for example, driving at excess speed, ignoring crossing signals, unsafe overtaking and unsafe making incorrect U turns. This all is because of insufficient driving experience. According to Road Transport Department Malaysia (JPJ), the driver had to passed the practical test and owned the Provisional Driving License (PDL) for 2 years, after the 2 years period, the driver needed to renew their license to Competent Driving License (CDL). In certain cases, the driver that owned the CDL are still lack of driving skill. This is because of they didn’t collect the driving experience in the 2 years period of holding the PDL.

Besides, the weather may be also one of the causes of an accident. Dense fog, excessive rain, slick roads, and high winds can all cause major problems for drivers. Even extreme differences in temperature can create large potholes worthy of damaging a car. During the heavy rain, most of the driver was unclear to the road condition, they unable to changing lanes and sudden break (emergency break) will also lead to road accident (Staver, no date).

Distraction to driver is also one of the causes of road accident (O.E.B. Law, no date). Distractions could be outside or inside the vehicle. The major distraction now a days is using mobile phone while driving. Act of talking on phone occupies major portion of brain and the smaller part handles the driving skills. This division of brain hampers reaction time and ability of judgement. This becomes one of the reasons of road accident. Some of others distraction to driver could be adjusting mirrors while driving, looking animals on the road, paying attention to banners and billboards, let alone kids, eating, and applying makeup (Transport Department, no date).

Last but not least, most of the fatal accidents occur due to excessive speeding. Increase in speed multiplies the risk of accident and severity of injury during accident (Vanlaar and Yannis, 2006). Faster vehicles are more prone to accident than the slower one. Higher the speed, greater the risk. A slower vehicle comes to halt immediately while faster one takes long way to stop and also skids a long distance due to law of notion. A vehicle moving on high speed will have greater impact during the crash and hence will cause more injuries. The ability to judge the forthcoming events also gets reduced while driving at faster speed which causes error in judgment and finally a crash (Rolison et al., 2018).

Essentials You Ought to Know About Car Accident Settlements

Do you own a car? When you own a care it is of abundant importance to ensure that you cover your car with one of the cover companies. There are many organizations out there where you can register and get your engine secured for compensation. Anybody and any car can get involved in an accident. It might either be: a head on coalition, side bruise on your car and many more. Accidents do not tell, what if it comes when you are more broke? Will you take your car to the parking lot until when you get money? When accident happen you might even get injured badly it might even become a permanent injury, injuries like the spinal cord, mental affects might need lots of money to treat. However if you are insured then be sure to be compensated. This is the reason why you need to register in case of any you are assured of car accident settlements which is also known as car compensations.

In the article below we have more factual details, that will help you understand more about car accident settlements amounts after an accident. If you just got involved in an accident by bad lack, this is your place because after here you might be able to make a way forward on the car compensations.

Things The Court Considers to Determine the Value of Car Compensations

When you get into a wreck, you might consider claiming car recompense from the court. However not everybody who goes to court gets the same compensation, below we shall look on the major things that the court considers on before determining the value of your wreck compensation. Things like how you have been injured, how much you have spent during treatment, and how much is your car injured are the great determiners. The court has three major considerations

· Distinct or personal Factors: Before the court determines the value of your compensation, they break the parts into three, one of them being personal. On personal value the most important determinant is how you have been injured, if you got just small bruises then never should you ever expect high personal compensations, however people with greater injuries including injuries that will overtake their lifetime the compensation value is higher. Here the value of your salary also determines the value of compensation you will get in regard to how many day you have been out and by what amount have you lost not going to work. Getting the total value they might consider checking the hospital treatments you underwent and how much did it cost.

· General Factors: When calculating the general compensation cost, the most considered things are physical impact, psychological impact, mental impact and the privileges you won’t enjoy after the impacts. These are majorly derived after the treatment and effects on your health has been determined. When it is realized that you can’t walk or see again the recompense value will automatically go up. Many people happen to get into accidents and because of the tension some even end up going mad, this means you are no longer in your normal state again and this is a privilege you will miss unless proper treatment. Cases like this will probably need more because treatment will not stop and if it stops it will have taken a long time.

· Disciplinary: judgment is made Depending on who caused the accident If you approach the court and the court notes that you are guilty, and the matter has been presented to court, you will need more compensation. It will only come after the judge is not satisfied with the amount for compensation you are given. It will only come if the accused is found in mistakes like he was drinking when drunk, smoking and not following traffic rules

After the court considers the three they will be able to come up with a total amount considering what you spend what you have lost and the disciplinary case to cater for your losses. That is only if you had registered and insured yourself with any of the insurance companies. No return will be made if you haven’t registered of if you have been an inactive member of the community that is not contributing.

What is the Rough Estimation of a Car Compensation?

There is no exact money that can be displayed for each wreck. The above factors have to be considered first to come up with a sum of what you will be compensated. Not everyone who finds themselves in accidents gets the same amount as the other. However normal car accidents might range from $ 10000 to $ 28000. More serious accidents might even result to more those thirty thousand dollars. The compensation cost might even run to millions especially those who have gotten lifetime injuries. The more the impact the more the value. It is done in such a manner to help balance and take care of those who will no longer go to work because of injuries at least they will have something to take care of themselves up to the time they get well to go back to their daily duties.

How to Approximate Car Compensation after an Accident

It being that there is no way you can calculate the amount you will be compensated, you can roughly estimate the amount you might be titled. Using the total amount of hospital bills you have paid during the treatment, the total cost of the car repairmen and any of the expenditures to anybody who was involved, you can get a rough estimate. Remember if you did not get injured at all you might be include in the strategy bound. This is how to go: Calculate the total cost of medication attention you have been involved in, you might consider involving a doctor to help you calculate all the cash you have used from the start, if you are still on treatment also involve all the costs you are spending. Inquire for how long are you going to take drugs and calculate how much it will cost. Remember issues that come out after the company has issued the compensation value won’t be regarded again. Calculate the number of days you were supposed to go to work and you couldn’t make it due to the injuries. Let’s say you missed seven days of work days and you lose $50,000. According to the value of your car, calculate all the parts that have been spoilt and need repair, If the repair exceeds the cost of the car, then you add the cost of the car. Add all the digits you have been calculating together, multiply the end figure by 3 and that might be the rough estimate for the compensation value. Lets say for example the clinic cost including the treatments you are undergoing adds up to a sum of $60000, you miss seven days of the working days and you lose $7000 due to absenteeism, the car expenses sums to $700000. You will add the entire hospital cost plus the lost payments plus the car expenses the total you get you multiply by three.

When you get involved in an accident do not take a lot of time waiting all around most of the insurance companies gives a maximum of two years from the date the accident happened to accept the file of lawsuit. If you get yourself in a position that you are not able to go around filling the forms its better look for a lawyer who will help you out once you give the lawyer all the details and agree on payment all the process will go through as supposed to.

Things That Might Cause Low Compensation

· Small Injuries

Injuries like bruises, small cuts will not be considered as great injuries; do not consider small injuries as a big injury. Only bad and big injuries are awarded high value to compensate on the bigger cost that is used to treat. Small scratches and glass cracks on cars too might not be awarded highly. Yes you will receive compensation, but do not expect on a larger value as to somebody who got bad injuries.

· Medications done are Analysis

Analysis medications do not take long time and do not cost much. It doesn’t mean you should not include the cost of the analysis done, you should include only that we are trying to educate you that when the medication doesn’t cost much do not expect much compensation

· No Long-lasting Injuries

Short term injuries include small cuts and scratches. Short term injuries don’t take most of your time nursing your injuries meaning you won’t lose much on your income. You will need few days and you will go back to work for normal duties. Having such injuries do not expect much compensation because they do not cause that much to treat a short term injury.

· Give Fake Information

This might even lead to disqualification of your form. Submitting fake info is like trying to steal from the company, when they realize that you are not injured, yet claiming you are injured they may even take you to the court of law and you will have t face judgment and at time even be thrown away from the company. You have to ensure that you give accurate information to prevent termination of your account and even being jailed because of trying to steal.

· No medication was undertaken

When you were luck to involve in an accident withought injuries, you might be one of the lucky ones however if your car got damaged you still need a cove r to repair your car, However the cover wont bee tot much because the health cover is done away with.

Importance of a Lawyer

Lawyers are one of the agents that can influence your compensation to higher compensation rther than how you can. Lawyers in the first place will be able to give the judge reasons as to why they think you should earn more than what they want to compensate. The lawyer will also go ahead to the company to explain more and state facts that will help you get entitled to higher compensation value. An expert lawyer who deals with compensation cases knows the strengths you can lie on to get high value, this means they will be able to lie on those sides hence getting higher compensations. The recompense organizations will always struggle to give you lower reimbursements to get their profits, and that is how they work. Having an expert who will help you give reasons why you should be given more is of greatest importance as they will influence what you get. Lawyers will also help you remember the important information that you might have left out. They will also go ahead to the insurance companies to give them facts why a certain affected person should be given more than what they think they should get. To my advice if you can afford paying for a lawyer who will take care of the court and even the companies matters, it is of better that you yourself. You might be wondering where to get a lawyer? The saiontz and krik attorney lawyers are one of the experienced lawyers that can help you solve your car compensation faster and get high value within a short time. You don’t know how to get them? Once you search them through the goggle search they will direct you on how to pay and have your best lawyer. They offer online services where you can communicate give need information and later wait for your matter to proceed.

In conclusion nobody will ever know when an accident will get them. Its better say safe by getting to register in one of the companies and stay safe rather than wait until you get to struggle that’s when you decide you need a cover. Filing the case can be that easy and again a hectic to some people. If you can’t manage to file the case then what you need is a lawyer who will help you out. However its better stay safe rather wait for the struggle.

Driving after drinking according to the CDC is an act that continues to happen across the United States(CDC). According to The California Highway Patrol if you drive while impaired could put you in situations like getting arrested, or being involved in a traffic crash that causes serious injury or death(CDC). Approximately one-third of all traffic crash fatalities in the United States involve drunk drivers with a BAC of .08 or higher(NHTSA). There were 10,511 people killed in 2018, in reportedly preventable crashes. In fact, within the 10 years ranging from 2009 to 2018, there were more than 10,000 people that died every year in drunk-driving-related crashes(NHTSA). In a study performed by the CDC men were more likely than women to be in a fatal crash that was caused by drinking while driving(NHTSA). In this same study, 21% of men were drunk in these crashes in 2018, compared to 14% of women(NHTSA). According to The California Highway Patrol, driving a vehicle while impaired is a crime. Enforcement of drunk-driving laws has been a factor in reducing drunk-driving deaths since the 1980s(NHTSA). Charges can range from misdemeanors to felony offenses, and penalties for impaired driving can include driver’s license revocation, fines, and jail time(NHTSA). A first-time offender will usually be looking at $10,000 in fines and legal fees, States require offenders to install ignition interlock devices which will be at the driver’s own expense(NHTSA). An ignition interlock device is a breath test device connected to a vehicle’s ignition(CDC). The vehicle will not start until the driver has blown into the interlock and has recorded a BAC that is below an already set low limit, usually .02 BAC. NHTSA supports the evolution of ignition interlocks which has proven technology that has kept drunk drivers from operating a motor vehicle(NHTSA).

The National Institute on Drug Abuse reports that teens and elderly adult drivers who are driving while impaired are affected ten times more than their counterparts(DrugAbuse). According to The National Institute on Drug Abuse, teens who are inexperienced in driving are more likely than other drivers to underestimate or not be able to recognize dangerous situations promptly (DrugAbuse). A study conducted by The National Institute on Drug Abuse revealed, that teens speed and allow less distance between vehicles(DrugAbuse). This same Study from the National Institute on Drug Abuse reports that car crashes are the primary cause of death among young people between the ages of 16 to 19 years(DrugAbuse). A study by NIH revealed that college students who can attain a car found that 1 in 6 had driven under the influence of a drug other than alcohol at least once in the past year(DrugAbuse).

In NIH research they found, Marijuana was the most common drug used, which was then accompanied by the narcotic drug cocaine and your typical prescription pain relievers(DrugAbuse). Marijuana was found to be used while driving with 35% positive tests. Of the more than 400 drugs that the federal National Highway Traffic Safety Administration tracks, marijuana was related to 35% of positive tests that were recorded(CNN). Usage for marijuana has varied across the states with 30% to be used medically and 50% used recreationally. The usage laws have varied with marijuana being used for medical purposes being legal in 29 states, and laws have allowed recreational use in eight states. Driving while impaired at any level is identified as illegal by authorities anywhere in the United States(CNN). Amphetamines were found as one of the substances that were detected in CDC studies. Amphetamines were recorded for 9% of substances that were detected, and more than half of the positive tests in the report by the CDC were caused by ‘other drugs.’ These numbers reveal several known and unknown substances that can ultimately contribute to a drug impairment incident(CDC).

One specific case where a man in his 20s was killed in a car crash by a drunk driver in a semi-truck. At the scene, you could see the young man’s car crashed into pieces, glass, and debris scattered everywhere, bloodstains from the young man within the cockpit of the vehicle he was driving. The truck was damaged by the crash, you could still see the hood collapsed forward and the bumper bent inward. The truck was untouched compared to the young man’s car, the aftermath was seen by witnesses around who saw the young man’s car crushed along the freeway. As reported by multiple sources driving while impaired kills 29 people every day in the United States in motor vehicle crashes that involve alcohol or impaired drivers. This is one death every 50 minutes. The annual cost of alcohol-related crashes totals more than $44 billion(CDC). CDC reports that driving while impaired is a problem that must be controlled so that many other lives cannot be ruined and, therefore should be treated with concern and importance by the American public(CDC). 

I was in my Orange Avalanche, on my way home from school and I was feeling a bit tired, so I ended up falling asleep at the car door. Before I go any further you should know I was a little of a rebellious kid and I never wanted to wear my seatbelt. I was leaning on the door when I ended up falling asleep without my seatbelt on. We get home and since I was sleeping my parents went to open the door to take me into the house. Little did they know I was not wearing my seatbelt. My parents open the door and I end up falling about 3 feet to my face. At this point, I am covered with open wounds with rocks in them. I am coming in and out of consciousness. I feel the water being poured over my face to get the rocks and dirt out of the wounds. I knock out after that and woke up in an unknown bed, I was in the hospital. Once I gain consciousness I look around and see medical utensils. I see a big bag of blood next to me. “Is that mine?”. My face is covered with stitches. Parts of my mouth were stitched, beneath my eyes, basically my entire face. I am stitched all over so much that I needed plastic surgery so that I wouldn’t be riddled with scars for the rest of my life.

This event will always be with me and every time I look in the mirror I will be reminded of this tragic event. I’ve learned a really important lesson from it though, always wear your seatbelt, especially when sleeping in the car. Even though this accident happened when I was little, I still look back on it and wonder if my life would be different if I had just put my seatbelt on. This event will always affect me but it has shaped me into the person I am today. Without this event, I would not be the same person I am and my personality would probably be different. I know that everything happens for a reason and my getting injured happened for a reason. Who knows? Maybe if I talk about this event to people more it will introduce me to new experiences and get me into my forever carrier.

In conclusion, government authorities should improve our road networks to reduce accidents. Motorists and pedestrians need to familiarize themselves with the traffic acts, and cars should not be given to underage, not forgetting the drunk drivers who should pay heavy penalties when found in the wrong side of the law.

Before they know it, their life could be flashing before their own eyes. Speeding isn’t the way to go. There are multiple crashes a year involving teens, some can be fatal. 32/100 of fatal crashes involve teen drivers. Speeding for teenagers is bad, it not only puts you in danger but also others.

Around the world, teens are dying from speeding and crashing into objects such as cars, trees, and other things. Kids sometimes do it to look cool in front of their friends, and in some cases, it involves alcohol or other dangerous substances. Teens are going way over the speed limit, they could be going 50 in a 30. In a recent accident, there were 3 teenagers in the car. They took a corner too quickly and hit a tree, the crash killed 2 and left one in the hospital. Teens can be injured and their life can be ruined fast. Speeding can put people in a wheelchair, take teens out of sports, or people can be paralyzed for the rest of their lives.

Teens are in danger and are putting others in danger. When teens are speeding, they can easily lose control of the wheel or they can’t stop in time and rear-end someone. Cars and houses have been destroyed by reckless driving. Crash counts can double from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m. If teens knew the number of deaths and accidents that happen daily from speeding, it could reduce the amount of speeding. Teens who just get their licenses have the highest crash rate. One-third of crashes that were fatal involved speeding. Teens are mainly caught in daylight, some may get caught at night, but it’s harder. During the day there are people out, and about which is more dangerous.

Considering all the dangers associated with speeding by teenagers, teens should be monitored and should have a restriction on their cars. It is necessary to develop a technology that detects the speed limit and won’t let someone go higher than that. If there was a way to go higher, maybe only by 5, but not by 20, it would and could save lives. Cars shouldn’t be allowed to go over 85. The highest speed limit is 85 and that speed limit is in Texas. The only cars that should be able to go higher than that are race cars. Race cars aren’t allowed on the streets, so, therefore, it would reduce the number of speeding incidents. Cars also shouldn’t be able to be modified into something big and fast. The only cars that should have that advantage are police, medical, or firefighters. They are the real ones that need to speed to get somewhere, they have to save lives, and they have to be the ones to pull up on the scene of the teenager that was speeding that crashed their car into the tree.

The amount of speeding needs to abate. There are too many deaths and injuries from it. The government needs to conjure a better system to know if things are out of hand. We need to do something about it now. Over the past couple of years, we haven’t done something about it, and it’s getting out of hand. Teens are losing their lives, and if they die from a car crash, they don’t get to live their future. Teens that sped don’t get to have a family, get married, or die old. Again, don’t speed because you can ruin your chance of having a normal life and the way you get to live it. Also, if you die, you put a big hole in people’s hearts, and it takes a long time for that to heal. Don’t do that to people and your family.

Nowadays, traffic accidents are increasing every year, as a result of which many people are injured, even dead by the accidents. There are many types of traffic accidents that cause many people to die. One of the most issues that happen every day is speeding. In this essay, I want to prove that speeding can kill many people and affect the environment.

Firstly, speeding could either kill or injure people around you and even yourself on the road. The cause of traffic accidents is not only driving under the influence of alcohol but also exceeding the permitted speed. Speeding is one of the most dangerous fatal accidents, so we all should not let it happen because it will waste our time and money. For instance, based on my own experience, a few years ago, I had a traffic accident while I was speeding that could have killed another driver, but I luckily did not. That was just a serious injury, and I had to pay for the driver’s recovery because I was the one who caused the accident. Emergency driving could cause death every single minute.

Second, speeding vehicles not only kill lives but also pollute the environment even more and cost a lot of money. As long as cars have been geared up, more tons of fuel will use to run its high speed. As a result, gas emission that causes air pollution is released from automobiles into the environment. Moreover, since cars require more fuel and take up fuel faster, they have to be refilled the gas or petrol more often. Therefore, car owners must spend more cash on petrol and gas.

Nonetheless, some people might think that they drive at full speed because they get into an emergency situation that is very essential. For example, when employees arrive late at work, their boss will fire them. While it is true to say that speeding can lead them to reach their destinations quickly, it is unacceptable for people to argue that they cannot control the wheels very well when they see something come out from the roads. A large number of people die in road accidents every year. Pedestrians are one of the most vulnerable groups. Moreover, because walkers cross a road immediately, drivers cannot slow down their speed quickly, so they can hit them.

In summary, speeding kills and injures people, pollutes the environment, and causes people to spend a lot more money on gas. In my opinion, speeding is illegal and people should not break traffic laws to save people’s lives and make the world safe.
