    Explain the legal consequences of driving under the influence of alcohol? Driving under the influence (DUI) of alcohol not only puts you in danger of a road accident, but also endangers other drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians. Alcohol impairs your perception of the environment around you, which can cause serious accidents and is subject to many legal consequences. For new drivers with their G1 or G2, or anyone under the age of 21, absolutely no alcohol is allowed in their system while driving. If caught driving under the influence, their license will be suspended automatically for 24 hours, and if convicted, may be fined up to $500, have your license suspended again, and potentially face jail time.

    In fact, the law may increase the amount of eighteen to twenty year olds who do drink. It has been shown that, especially in college-age students, there is a tendency to not do what they are told, on the contrary, they will do the exact opposite. The problem with the drinking age being twenty-one is that some students drink purely out of defiance). The number of fatalities is down in all age groups, not just teenagers, and cars driven now are much safer than the cars that were being driven in the early 1980’s, and teenagers are much safer drivers, which can be attributed to the decreased amount of fatalities.

  • Speech About Optimism

    Optimism is hopefulness for the future, and, like me, most people get their optimism from their roots, or how they were brought up as a child. My parents would always remind me from a young age that being pessimistic will not help you achieve your goal, so you might as well be optimistic and try. They have always taught me from a young age, and never denied or doubted, that with optimism comes opportunity, and that optimism is, in fact, the key to success. Over the years, I’ve learned that the more optimistic you are, the more creative you can be. With optimistic attitude, one can generate new ideas and create possibilities to move forward faster and more efficiently than at normal times, due to an open mind.
