A tragic motor vehicle event occurred in January of 2018 in Las Vegas that lead to safety concerns and the question - are driving licenses given too easily and should this right be given an extensive right to obtain? An implausible story highlighted a speeding driver who was under the influence of drugs (marijuana) and proceeded to his car being smashed into a building 60 feet up in the air. Local police confirmed that 2 people were inside the car at the time (who’s names have not been disclosed). Both individuals did survive the insane crash. Authorities such as The Orange County Fire Authority and The Santa Ana Police Department confirmed using CCTV cameras that the driver had hit a centre divide which therefore projected the car into the building wall. Authorities also confirmed that the vehicle was traveling upwards of 150 miles per hour (mph) in a 60-mph zone. Shocking pictures upon police arrival showed the vehicle glued into the wall with tons of debris dispersed on the ground. The removal process entailed the use of a crane which was appointed by officials to evacuate the facility, and create a safe environment for businesses and the street to be open again to the public. This distressing event beseeches the question to the individual and society about what effect the taken drugs had on the brain to impact thought processes and functionality. As well, why would someone take a risky approach especially while driving in a state that does not meet the due diligence of a
In the first article Patrick Ortman talks about how to control drivers that are under the influence of alcohol. Ortman states in the article that “In America each year 16,189 people are killed and another 327,000 are seriously injured simply because someone decided to operate their vehicle under the influence of alcohol” (Ortman, 2000). The utilization of liquor is a prevalent movement for some, the vast majority who beverage guarantee that liquor helps them to unwind, and advances social connection. Alcohol all by itself may not be safe due to the brain changing properties of liquor that are consolidated with the potential speed and mass of a car. The outcomes are too frequently heartbreaking; the quantity of people are either executed or
Road rage, ignoring traffic laws, drinking and driving, or texting and driving are becoming a convention. As more people convert to these unacceptable actions, the roads become even more perilous. Reevaluating the way individuals drive could end up saving someone’s
Catching Crappie on the Original Road Runner “We just wanted a lure that would catch fish.” That’s how the late Bert Hall described the rationale behind his Road Runner lure.

Driving seems like a simple task, after all most people in the world do it in what seems to be an effortless way. What people fail to talk about are the difficulties of driving after doing it for such a long time, specifically when you reach your elderly years. Elderly drivers are faced with multiple issues when driving on the road, including weather conditions that make them experience fear about driving, medical complications and health status that affect the way they drive, and age-related vulnerabilities that alter the way they used to drive as an adult.

Did you know that tens of thousands of people will lose their jobs when self-driving cars hit the road? Did you know that you can buy a house for the same price as a driverless car? Self-driving cars are about to take over the highways, but these vehicles are on a course destined to crash. Not only are these cars expensive to purchase, but they will leave many without jobs and these cars will add to our already lazy do-it-for-me society. I believe that self-driving cars have no business on the road.
Autonomous Vehicles Imagine a world where people can feel safer on roadways, where cars can’t pollute the environment, where higher paying jobs are available, where cars and trucks drive themselves.

Self-driving cars will not only revolutionize driving, it will change the way humans currently live their lives. Hod Lipson and Melba Kurman in their book, Driverless, state that “In the coming decade, self-driving cars will hit the streets, rearranging established industries and reshaping cities, giving us new choices in where we live and how we work and play.” (Mrs. Heyne – this is in the summary of the book, what should I put here as a page number?) Self-driving cars aren’t science fiction anymore, they are real, and they will be purchased by consumers in the millions within the coming decades. Autonomous cars are proven to be safer, and much smarter than manually-driven cars.
