...SHOULD DRIVING LICENSE BE RAISED TO 21 ? The legal age to obtain driving license is 17 years. Everybody endeavor to obtain driving license at this period life will be better to raise driving age because young drivers are the main cause of road deaths. In addition, if driving age is 21, number of deaths will decrease and roads become safer. Another reason, teens text and drive and put themselves and other people in danger. Teens are increasing car wrecks. They are also increasing their injuries. Teens don't know much of the consequences that come with driving. They party and drink, and when they drive drunk, that's another wreck and death waiting to happen. Teenagers can simply be distracted by lots of things while driving such as, loud music and talking in phones etc. Moreover they are not fully developed especially the frontal lobe part of their brain which is the part responsible for weighing risks and making judgments. If the driving age was raised thousands of innocent soles would be saved. In conclusion, Young driver’s especially male drivers are likely to overestimate their ability to drive at faster speed that’s leads to major accident to reduce this only strategy to raise the age of driving license. Teen drivers are every adult’s nightmare. The driving age at the moment is 17 it should be raised to 21 to overcome some of consequences and risk factors in teenagers.

...How to get a driving license in Karachi Trying to get any ordinary task done, in a place like Karachi, when you have to deal with the government, turns out not to be an ordinary experience at all. One example of that is what happened when I got my driver’s license. Firstly, I would discuss the honest and decent way in which my friend and I tried to get our license. We went to the license department on a Thursday afternoon. When we reached there, many agents tried to approach us told that they could get our licenses for us, as they had contacts with officers inside the department, who would get our licenses within no time. They also mentioned that it was almost impossible for us to get the licenses without hiring anyone for us, because the people inside the department are corrupt people and will never pass us in the theoretical exam and as well as the practical one. Since, we were there to follow the right way and had no of breaking the law; we decided to get hold of the licenses in a fair way. When we tried to get our driver’s license honestly, here were the steps we had to follow, in which we encountered different situations. Firstly, we entered the license department and went straight to the counter where we took our license forms in one building. After filling out forms, we had to go to the other building where we had to submit them. In that building, a huge crowd was present and a race for the submission of forms was happening. Those who had arranged an agent...

...Should the age of obtaining a driving license in Malaysia be increased to 21 years old? Year by year the accident rate in Malaysia has been on a steady hike. Various factors are said to be the contributors for this hike. However, one prominent factor has been a topic for debate in recent years. It is claimed that newly licensed teenagers have helped to increase the number of serious accidents than any other group on the road. For this reason, I believe that the age of obtaining a driving license in Malaysia should be raised to 21 years old. Firstly, at the age of 21, humans leave their teenage years into early adulthood. During this period of life, humans gain more maturity physically and mentally. Mental maturity is an absolute requirement for all drivers. At a younger age, teenagers are fueled by a competitive lifestyle where everything seems to be race for them. This also happens on road where teenagers strive to overtake any drivers who drive faster than them. In turn, they endanger their own life and the life of others due to this immaturity. Secondly, once the minimum age is raised there will be lesser drivers on the road. If we only may get a driving license at the age of 21, then teenagers from the age of 17 to 20 years old will still not be driving. Consequently, there will be lesser drivers on the road which lead to a lower probability for accidents to occur. Besides, the more cars on the roads, the higher the probability of accidents to occur. This can be proven by...

Internet: http://www.genetics.edu.au FACT SHEET 8 29 Important points Trisomy 13 (also known as Patau syndrome) is a chromosomal condition in which there are three copies instead of the usual two copies of all, or a part of chromosome 13 in the cells of the body Trisomy 13 severely impacts on intellectual and physical development Appears to affect females slightly more frequently than males Occurs in about 1 in 5,000 to 1 in 12,000 live births About 1% of all recognised miscarriages occur in association with trisomy 13 Of all babies born with the extra copy of chromosome 13 in all the cells of their body, around 50% die in the first month, and the rest within the first year The chromosomal problem in trisomy 13 is due to an egg cell or, rarely, a sperm cell, that is formed containing one copy of each chromosome and an extra copy of chromosome 13, ie. 24 chromosomes rather than 23. When that egg combines with sperm containing the usual 23 chromosomes, the baby conceived has 47 chromosomes in the cell of their body rather than the usual 46 When there are three copies of chromosome number 13 in all of the baby’s cells, the condition is referred to as trisomy 13 When the extra copy of chromosome 13 is only in some of the baby’s cells due to a mistake in cell division occurring soon after conception, the chromosomes in the...

...One of the most common occurrences in a person’s everyday life is driving a vehicle but do you ever take a second to think about what harm you can possibly cause. I am sure at one point or another you have been driving and seen another driver and then asked yourself “what is this person doing. “ At the age of 16 Americans are required to take an exam to show they have the knowledge required to operate a vehicle as well as six months of driving with a guardian. Most see this test as satisfactory but with the driving seen on the roads every day I tend to believe otherwise. No matter the age of the driver there are bad skills being demonstrated whether it be the older gentleman going slow in the fast lane or not using the proper turn signal it would be the young kid who just got their license speeding everywhere they go. It is not everyone who has poor driving skills and for the people who drive safely a switch in how we regulate who is allowed behind the wheel could decide how we look at vehicles from now on. What needs to be changed so that safe driving will be a more frequent occurrence is not the way we issue licenses but how the general population is never re-examined on their driving skills after the age of sixteen. Would you be willing to take a re-examination test of your driving skills knowing that you would be saving lives by creating a safer driving environment? A re-examination of all drivers can make the roads safer for everyone. Currently there is only a re-examination...

...Daily in the United States we lose people to fatal car crashes caused from reckless driving, drunk driving, and speeding. Car wrecks are the number one leading cause of death in the United States today to make the percentage of death by car wrecks go down we need to have have harder consequences on people that break those laws. What is more important to you, driving safely and saving someone’s life or driving how you want to and taking someone’s life or possibly even your own? People lose friends and family daily from car crashes and never get justice for their death, car wrecks affect everyone around people in the crashes, and tickets and license points do not stop people from driving how they want to so we need stronger consequences to stop them from that. I think the in the United States today people get away with driving recklessly, speeding, and drunk driving and we need to create a stronger law and consequence to stop people from causing these deadly crashes. I along with many other people want to stop people from being so careless with their driving decisions. Most people will eventually have a license and a car and...

...Distracted driving is the number one reason a car wreck occurs. Distracted driving is especially more dangerous for teenagers. Fresh drivers who have just recently achieved their drivers license are excited to death about driving around town. This effect does not usually dissipate until many years down the road. I know for myself, I still get excited to just drive around sometimes. The sheer freedom driving allows to teenagers is just undeniable. Over time, the young driver develops a sense of invincibility, and becomes less and less focused on their senses like checking every mirror constantly, observing their speed, drifting off into thought more often, their reaction time is slowed, and so on. After a while, if they have not already, the phones begin to get a view in the front driver's seat. The young driver may begin to text a friend asking for directions to a party, or texting their boyfriends, or even playing games. Phones, however, are not the only form of distracted driving. They may be the most potent form, but they are not the only ones in this day in age. Although it is extremely impractical, there are many vehicles that are being manufactured with wifi built into them. This not only distracted the driver, but can distract passengers, which in many ways can very well distract the driver. The passenger may lean across the seat and show the driver a funny vine for...

...Man Sentenced in Fatal Drunk Driving Accident in Huntington Beach February 1st, 2010 The motorist in a fatal accident that killed his passenger in Huntington Beach has been sentenced to 11 years in prison. On November 15th 2008, Kenneth John McNair was driving a Honda Accord that rear ended a Ford Mustang driven by Jose Pacheco. The Mustang burst into flames up on impact, and Pacheco suffered fatal burn injuries. He was 20 years old at the time of the accident. Blood alcohol tests would later show that McNair was driving at a level of .25, more than 3 times the legal limit. According to the deputy district attorney, McNair was not only driving under the influence, but was also driving without a license and speeding at up to 100mph. Soon after the accident, McNair allegedly walked away from the crash scene, but was stopped by Huntington Beach police. Earlier that evening, McNair had been playing “beer pong.” He drank up to 10 beers, and then went off to another of his favorite joints in Huntington Beach to drink some more. Pacheco’s family had appealed to the Orange County Superior Court judge to sentence McNair to 15 years in prison, the maximum sentence for this crime. However, Judge James Marion seems to have taken into consideration McNair’s apparently genuine remorse for the crash Every year, more than 1,000 people die in drunk driving accidents in California. Those numbers have been steadily declining over the past few years. In 2008, there were 1,029 fatalities resulting...

As I think about the lesson, I learn on my first driving lesson .There was a time I thought I could not drive until one summer day I choose to face my fear. Facing my fears became easy and giving up was no longer an option. It was Tuesday evening on a calm summer night .I remember this evening perfectly, around 6pm my first driving lesson was official about to happen .The entire day I was nervous and found myself trying to talk myself out of this lesson . I must admit I was nervous and had stomach full of butterflies. As I slowly approach the driving school my heart drop, everyone at the driving school stared me down and could smell the scent of fear on me. I had to wait for my instructor to arrive, which gave me time to calm down. My sweat was pouring off my forehead and, the more waited the more anxious I became.

...In Road Rage can result in belligerent driving behavior from many civilians. I interviewed three teachers and they all had different experience. Psychiatrists call it Intermittent Explosive Disorder. It is a behavioral disorder characterized by extreme expressions of anger, often to the point of uncontrollable rage. Intermittent Explosive Disorder has been a serious problem for years, but no one knew how common it was. (Kessler) Road Rage is a relatively serious act. It may be seen as an endangerment of public safety. There are different penalties for road raging. Most people who road rage are called “Road Ragers”. They can be prosecuted for careless or reckless driving. Drivers with low tolerances for traffic delays might respond by following too closely, changing lanes frequently, or becoming angry at anyone who impedes their progress. Some people drive aggressively because they have too much to do and are running late for work, school, their next meeting, lesson, soccer game, or other appointment. There are many ways to avoid becoming a victim of road rage. First you can obey posted speed limits and traffic laws. You must be cautious and expect the unexpected. If you are cut off, do not make any hand gestures to the other motorist. Also if you are being chased by another motorist who appears to be in a rage, do not weave in and out of traffic. You could cause harm to yourself, passengers, and other motorists. Aggressive driving and road rage is on the rise. With more...

...Car accidents are common on a daily basis, and the causes behind these crashes are the many different distractions we have throughout the day, but talking on the phone and even texting while driving is the number one cause of crashes according to recent studies. This distraction can be deadly in many ways and can put the driver as well as the passengers in danger; therefore the use of technology while driving is never an option. The usage of phones either by text or call are a problem when it comes to driving because they do not allow people to focus on their surroundings like incoming traffic and pedestrians, causing crashes and many times even death. Of course, teenagers play a very important role in this controversial topic, as they have been more involved in the evolution of technology; leading them to an addiction to it. In addition, the Department of Transportation is working on banning the use of cell phones while...
