...American citizens and the most compelling "driving fast is enjoyable" reason. Knutson also reports the opposite view, those people do not believe American drivers have the enough capacity of operating vehicles and driving without speed limits. And it's not responsive to others. Knutson claims that nowadays automobiles are able to travel safely at highways. The speed is not the cause of accidents but incompetence, alcohol or hazardous conditions. What’s more, Knutson states that some activities will make Americans drive responsibly, such as intensive driver-education, stringent licensing criteria and public-service announcement campaigns. Knutson also give some data which shows the accident rates declined since the interstate speed limits increased. Knutson concludes that we should take control of the automobiles and free from speed slavery. Test-Based Analysis: I disagree with Knutson's point of repealing speed limits on U.S. highways. First, the scenario Knutson presents in this essay is quite inconclusive. Then he claims that “In fact, there is solid reasoning to support...should be repealed,” The reader can only admit that this driver who drives the Japanese sports car has a pretty competent and courteous driving ability. However, he can not use this coincidence example to prove his viewpoint. There is no causality between two. Second, Knutson mentioned personal freedoms of American citizens in this essay. And his standpoint also let me confused. For example, as prescribed for...

...Assignment 3 1. Some games of strategy are cooperative. One example is deciding which side of the road to drive on. It doesn’t matter which side it is as long as everyone chooses the same side. Otherwise, everyone may get hurt. a. Does either player have a dominant strategy? Explain. I don’t believe that either player has a dominant strategy. Dominant strategy is “a strategy that results in the best outcome or highest payoff to a given player no matter what action or choice the other player makes” (Farnham, 2010, p. 233). If both drivers stay on their side of the road, they both pass each other safely. If one driver drives on the wrong side of the road, they both lose. If both drivers drive on the wrong side of the road, they will pass each other safely. So, in all scenarios, a given player will not have any dominant strategy. b. Is there Nash equilibrium in this game? Explain. I do believe that there is Nash equilibrium in this game. Nash equilibrium is “a set of strategies from which all players are choosing their best strategy, given the actions of the other players” (Farnham, 2010, p. 234). The driver will drive on the correct side of the road because this is their best strategy, assuming that the other driver is using their best strategy. c. Why is this game called a cooperative game? I believe that this game is a cooperative game because if one or both players don’t cooperate, then neither player wins. Cooperative oligopoly models are “interdependent...

...say thing in the world. Same ways, if you have lots and lots of fear within yourself and tend to do nothing but just stay wherever you are, then you will be the biggest looser anyone will ever see. Accordingly, fear is such a thing that can be explained in different ways. In my life, fear plays an important role. In each and every step, first I feel the fear whether I can succeed this task or not then I move on taking it positive in a safe way as much as possible. For example, I do not know how to drive a vehicle and I am learning this task. But I have a deep fear of the thought of having an accident. Because of the fear of having an accident, I will not stop learning how to drive but I will learn to drive safely so that I avoid accident. I can share you an incident about a recent fear of mine i.e. I had lots and lots of fear about driving or touching the steering of a car so I never had a confidence of touching it. Later on, I managed to come over my fear and attempted to learn driving. Still, I had so much fear that I hit the DPS office pole. After that I learnt few tips for driving...

...practice. We hope you understand that the laws and penalties are in place to help reduce crashes, injuries and deaths. We want to remind all license holders that driving is a privilege and not a right. Connecticut has specific laws, such as speeding, driving too fast for conditions, reckless driving, driving under the influence, and others that aim to protect all people on the road whether vehicle drivers, passengers or pedestrians. Distracted driving, including the use of phones while driving, has been noted as a contributing factor in many serious accidents. We urge all drivers to remain focused on the task at hand – operating the motor vehicle safely when under your control. Driving is a constant learning experience and it takes complete concentration at all times. Connecticut will be a safer place for all to drive if everyone drives more carefully. Both new drivers and experienced drivers will find many useful tips and explanations in this manual to accomplish that task. We ask...

...Fahad Al Ashban ENG107 A major accident I never expected that I would have a major accident, but I had a very strong accident that I saw my whole life in front of me and it was the first moment that I saw death in front of me. I was going to my friend’s house with my brand new car when I had an accident and my car went upside down. I didn’t know what happened to me or even what I did before I had this accident, and the thing that made it worse that I was going to my friend’s house to study with him for my final exam which was physics and it was two days after the accident. This accident changed my whole life and my whole understanding of driving a car, after this accident I started to put my seatbelt on when I drive and I started to drive more safely. The accident was three years ago in Saudi Arabia before my final exam, I was 17 years old at my 11th grade, at that time I liked to drive a lot because I recently took my driver license and I was very happy with it. I remember that when I would get bored from studying I would go to the grocery store that is a few meters away of our house with my car and after I get a coke from there I go around my neighborhood just because I want to drive and also because I am driving my brand new car. That car was Toyota, I remember that I suffered a lot to get this car; my father said always that I can’t get an expensive car because it’s my first car and the first car always should be a cheap car. He at first wanted me to take Yaris because...

...eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee8–12 of this unit. fffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff The use of cell phones while driving Drivers should not be able to use their cell phones while driving, for the reason that the use of a cell phone while operating a vehicle is hazardous for the driver, but also for others around them. Almost everyone has seen or heard a ad about texting and driving and what damage they cause. Although it is not a consistent problem, cell phones do cause wrecks and some have been fatal. Cell phones were first introduced in the U.S. in the mid 1980’s, and have since experienced dramatic growth. According to the United States Department of Transportation, 5,747 people were killed because of driving distractions and approximately 448,000 were injured in 2009 alone. Cellular phones are becoming increasingly popular, marked by a 1,685 percent increase in the number of users from 1988 to 1995. So as a result, many, many people use cell phones, some need to, like businessmen or lawyers who depend on phones to run their business. Furthermore going over how dangerous texting and driving really is, and how fatal they are; the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reported that in 2010 driver distraction was the cause of 18 percent of all fatal crashes – with 3,092 people killed – and crashes resulting in an injury – with 416,000 people wounded. Eleven percent of drivers aged 18 to 20 who were involved in an automobile accident...

...Driving Without Cell Phone Distraction “Don’t text message when you’re driving. It’s not safe.” “Oh, Mom. You worry too much. I know what I’m doing.” “You’ll get distracted and end up in a crash.” “No, I won’t.” “When you drive my car you are not to use your cell phone to talk to your friends or text message. If it’s that important to talk, pull off the road at a safe place to use your phone.” Mom didn’t confess to her daughter that she’d tried texting while she was driving, and she had many more years of driving experience. There was no way to safely drive and use a cell phone at the same time. Some things were best done one at a time, she thought, like driving and text messaging. Her goal was getting to her destination without harm to others as well as herself. She kept her phone calls brief. She also made sure her family knows, “If I don’t answer it’s because I’m driving. When I stop, I’ll call you back.” “Highway safety experts are now claiming cell phone use while driving is a public health issue and are demanding more education and restrictions on such electronic devices,” writes Deidre Bello, associate editor of Safety & Health magazine. Her article poses the question of how multitasking while driving should be addressed. Early in 2007 a local restaurateur was killed when his SUV struck a utility pole. The news report advised that he was using his cell phone at the tie of the crash. But cell phone use isn’t the only multitasking behavior at issue. How...

...Weber didn’t follow direct instructions from his supervisor during his shift on October 16th when he decided to use the front plow, even though he was directly instructed to use the loader. In this instance, he failed to follow direct instructions from his supervisor because he didn’t feel the need to follow instructions. Regarding the October 18th incident, management explained that Mr. Weber approached the bridge too fast, entered at an angle, he had crossed ¾ of the way across the bridge before the plow dug in, debris was thrown at about 100 feet, and the bridge was in good condition. Management describes the incident as being “pretty violent” in lieu of the evidence. Mr. Weber failed to safely operate...

...epidemic that has taken our nation by storm over the past decade. People think they can drive safely while texting on their phones, or they don’t think nothing is going to happen while they are texting on their phones. Texting while driving must be stopped. To do this our government must take action to both uniformity to the laws and punishments bestowed on the offenders. But it is also vital that our government give educational programs that will help spread the dangers about texting while driving a car. Image from video captured by (Dr. Beth Ebel’s) field study of cell phone from behind the wheel, captures a Washington woman texts while she drives. They weren’t police, but when Beth Ebel and her team of investigators walked up and down intersections in six major counties this year, peering into car windows to count how many drivers were using their phones, some drivers dropped them. Hid them, and pretended they’d never held them. “We in public health have this fallacy that if we tell people why they shouldn’t do things, they won’t do them,” said Ebel, a trauma doctor and director of the Injury Prevention and Research Center at Harborview Medical Center. “We got to stop that.” Today, 97.5 percent of the state’s drivers wear seat belts. When Elbel began doing research on seat-belt use in 2001, 83 percent did. Now it’s time to have a serious and honest conversation about using our phones while we drive. No one knows or understands this type of behavior, and it’s killing us. Perfectly...

...needed to respond to a text message? What about when you kill someone’s child because you had a conversation going on the phone and ran a stop sign? Will you say “sorry” to that kid’s parents and expect things to get better? And if you had an accident because of the distraction of talking to your friend in the passenger seat, what would you say to her if you got to see her again? “Sorry you had to go to my funeral”? “I apologize for making you live with that horrible memory for the rest of your life”? “Sorry cannot begin to fix some things and preventing those things from happening by acting responsibly is the best you can do. People should not drive when talking to a passenger, using a cell phone or when they have distractions of any kind. Talking to a passenger can immensely distract drivers. Keeping an eye on the speedometer, the road, other cars, upcoming signs and traffic lights in conjunction with holding a conversation with a passenger is quite a challenge. David Strayer, a psychology professor at the University of Utah estimates that only 2% of people can safely multitask while driving. According to his estimation, a driver...
