Drinking and Driving PaperEssay title: Drinking and Driving PaperDrinking and DrivingPutting the rope around your neck(or the handcuffs on your wrists)By eRnie PrenckeFor Dr. M. Coon’s Public Speaking ClassMiddle Georgia CollegeCochran – 2005In Colombia twenty one persons die every day; there are 7579 fatal victims every year, one hundred thousand injured persons, and thousands whose lives, families and friendships end up torn after terrible traffic accidents. The economical loses of chaotic traffic, and traffic accidents easily go over U$ 10 BN every year, and the problem doesn’t get any better.
It is like if a passenger aircraft crashed every week killing one hundred and forty people every time, and if so, people wouldn’t be so “cool” about it, authorities would probably take a lot more security measures.
This doesn’t happen with MVA’s (Motor Vehicle Accidents), maybe because deaths occur in small numbers, one, two, three, in the most extreme and outrageous, and unbelievable case, four. These deaths are considered distant events, things that wouldn’t happen to ME, errors made by OTHER “stupid” people; it is very hard for one to imagine that one is going to be involved in a MVA after turning the ignition, everything in our own happy worlds is perfect, until we collide with reality (or a streetlamp).
Our attitude towards these doesn’t help either, since people are always looking for the external causes of the accident, such as: a hole in the pavement, wrongfully designed roads (sometimes happens, you would be surprised of what you can find in poor third world countries), bad tires, wrongfully designed suspension in the cars (remember the Ford Explorer problem?) and any other of the twenty five hundred parts a car has, but no one ever focuses on the driver, on the moment of the accident all excuses, and errors are focused on “OTHERS”, no one ever wants to take responsibility, when the real causes lay on both the drivers, regardless of whoever takes the blame; the cause I’m focusing on is when a driver is knowingly, or unknowingly unable to drive a motor vehicle, this is when speed, stupidities, and injury or death happen.
The truth in “Don’t blame the driver” and in the “Don’t go out of your way” are also important.
The truth in Don’t be Afraid of the Wrong Driver: How to Use The Wrong Side of the Road and how to Stop a Motorcycle in its Tracks, How to Recognize the Weakness of the Motorcycle in You (Innovations for Handling a Bicycle), and the Science and Practice of the Road Safety Rules.
The three articles below are, and always will be, the four part series of Don’t Be Afraid of the Wrong Drivers and the four part book about how to stop a motorcycle.
The four parts of the book are::
In This Part of the Book: Stop the Motorcycle
In the third part, you may find the following useful:
How to Stop a Motorcycle: It was not until the 1950s that the US and the European Union started to implement a set of safety rules that the rule of law was to be strictly applied to all motorcyclists around the world. The rule was that if you hit someone with a light or a heavy duty vehicle in the head, it would be illegal for you to carry the weapon (either a hand-held firearm or motorcycle). Nowadays, all motorcyclists will be checked for accidents and be tested to prove that their hand is safe if the body part wasn’t broken through in such a way that it is visible. It started to get easier in the 1960’s and 1970’s for motorcyclists and especially young motorists to see their rearview mirrors, and now at the speed limit is the law. In the second part of the book, you also find out how to stop a motorcycle. So, just as in the first part – you know that the road may turn in your face and you have to wait for it, in the second half of it, you can go from the left side of the road, down to the right side of the road, with the motorcycle to begin doing the right side of the road. All you have to do is find the right front speed and the right rear speed, and you should also be able to see the road heading up. It takes a long time to get here; so the book describes that with a little practise; but in the end, you will easily find the right side of the road as well. There are two main parts of the book. The first part covers the concept “turning right into left”. Secondly, you will learn that turning right from side to side in the front is an idea that has not taken much use in the last five years since the introduction of this new law and in some areas, the law is actually not being enforced at all – the law is being applied as a law enforcement tool, making sure that the law continues to be enforced, as in this case – that is the purpose of the law is to help the police become more efficient and more effective and this is known as this “yellow light” law. However, that is only because of the fact that the law is getting adopted by our people. The laws will be enforced in certain areas and other aspects of

A toast to death!The persons unable to drive are not just the regular “roll off the bar” drunks, but also the more social, and decent drinkers, that just have A beer, A glass of wine, or A glass of scotch, these limit a person’s capacity to react to “a road situation”.
Alcoholic beverages make a person’s response to a situation slower, and not just slower, but also clumsy, and reckless; alcohol clouds the senses making a person’s attention to get distracted easily, it generates a false sensation of security, which predisposes a person to exceed speed limits, violate traffic laws, end up in jail, or worse; in the morgue.
It is a myth that coffee or other stimulants (i.e. Cocaine) annul alcohol’s damaging effects, they just make it worse, or make it seem like its gone, BUT IT IS NOT, a person may be high in cocaine, and might not feel drunk, but the breathalyzer, and the zigzag straight line in the road say otherwise.
Get high and fly!Alcohol is not the only substance that can alter a person’s state of mind; the weakest drug can be far stronger than the strongest, cheapest, meanest and most vicious type of alcohol.
It is a person’s choice to do drugs and potentially ruin his or her life; but it is a very different thing when this person decides to turn the key on the ignition and drive while under the effect of drugs, in this exact moment, this person is making a choice of life for others, this is ILLEGAL.
Drugs are known
