Dangerous Habits Of Today's Drivers
[ send me this paper ]
3 pages in length. Contemporary society is in such a hurry and has so much to accomplish that getting certain tasks done in a timely fashion has created some dangerous habits for today's drivers. Added to the long-standing list of distractions people have when driving - unruly kids, being late, impatience - drivers routinely eat, apply makeup, read, talk/text on the cell phone, take impairing medications and - believe it or not - consume alcohol while maneuvering a two-thousand-pound vehicle made of piercing metal and glass as well as flammable gasoline. The false sense of security people have when getting behind the wheel is both grand and far-reaching; that it takes but the blink of an eye for an accident to happen speaks to the casual attitude today's drivers have with regard to operational safety. Bibliography lists 4 sources.
