The document discusses arguments for restricting driving privileges for people under 18. It provides several examples of tragic car accidents involving young drivers to support the claim. Statistical evidence from studies also shows that drivers under 25 have accident rates several times higher than expected due to lack of experience and overconfidence. The conclusion is that restricting driving privileges until age 19 and implementing graduated licensing systems could help reduce the number of fatal accidents caused by young, inexperienced drivers.

Elderly drivers, especially those over 80 years old, have higher accident rates than other age groups except teenagers. Their cognitive abilities, motor skills, reaction times, and physical resilience tend to deteriorate with age, increasing accident risk. While experience helps compensate at first, elderly drivers often make poor judgments in turns and lane changes, and have trouble responding to unexpected situations. Doctors are reluctant to declare patients unsafe, but simple tests of walking and connecting letters/numbers can help identify potential driving impairments. A more accurate cognitive assessment is available but too costly for license renewals. Incentivizing its use through lower insurance might boost safety.
Background: Research has limitedly focused on adolescents’ emotional–behavioral func- tioning preceding road collisions and on the role of family support. Objective: To verify whether the rates of motorbikes collisions among adolescents are associated with their emotional–behavioral functioning, their use of specific defense strategies and family sup- port. Method: N = 150 adolescents who visited an emergency department for road accidents were selected and completed self-report questionnaires assessing emotional–behavioral functioning, difficulty in identifying and describing emotions, use of defense strategies and perceived family support. Results: Higher rates of motorbike collisions are associated with more maladaptive emotional–behavioral functioning. Higher perceived family sup- port is associated with lower rates of collisions. Conclusions: Recidivism of motor vehicle collision among adolescents can be considered as a form of acting-out caused by their psy- chological difficulties.
Working Together to Improve Road Safety in South CarolinaBert Louthian
The document discusses the problem of traffic safety in South Carolina and proposes solutions. It notes that South Carolina now has the highest traffic fatality rate in the nation, with a crash every 5 minutes on average. While all drivers are at risk, certain groups face higher risks - teenagers have the highest death rate per miles driven, and pedestrians and cyclists are often in danger. The document recommends identifying traffic hot zones, understanding the main causes of accidents, spreading awareness of safety issues, supporting stronger traffic laws, and sharing safety messages online to help improve the situation.
The Better Driver Campaign was launched by the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) District 7 and the Center for Urban Transportation Research (CUTR) at the University of South Florida (USF) to help truck and passenger car drivers understand and deal with the hazards of aggressive driving. The campaign included billboards, a website, and surveys of drivers which found that "cutting off" was the most upsetting maneuver reported by truck drivers while "tailgating" upset passenger car drivers the most. Surveys also indicated the campaign was successful in increasing awareness of aggressive driving and reducing the number of truck drivers who reported encountering other aggressive drivers daily.
The document describes SplitSecond, a driver safety program for 16-24 year olds in Orange and Seminole Counties, Florida. It aims to positively influence risky driving behaviors through an innovative, technology-based approach that communicates directly with young adults. The program is led by Lennon Moore and Jackie VanderPol and aims to reduce fatalities and injuries in this age group by 40% through online training incentives and collaboration with schools and organizations. It will be evaluated by researchers at the University of Central Florida who will analyze crash statistics before and after the program. The budget to launch the pilot program is $1.2 million.
The document discusses raising the legal driving age from 17 to 21 for teenagers. It provides three key reasons: 1) Teenagers have bad driving habits like texting while driving which increases risks. 2) Raising the age would reduce driving fatalities and accidents as 17-20 year olds are more likely to be killed or injured in crashes per mile driven. 16 year olds have the highest crash rates. 3) Research shows the average teenage brain is not mature until at least age 20-25 which affects risk-taking behavior and decision making abilities.

The document discusses teen driving safety and promotes a GPS tracking device called TeenTrakker that allows parents to monitor their teen's driving behavior. The summary is:
1) Teen driving poses major safety risks, with car accidents being the leading cause of death for teens.
2) A GPS tracking device called TeenTrakker allows parents to monitor their teen's speed, location, and driving habits in real-time to encourage safer driving behavior.
3) When parents communicate clearly with teens about driving expectations and provide supervision, teens are half as likely to get into accidents according to research. TeenTrakker aims to help parents better supervise and educate their teens to reduce risks.
Affordable and user friendly, TeenTrakker is the latest in in digital GPS technology. Experience true peace of mind knowing the exact location of your vehicle and your teen anytime night or day.
This document discusses the dangers and consequences of drinking and driving. It notes that in 2002 there were over 81,000 incidents of impaired driving in Canada. University aged students and those aged 19-24 are most at risk, representing over half of impaired driving accidents. The penalties for drinking and driving are severe, including fines, license suspension, and possible jail time. Programs like ignition interlock systems and the work of MADD aim to curb drinking and driving and emphasize that alcohol and driving should never mix due to the risks.
Human drivers have always been an essential requirement in the operation of a motor vehicle. At the same
time, research has repeatedly demonstrated that driver error plays a role in more than 90% of road crashes
(NHTSA 2008; Blanco et al. 2016). As such, in the past two decades, vehicle manufacturers have designed new
and increasingly sophisticated features that provide more assistance to drivers to help mitigate such errors. Such
features are an important precursor to the development of automated vehicles and, currently, expectations are
high that the advent of semi- or fully- automated vehicles will dramatically reduce road crashes

The document discusses the US highway transportation system and factors that influence safety. It is composed of many interacting human, machine, and environmental elements. The goal is to provide safe, rapid, and efficient transportation while balancing these factors. Key risks include speed, vehicle size mismatches, impaired and distracted driving. Management strategies include licensing, enforcement, engineering, education and emergency response to reduce accidents and deaths over time.
Costs for Fatal Motor Vehicle FatalitiesSean DuBois
Motor vehicle accidents are a leading cause of death in the United States, especially for those aged 5 to 34. A study found the annual cost of fatal motor vehicle accidents in Oregon was $422 million, with most costs coming from lost work. Young adults aged 20 to 34 accounted for the highest costs at $155 million. Various solutions are proposed to reduce accidents and fatalities, such as graduated licensing, sobriety checkpoints, and increased seatbelt enforcement.
Motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death for U.S. teens. The document outlines the main causes of teen crashes and deaths as peer pressure, drunk driving, talking/texting on the phone, having friends in the car, and speeding. Passengers in a teen's car can peer pressure them into risky behavior, like speeding, which increases the risk of accidents. Drunk driving is also a major factor, with teens often drinking and then getting behind the wheel. Using phones while driving is another dangerous distraction that takes teens' eyes off the road.
This document discusses the dangers of distracted driving, particularly texting while driving. It provides statistics showing that texting while driving is more dangerous than drunk driving, and that more people use electronic devices while driving than drive drunk. Headsets are presented as a safer alternative to texting or talking on the phone while driving. Reasons why teens and adults continue to engage in distracted driving are explored.
Texting while driving continues to endanger lives in the US, with 9 people killed daily due to distracted driving. In response, AT&T launched the "It Can Wait" campaign in 2010 to raise awareness of the dangers of texting and driving. Through research, celebrity endorsements, and social media promotion, the campaign urges drivers to pledge not to text while driving. AT&T works with teens and organizations to spread the message and now also addresses additional smartphone distractions like social media use while driving.
Teen drivers, especially inexperienced 16-year-olds, have especially high crash rates in their first months of licensure. Crashes are the leading cause of death among American teens aged 16-19, accounting for nearly a third of all deaths. During their initial period of licensure, teens face a high risk of crashing due to their inexperience and immaturity as drivers. Several groups are working to address this issue through initiatives that promote safe driving practices for teen drivers and their parents. Suggested approaches include supervised practice driving, restricting teen passengers and nighttime driving, and serving as a positive role model.
Riding a motorcycle between two lanes of traffic that are moving slowly or standing still is called lane splitting. It is currently illegal in Virginia. Should it be?
The document discusses the dangers of using a cell phone while driving. It notes that cell phone use reduces drivers' attention and concentration levels, which increases the risk of accidents. Studies show drivers who use cell phones have slower reaction times and are four times more likely to crash than non-distracted drivers. The impairment level is equivalent to driving drunk. The document also compares cell phone use to other distractions like smoking, eating, and radio use, but finds cell phone use poses a greater risk to safety due to the cognitive demand of holding conversations.
Community Car (Cc) is a proposed transportation service for elderly individuals that would also serve as a job training program for former offenders. Cc aims to reduce traffic accidents involving elderly drivers by providing them transportation alternatives. It would train former offenders to become certified drivers through a state-mandated program, allowing them to work off fines and fees. This would create a skilled labor force for elder care while improving public safety and saving taxpayer dollars. Insurance companies would subsidize the program since it would lower their accident claims costs. The founder argues Cc could be replicated across states to address the growing needs of the elderly population and reform the criminal justice system.
There are many car crashes every day that injure people, damage property, and separate families. Younger drivers aged 15-29 and older adults over 80 have the highest risks of injuries from crashes. The average costs of emergency room visits and hospitalizations from crashes are $3,300 and $57,000, respectively, with 75% of costs occurring in the first 18 months. While crash numbers and costs have decreased in recent years due to safety efforts, there is still room for improvement through effective prevention techniques recommended by the CDC, such as sobriety checkpoints, ignition locks, improved licensing systems, and seat belt laws.
This document discusses measuring achievement gaps between schools, presenting examples of schools with gaps of 53 points and 99 points on standardized tests and asking if these would be good schools to lead. It suggests that the size of the achievement gap tells a story and questions how school leaders are telling their school's story as defined by this gap.

The presentation will cover Monte Carlo simulation, stochastic global optimization, and two case studies - one on robust design of a shut-off valve spring force and another on catapult variation reduction. DiscoverSim allows users to perform Monte Carlo simulation and stochastic optimization to quantify risk and minimize variation when there is uncertainty in input variables. It uses various algorithms like DIRECT, genetic algorithm, and sequential quadratic programming for optimization. The tool helps engineers achieve robust parameter design goals in Design for Six Sigma.
Au psy492 xe_m7_a2_behavior and lack of nutritionRoberta Simpkin
Lack of proper nutrition can lead to negative behaviors according to the literature reviewed. Poor nutrition is linked to issues like underachievement, withdrawal from society, and inability to be happy. Specifically, nutritional deficiencies early in development can impact serotonin levels and lead to problems with stress regulation, aggression, and depression later in life. Maintaining a balanced diet with adequate nutrients and social activities is important for preventing behavioral issues and promoting well-being.
This document provides a case scenario for a client named Sabina seeking counseling and outlines a counseling student's plans and considerations for her weekly counseling sessions over 4 weeks using different therapeutic approaches. In week 1, the student observes their supervisor's initial meeting with Sabina and notes the importance of empowering her and helping her understand herself. Weeks 2 and 3 focus on using psychoanalytic, Adlerian, person-centered and gestalt approaches to build rapport, identify Sabina's strengths and resistance, and help her make her own decisions. Week 4 employs behavioral and cognitive behavioral therapy to address Sabina's current problems and irrational thoughts. The overarching goals are for Sabina to understand herself better and overcome her depression.
The document discusses important considerations for conducting interviews in psychology. It states that the context and situation of an interview will influence the process. The interviewer must think about how to meet the expectations of the interviewee and be flexible to changing environments. The purpose of the interview, whether with a client, applicant, or student, provides context. Ideal interview locations provide appropriate space, lighting, and comfort, though locations may vary. The time and setting of an interview can impact outcomes, so considering factors like time of day, day of week, and cultural traditions is important. Preparation helps reduce pressure for both interviewer and interviewee. Settings should build confidence without distractions or bias and look professional.
This document discusses ethics in psychology. It notes that while the author has gained knowledge on ethics through their course, they do not feel qualified to suggest changes to ethics codes, which were established by experts. It also emphasizes that ethics codes provide guidance for counselors and psychologists to make ethical decisions and establish trust with clients. Finally, it stresses that counselors should set goals with clients through open communication and involvement of both parties.
A group of parents in a neighborhood were concerned about gang violence, drug dealing, and other unsafe conditions. They decided to take action by holding weekly meetings and inviting a community intervention specialist to develop a plan. The presentation outlines strategies for an effective intervention program, including involving schools, parents, and the community to address violence and its consequences. It suggests developing self-esteem, communication skills, and offering self-defense classes to foster resilience and protect against victimization. The program aims to be inclusive of all ages, genders, and diverse groups in the community.
The document discusses the design of a study to test the persuasive power of a pro-recycling public service announcement. It outlines how the researcher would recruit and assign participants to experimental and control groups, what the control group would do, defines the independent and dependent variables, and discusses measures of persuasiveness including self-reported surveys, unobtrusive behavioral measures, and the advantages and disadvantages of each. It notes that confidence in results would be stronger with 200 participants versus only 10 due to a broader sample.

Indian Premier League (IPL) ---2024.pptxrathinikunj60
The Indian Premier League (IPL) is one of the most prominent and lucrative Twenty20 (T20) cricket leagues in the world. Since its inception in 2008, the IPL has revolutionized the landscape of cricket by blending sports, entertainment, and commerce. This summary provides an overview of the IPL's history, structure, notable performances, controversies, and its impact on cricket and beyond.
History and Formation
The IPL was launched by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) in 2008, inspired by the success of domestic T20 leagues like the English T20 Cup and the now-defunct Indian Cricket League (ICL). Lalit Modi, the then Vice-President of BCCI, played a crucial role in conceptualizing and launching the league. The inaugural season kicked off in April 2008 with eight franchises representing different cities in India.
Structure and Format
The IPL follows a franchise-based model, where teams are owned by a mix of corporations, Bollywood stars, and other high-profile individuals. The league originally started with eight teams, although the number has fluctuated over the years due to various reasons including expansions and terminations. As of the latest seasons, the IPL features ten teams.
The tournament format includes a double round-robin stage, where each team plays the others twice, followed by playoffs. The top four teams from the round-robin stage qualify for the playoffs, which consist of two qualifiers, an eliminator, and the final. This format ensures a highly competitive and engaging tournament, culminating in a grand finale to crown the champion.
Teams and Their Evolution
The founding teams of the IPL were:
Chennai Super Kings (CSK)
Delhi Daredevils (now Delhi Capitals)
Kings XI Punjab (now Punjab Kings)
Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR)
Mumbai Indians (MI)
Rajasthan Royals (RR)
Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB)
Deccan Chargers (now defunct, replaced by Sunrisers Hyderabad)
Over the years, the league has seen new teams such as Pune Warriors India, Kochi Tuskers Kerala, Gujarat Lions, and Rising Pune Supergiant. The most recent additions are the Gujarat Titans and Lucknow Super Giants, introduced in the 2022 season.
Iconic Players and Performances
The IPL has attracted the best talent from around the world, with numerous iconic players making significant contributions. Some of the standout performers include:
Sachin Tendulkar (MI): The "Little Master" brought his legendary status to the IPL, winning the Orange Cap (top run-scorer) in 2010.
Chris Gayle (RCB, KXIP): Known for his explosive batting, Gayle holds the record for the highest individual score in an IPL match (175*).
MS Dhoni (CSK): Dhoni's leadership has been instrumental in CSK's success, leading them to multiple titles.
AB de Villiers (RCB): Renowned for his innovative stroke play, de Villiers has been a consistent match-winner.
Virat Kohli (RCB): The highest run-scorer in IPL history, Kohli's batting prowess is unmatched.

When I was a little girl, there was a horrible accident involving a car and some young
people who did not survive. I didn’t go down to the corner of the block like the other
people to see it but I’ve always remembered it and what I heard about it; young people,
traveling too fast and not obeying safety rules. The question I have chosen is: “Should
people under 18 be subjected to restricted driving privileges?”
I say Yes because there have been far too many fatalities involving young drivers. I
would first like to give my views on this matter and then we will consider the evidence
supporting this claim with arguments from peer-related articles.
My personal opinion is yes, young people under the age of 18 should be subjected to
restricted driving privileges. The reasons I feel this way are many. I’ve had personal
tragedies in my own family associated with automobile accidents, all involving drivers
under the age of 18. I had a cousin, age 17 who was involved in a very tragic automobile
accident a few years ago. The factors in the crash involved speeding, wet roads, and a lot
of other young people in the car. They could have been talking loud, listening to the
radio playing too loud, and not obeying safety rules which would have been a distraction
to the driver.
Another example of a young driver was the grandson of a friend of mine. He too was 17
and ran through a stop sign. An oncoming car hit his car. He did not survive. Another
case was the cousin of my neighbor who tried to beat a train by crossing the railroad
tracks. Another tragic case involved two cars drag racing near a local church. All three
young people in one car did not survive and two of them were brothers.
A friend of mine once told me, “You cannot put an old head on a young body”. When a
young person begins to drive, I feel they tend to overestimate their abilities. Driving an
automobile is a privilege and also requires years of experience. A lot of young people do
not take driving lessons and I am an advocate of that. They are taught by family
members or friends and then think they can just go out and drive.
I would like to see all states in the U.S. make it mandatory for young people to be at least
19 years of age before obtaining a driver’s license. I really don’t see the need for high
school students to drive themselves to school, leave the car parked in the hot sun all day,
and then drive themselves home. I rode the school bus until I graduated from high school
and then I worked and saved my money to get a car and pay for car insurance.
Not all young people are bad drivers. Some are more responsible than others. But
experience takes years and years of driving ability. I don’t feel restrictions on driving
privileges are discriminatory against young teenage drivers. I feel it’s for their own
protection as well as other people too. It is the parent’s responsibility to monitor their

young teens but some parents do not, so this law would be necessary to keep everyone
safe.
Some teenagers have jobs, but I drove my daughter to her job or if that is not possible,
there is public transportation. I know in other countries that the driving laws are different
but this is the U.S. I cannot control foreign countries. I am concerned with my country.
Teenagers can also drink alcohol under the age of 21 in foreign countries and we’ve seen
where that can lead. Site the recent example of Natalie Holloway who was vacationing
with her class in Aruba.
The following is evidence that supports the argument and I think this evidence supports
my claim. In the article, “Age performance relationships among accident-repeater
automobile drivers”, it states, “It has been reported that drivers under the age of twenty-
five showed accident records that were several times higher than would be expected from
the number of such young drivers to be found among the driving population. It suggests
that there are two factors involved among these young drivers. First, coordination, vision
and other driving abilities and, second, attitudinal factors such as over-confidence and
carelessness”, (EBSCO PsycARTICLES database).
In “Review of alcohol, young drivers, and traffic accidents”, it states, “In the early 1970s,
the drinking age was lowered in most of the U.S. and Canada. As the data on increasing
traffic accidents accumulated, people began to call for the relaxation of restrictions to be
reversed. Between 1976 and 1983, many states began to move their minimum drinking
age upward. Most of this is devoted to a study of the effects of this reversal in two states,
Michigan and Maine. These particular states were easily studied because they maintained
good records on accidents and liquor sales prior to the lowering of the drinking age,
during the period when more young drivers were drinking, and after the drinking age was
raised. The research presented is a clear and well-controlled time-series study of the
estimated shifts in crash involvement and beverage distribution”, (EBSCO
PsycARTICLES database). Also, it states, “Motor vehicle accidents are the leading cause
of death among youths aged 15-25. Moreover, human factors are important in the
majority of accidents, and accident severity is directly related to alcohol. Given that ours
is a society in which persons are expected as adults to be able to drink socially and to
handle themselves competently while under the effects of alcohol, it is difficult to
understand how young adults gain this experience”, (EBSCO PsycARTICLES database).
In AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety, it stated, “Young drivers, particularly 16- and 17-
year-olds have been a significant road safety and health concern for decades in Canada
and the U. S. because of their high risk of collision involvement. The factors that place
them at greater risk have, generally, been grouped into two categories: 1) age-related
factors, such as exuberance, risk-taking behavior, peer pressure, and sensation and thrill

Final
seeking, and 2) experience-related factors such as psychomotor skills, perception of
hazards, judgment, and decision-making. Graduated driver licensing (GDL) seeks to
reduce the crash risk for young drivers by providing novices with greater opportunities to
practice under supervision as well as limiting their exposure to risky conditions and
circumstances while they mature and gain experience. This is achieved by imposing
restrictions, such as limiting unsupervised driving at night or transporting teenage
passengers, which lowers the risk of crashing. Over the past two decades, some version
of GDL has been implemented in all jurisdictions in the U. S. and most jurisdictions in
Canada. Research has consistently shown that these programs are effective in reducing
collisions involving young drivers. At the same time, however, young drivers, who are
protected by the GDL system, continue to crash at substantially higher rates than mature
drivers. The current investigation, involving two related studies, attempted to determine
why this is so--it addressed the reasons young drivers continue to crash, even when under
GDL provisions”, (EBSCO, PsycEXTRA database).
Adolescents are more likely than older people to engage in risky driving practices, and
some young people are particularly prone to risky driving. Young beginners combine
risky driving practices with driving inexperience, greatly heightening crash risk. The
young driver problem is acute in the United States because licensure is allowed at very
young ages, and the path to full driving privileges is quick and easy. Risky driving is tied
to developmental and lifestyle factors and is difficult to change. The traditional
approaches of driver education and penalty-based licensing systems have not worked
adequately. Graduated licensing systems now are being considered by many states and
have been adopted by some. These systems do not address risk factors directly but are
structured to provide beginners the opportunity to gain initial on-road experience outside
of situations that have more driving difficulty and therefore more risk and/or that
encourage risk taking. Graduates are older and on their way to maturing out of risky
driving tendencies, and they will have accumulated important driving experience under
protected conditions. The initial graduated systems adopted in the United States vary
substantially in their features. It will be important to evaluate the effect of these systems
in reducing young driver crashes and to determine which set of provisions is optimal in
terms of both acceptability and effectiveness, (Argosy EBSCO database).
Objectives. We describe intervention effects on parent limits on novice teenage driving.
Methods. We recruited parents and their 16-year-old children with learner's permits and
randomized them from August 2000 to March 2003. Intervention families received
persuasive newsletters related to high-risk teenage driving and a parent-teenager driving
agreement; comparison families received standard information on driver safety. We
conducted interviews when the adolescents obtained a learner's permit, upon licensure,
and at 3, 6, and 12 months post licensure.
5. 5
Final
Results. Intervention parents and teenagers reported stricter limits on teen driving
compared with the comparison group at 12 months, with direct effects through 3 months
and indirect effects through 12 months post licensure.
Conclusions. A simple behavioral intervention was efficacious in increasing parental
restriction of high-risk teen driving conditions among newly licensed drivers, (American
Public Health, 2005, 1995, 447-452, EBSCO Psychology and Behavioral Sciences
database).
The field of knowledge most closely associated with the study of argument is logic.
Those terms that signify the parts of an argument are the premises and the conclusion.
The premise here is “People under 18 should be subjected to restricted driving
privileges.” The conclusion is “There would be less driving fatalities involving people
under the age of 18 if the law in the U.S. stated the legal age to drive was 19”, (Argosy,
2010).
