There are three main types of distracted driving: visual, manual, and cognitive. Texting involves all three as it requires drivers to take their eyes off the road, hands off the wheel, and mind off driving. Studies show texting deteriorates reaction time more than driving drunk. Despite this, 81% of drivers still text while driving due to multitasking, addiction to their phones, and being oblivious to the dangers. Fines for distracted driving are increasingly common but have not significantly reduced the statistics as many drivers are not afraid of getting caught.

Risky Behavior?
The document discusses the dangers of texting while driving and distracted driving. It notes that texting involves all three types of distraction: visual, manual, and cognitive. Studies show texting deteriorates reaction time more than driving drunk. However, 81% of people still text while driving due to factors like multitasking, addiction, and being oblivious to the danger. Fines have been issued to deter the behavior but they do not seem to be effective as many people still take the risk. The document questions if texting while driving truly makes sense.

The document ultimately questions if texting while driving makes sense given the risks.
SHUD
Distracted driving from cell phone use is a major safety problem, causing thousands of accidents and deaths each year. A proposed solution called the SHUD (super head up display) would use voice commands to display information like maps, messages and alerts on a car's windshield using devices already carried by drivers like phones and tablets. The concept involves connecting devices to the car via Bluetooth, WiFi and USB to allow voice control and access functions and apps through the car's interface without requiring the driver to look away from the road.
Texting and driving
Why are there so many preventable accidents and deaths caused by texting and driving? Investigating why people today put themselves and others in danger by texting while driving - a dangerous addiction to digital culture.
Texting and Driving
Texting while driving greatly increases the risk of crashes, as it takes a driver's eyes off the road for about 5 seconds on average - enough time to cover a football field when driving 55mph. Cell phones are responsible for 18% of distraction-related fatalities in the US, and females are twice as likely as males to use electronic devices while driving. Distracted driving is a serious problem, claiming over 3,000 lives in 2012 alone, with those under 20 and texting drivers being especially at risk of crashes due to lack of attention on the road.
Argument Powerpoint
The document argues that texting while driving should be treated as seriously as drunk driving because it can be equally dangerous. It notes that reaction time is slower when texting while driving similar to driving drunk. Surveys show that fines for texting while driving are lower than for DUIs, which some teens see as insignificant. Stories are shared of accidents and deaths caused by texting drivers to emphasize the real risks and push for higher fines to deter the behavior. The goal is for people to understand that texting while driving can kill others on the road and should therefore be prevented.
Texting and driving
This document discusses the dangers of texting while driving. It provides several statistics showing that texting while driving significantly increases braking distances and is more dangerous than driving drunk. The document urges readers not to text and drive, as it risks not only one's own life but the lives of others on the road. Alternatives like calling or pulling over are suggested to communicate until it is safe to resume driving without distractions.
Be Safe, Not Sorry
The document argues that seat belts save lives and reduce injuries, yet many people still do not wear them. It provides statistics showing that seat belts reduce serious crash injuries and deaths by 50% and the risk of fatal injury is reduced by 45% for those in the front seat when seat belts are used. Not wearing a seat belt can result in jail time, injuries, death, and setting a bad example for young people. The document encourages taking responsibility for one's own safety and that of others by always wearing a seat belt.

The Airline Survey - Rebranding? It works on them, not me
The document summarizes the results of a survey about the reputation of Malaysia Airlines in Europe following two plane crashes. The key findings are:
1) Malaysia Airlines has a negative reputation in Europe and scores below average on safety compared to other airlines. 17% would not consider flying with them.
2) Most Europeans (64%) feel Malaysia Airlines handled the plane crashes well through honest communication and empathy.
3) When asked what it would take to change perceptions, respondents said "rebranding works on other airlines, not Malaysia Airlines," implying a name change would be needed to rebuild trust.
The Dangers of Missouri Aggressive Driving
Aggressive driving is a much broader concept that many realize. If we can begin to understand the real dangers of aggressive driving, we can hopefully improve the overall impact it has on traffic safety. Learn more about the dangers of Missouri aggressive driving in this presentation.
The Dangers of Missouri Aggressive Driving
The most recent statistics compiled on aggressive driving show that speeding is the most common potentially-aggressive action by far. In fact, nearly one of every three fatal crashes over the period studied involved a driver who was reported to have been speeding or driving too fast for the road or weather conditions. Half of the fatal crashes involving aggressive actions were single-vehicle crashes. Of the 119,475 fatalities reported as a result of potentially-aggressive driving, 56.3% were the aggressive drivers themselves 21.6% were their passengers, and 22.1% were occupants of other vehicles and non-motorists.

Texting and driving
This document discusses the dangers of texting while driving. It provides statistics showing that texting while driving has led to over 1 million car crashes annually and is one of the leading causes of death among teenagers. Things like responding to a text can take a driver's eyes off the road for up to 5 seconds, equivalent to driving the length of a football field blind. While many young drivers feel they can text safely, research shows they spend a significant amount of time driving outside of their lanes when texting. Laws banning texting while driving are being passed and campaigns aim to educate people, especially teens, about the risks.
Distracted Driving Presentation
The document discusses the dangers of distracted driving, particularly related to cell phone use. It notes that nearly 28% of crashes are attributed to phone use while driving and that texting or talking on the phone quadruples the risk of a crash. While many believe hands-free phone use is safer, research shows no difference in crash risk between hand-held and hands-free phone use. The document encourages readers to take a pledge to stop phoning and driving in order to reduce accidents and save lives.

Managing Risk from the Top to Bottom: How to Safeguard Against Misconduct from C-Suite Level to Regular Employees – and Using HR as a Gatekeeper. Presented at American Conference Institute’s 3rd Asia Pacific Summit on Anti-Corruption, Compliance and Risk Management December 3, 2014, at the Hilton Singapore
Texts lead to Wrecks
Texting while driving is extremely dangerous and illegal in many places. A study found that texting increases the risk of an accident by 23 times compared to non-distracted driving. Teenagers are most likely to text and drive, which has led to many accidents and deaths, especially during prom and graduation season. While most drivers and teens recognize the risks, many still engage in the dangerous behavior and do not speak up when others do. Enforcement of laws against using phones while driving varies by jurisdiction but aims to reduce accidents and save lives.
Suicide
Men die by suicide almost 4 times as often as women, with males using more permanent and lethal methods. While suicide is the 8th leading cause of death for males, it is the 16th leading cause of death for females, with women more likely to make non-lethal cries for help. Statistics show that for every 10 suicide attempts, 1 is successful, with the other 9 resulting in injury. In 2004 in the US, there were over 32,000 total suicide deaths, making it the 11th leading cause of death. The document connects the topic of suicide methods and statistics to the character Tyler from the book Twisted, who was contemplating ways to end his own life.
Texting and Driving
The document discusses the dangers of texting while driving. It notes that it only takes 5 seconds to send a text while driving 55 mph, during which a driver travels the length of a football field blind. Both teenagers and adults commonly text while driving, with around 46% of teenagers and 44% of adults admitting to the behavior. The document shares the story of Amanda, whose text to her sister Ashley led to Ashley getting in a fatal car accident after getting distracted. It concludes by recommending four simple steps to avoid texting and driving: turning off phones before driving, putting phones in trunks, not texting others who are driving, and using apps to disable phones while driving.
Presidential debate 2012
The document provides links to articles comparing presidential candidates Barack Obama and Mitt Romney on various issues from 2012 such as abortion, birth control, gay rights, and housing policy. The articles discuss differences in the candidates' positions and how they addressed these topics during the presidential campaign and debates.
Teen driving project
Jenesa Branford's teen driving project focuses on the issue of drunk driving. Drunk driving poses high risks for teen drivers due to lowered reaction times and a false sense of invincibility. Statistics show that 16-19 year olds have crash rates 2.7 times higher than all ages and alcohol-related crashes for this age group are almost twice as high. Two groups working to address this problem are Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD), which prevents underage drinking and supports victims, and Students Against Destructive Decisions (SADD), which educates students on resisting peer pressure through meetings and presentations. Jenesa proposes additional technological solutions like cars that can detect impaired driving and automatically call for help

The author suggests stronger laws and consequences may be needed to discourage cell phone use while driving.
Teen crashes and collisions assignment 5.02 mitchell muller
Traffic crashes are the leading cause of death for teenagers in the US, with nearly 4,000 drivers aged 15-20 involved in fatal crashes in 2013. The majority of crashes occur due to teens' lack of experience, distractions, and errors. Several groups are working to address this issue, such as the National Safety Council's HEARTS Network which supports families affected by teen crashes. Ideas to reduce crashes include requiring more supervised practice hours before licensing and technology to disable phones while driving except for emergencies.
Distracted driving
This document discusses the risks and increasing trend of texting while driving, as well as efforts to curb this dangerous behavior. It notes that over 1.4 trillion text messages were sent worldwide in the first 3 months of 2010, and that number is projected to rise to 6.5 trillion by the end of the year. In 2010, 17,000 drivers in Toronto were charged for distracted driving offenses related to texting. While apps have been created to prevent texting while driving, it remains unclear how effective they are at changing behaviors. Some drivers continue to ignore laws against texting and driving, putting others at risk.
The Mobile Media Addiction
Mobile media and social networking services have made people feel the need to constantly check updates to feel important. This addiction has dangerous effects, as texting while driving significantly increases accident risks. Additionally, lost or stolen smartphones allow access to personal information and banking details, becoming a new threat for robberies. Excessive use of these services also blurs information value and compromises privacy as location data is tracked without user awareness.

Digital Privacy flipbook
This document discusses the history and current state of internet privacy. It notes that privacy laws originated with the US Bill of Rights in 1790, but did not account for internet privacy. The 1986 Electronic Communications Privacy Act tried to protect online privacy. However, maintaining privacy online is difficult. Various surveys found that most users do not think it is possible to be anonymous online and do not feel current laws adequately protect privacy. New privacy laws are needed as internet growth is being hindered due to privacy concerns. Many users take steps to remove their digital footprint or have had reputations damaged by online content. Facebook frequently changes its privacy policies to share more user information. Overall, the document argues that internet users need to advocate together for stronger privacy protections

Do’s and Don’ts on Safe Driving
Car accidents are the leading cause of death for people in both developed & less developed countries. Automobile technology may have improved by leaps & bounds in terms of ensuring road safety & convenience but because of human error, the grim statistics on vehicular accidents continue to up. The way to reduce the risk of being involved in an accident then is to practice safe driving behaviors.

As internet usage increases, more personal information is being shared online through social media and other sites. However, many users are unaware of how their private data is being used by companies and may be vulnerable to identity theft. To help address this critical issue, people need to be better educated about privacy risks online, learn to recognize phishing attempts, and avoid oversharing sensitive information wherever possible to help protect themselves in our increasingly digital world.
