DE SECOND ASSIGNMENT

Type 1 Mickey Rentas Jr. The second assignment is to choose 3 numbers between 1-62, then 3 numbers between 63-150 and 3 numbers between 150-223. Once you have the numbers chosen go to pages 52-54 in the your car is a monster book and find what risks are associated with your numbers. Post these 9 risks and describe your thoughts on whether a crash could occur while driving with these 9 risks. Could any of these risks been eliminated or minimized to avoid a collision?



The 9 risks that randomly I chose were:

• improper loading of vehicle-Prevented by checking and unloading


• oversized tires-Prevented by cheking and deflating


• occupants in the back seat-N/A Prevention


• attended keg party-Prevented by not going


• consumed alchoholic drinks-Prevented by just not doing it/-Minimize by drinking less


• designer drugs (consumed I suppose)-Prevented by not having utter stupidity


• wearing large hooded coat (with the hood over my head I think)-Prevented by not wearing it/-Minimized by not wearing the hood


• elderly podestrian crossing-N/A Prevention


• loose gravel on road-N/A Prevention

Based on these 9 risks, I came to the conclusion that an accident could occur which could be fatal. What I think would happen is that be rowdy and drunk, high off I don't even know what, me and my buds (my friends and the drinks) are driving home after a party. I'm driving my dads work van with a good amount of heavy machinery in the back and haphazardly strapped to the top. I'm wearing a large hooded coat and I'm coming up to a pedestrian X-ing. Now if there had been a pedesrtian cossing, I wouldn't have seem him/her at first. At the last second either I or my friends would have noticed her, with my immediate reaction being swerve out of the way while hitting the breaks., but with me overinflated tires, loose gravel on the road and my imporperly heavy amount of wait in the back, sending the car into a wild spinout, with the eventual death roll due to me speed. Some of us might have had the sense of putting our seatbelts even though we were drunk, but somebody will probably die either by being flung from the vehicle or on our impact with an object.

DE First assignment

Type 1 Mickey Rentas Jr. Your first assignment for the next class will be to use the news feeds in this blog and find an article that pertains to traffic safety and post it to your blog and write a short reaction summary to the article. You will need to copy and paste your article to your post.

I don't know if I could even write a summary shorter than this story which seems like a summary in itself. It seems kind of superfluous, but here it goes. On a Ludlow purn pike, some old guy, one Harlod Palmer crashed his car into some woman on purpose. They were both wearing seatbelts which relates this article to trafic safety, for none of them got hurt as they crashed into some trees. This Thursday the man will go to court.
