...One of the most common occurrences in a person’s everyday life is driving a vehicle but do you ever take a second to think about what harm you can possibly cause. I am sure at one point or another you have been driving and seen another driver and then asked yourself “what is this person doing. “ At the age of 16 Americans are required to take an exam to show they have the knowledge required to operate a vehicle as well as six months of driving with a guardian. Most see this test as satisfactory but with the driving seen on the roads every day I tend to believe otherwise. No matter the age of the driver there are bad skills being demonstrated whether it be the older gentleman going slow in the fast lane or not using the proper turn signal it would be the young kid who just got their license speeding everywhere they go. It is not everyone who has poor driving skills and for the people who drive safely a switch in how we regulate who is allowed behind the wheel could decide how we look at vehicles from now on. What needs to be changed so that safe driving will be a more frequent occurrence is not the way we issue licenses but how the general population is never re-examined on their driving skills after the age of sixteen. Would you be willing to take a re-examination test of your driving skills knowing that you would be saving lives by creating a safer driving environment? A re-examination of all drivers can make the roads safer for everyone. Currently there is only a re-examination...

...guarantee. Not only was the guarantee popular with its customers, it also set Domino’s apart from its numerous rivals in a highly competitive and crowded business.2 Domino’s Pizza was founded in 1960 when two brothers, Tom and Jim Monaghan purchased a pizza store in Ypsilanti, Michigan. A year later Jim traded his half of the business to his brother for a Volkswagen Beetle and Tom Monaghan became sole owner. By 1983, the company had expanded to 1000 restaurants. Ten years later the company was well on its way to owning over 4000 outlets within the United States, and over 500 outside the United States. In addition, over 1000 Domino’s Pizza restaurants were owned by others as franchise operations. Domino’s had become the fastest growing pizza company in the world. Analysts felt that the key to Domino’s rapid expansion was a promotion that it launched in 1984: guaranteed 30-minute delivery. Initially, the company advertised that if pizza was not delivered within 30 minutes it was free. This was later changed to a guarantee of delivery within 30 minutes or a $3 refund. The company required all franchisees in the United States to sign a contract agreeing to use the 30minute guarantee. Driver training manuals made the...

... “Our society needs constant stimulation. How else can you describe music in elevators?” While driving, people are doing exactly what Dr. Bollmann claimed, seeking stimulation. People will pull out their phones while driving just to keep themselves entertained. Dr. Gary Small, a professor of psychiatry at UCLA, said, “In a sense our brains are hardwired to text. We want to stay connected to others and we’ve found this device that we have with us all the time that allows us to connect with others.” People find it necessary to be talking or texting with friends always, including behind the wheel. A study shown that 33 percent of drivers from the ages 18-64, in the U.S., reported that they were reading or writing text messages while driving. The problem this world is facing is; how do we prevent further usage of cellular devices in cars?...

...believe or not there are companies out there that are willing to pay for you to drive with a type of advertising on it. It seems to be a new way of advertising a product in a car for a small company or a large. If you think about it while you driving you car through the busiest street of Miami and you see a car painted with eye popping graphics of a company or a product, it will grab your attention, and that it is exactly what companies are trying to do, To target people in their cars or people doing some type of outdoors activities, the key here it is to grab your attention. I’m sure most of you have seen the Red Bull Car or Monster energy Truck; they were one of the first ones to come out with that Idea, but both are using different ideas, red bull putting a giant Red Bull can on top and Monster using Big monsters truck to promote their energy drink. It is easy to see them in any type of organization or charity or competition. Why? Because in order to promote a product, you need to show it to the public, and what a better way than to do it in a car, where hundreds of people will see it. Now, back to the article, there are two ways in which companies will pay you to show off their products in a car. One is by placing advertising in your own car using some type of vinyl adhesive, and they will pay you a monthly salary or they will provide you with a car that it is completely painted with the company product, and the requirements vary depending on the company, but most of them will...

...Drivers may retrieve the credentials from the confiscating officer within 15 days once they correct any safety violations. Virginia defines reckless driving as any driver actions that endanger people or property. Reckless driving is a Class One misdemeanor in Virginia. If the state finds a driver does not have a driver’s license or caused a fatality due to reckless driving, the state will charge them with a Class 6 felony -- a penalty that may result in a year or more of jail time. The driver will also receive a minimum fine of $250. Virginia requires drivers to stop at red lights and stop signs. If the other lights have gone through two cycles, two minutes have passed or the light is out of service drivers may continue through the intersection as if the light were a stop sign. Running a red light or stop sign in Virginia can result in arrest and a maximum fine of $250. Virginia requires all front seat passengers wear seatbelts. The state makes some exceptions to this rule: Drivers with a physician’s...

...Handbook Online - Introduction Contents Getting Your Driver's Licence Safe and Responsible Driving Traffic Signs and Lights Keeping Your Driver's Licence Your Vehicle The Level Two Road Test Driver's Handbook Online Introduction Ontario's goal is to make its roads the safest in North America, and that's why the Ministry of Transportation has introduced a range of measures to improve the behaviour of all drivers, including new ones. In 1999, more than 860 people were killed and more than 84,000 injured on Ontario roads. The social and economic costs of these collisions have been previously estimated at $9 billion annually. Many collisions are caused by driver error - behaviour like following too closely, speed too fast, failure to yield the right of way, and improper turns and lane changes. And statistics show that new drivers of all ages are far more likely than experienced drivers to be involved in serious or fatal collisions. Ontario campaigns against drinking and driving, aggressive driving and promoting the correct use of seat belts and child safety seats are making a difference. Graduated licensing, which lets new drivers gain skills and experience in low-risk environments, is also helping to develop better, safer drivers. The Driver's Handbook Online gives new drivers the basic information they need about learning to drive in Ontario: the rules of the road, safe driving practices and how to get their licence to drive a car, van or small truck. The ministry recommends...

...Speed limits need to be raised, there is not much else to say about it. A higher speed limit would lessen time spent driving places, and increase the flow of traffic tremendously. Crash rates would go down due to people not having to worry about disobeying the law. Roads would be smoother, for reason that cars traveling at higher rates of speed require safer and smoother surfaces for safer travel. And with safer travel we will have faster travel In the article, “Raise the Speed Limit” the author speaks about a certain highway in Texas that has the highest marked speed limit in the entire country. The road is marked at 85 miles per hour, which saves a total of nine minutes in between the two governing towns that are trying to stay relevant and up to speed with the quickly increasing wave of urbanization. To add, crash rates have been decreasing substantially since 2011, which is big considering it is the lowest since 1949. With increasing speed limits and increasing technology within cars, there will be increasing opportunities for critics to say that raising speed limits will raise death rates. In “Higher Speed Limits May Save Lives”, the author addresses that statistics show, more than half of highway crashes are not caused by speed that is...

...Executive Summary: Google, want to venture into the self-driving cars, they announced that it is building a vehicle without a steering wheel or role for a driver. The thing is that Google technology has not been able to successfully switch control back and forth from automated driving to the driver in an emergency and does not expect to be able to accomplish that soon, also technology is to expensive. Other companies building autonomous cars said that they are working on vehicles that will be able to safely make that switch. Volvo says that it expects to have its cars tested on city streets by 2020. The Google management team faced several questions. Should Google continue to invest in the technology behind self-driving cars? How could Google's core software-based and search business benefit from self-driving car technology? As large auto manufacturers began to invest in automotive technology themselves, could Google compete? Was this investment of time and resources worth it for Google? Environmental Scanning (external and internal analysis): PEST Analysis After reading the case study Google car I have used the PEST analysis model in which the following was concluded: 1. Political Factors: Government’s regulations on automobile transportation are one of the major aspects in Google's car that have legal barriers. Due to that most of the governments do not have specific laws for self-driving vehicle and there are no federal standards for autonomous cars special permission...
