...INTRODUCTION OF VEHICLE SAFETY CHECKS Combination 1 • Open the bonnet, identify where you would check the engine oil level and tell me how you would check that the engine has sufficient oil. Identify dipstick / oil level indicator, describe checking of oil level against the minimum/maximum markers. • Show me / explain how you would check that the power assisted steering is working before starting a journey. If the steering becomes heavy the system may not be working properly. Before starting a journey two simple checks can be made. Gentle pressure on the steering wheel, maintained while the engine is started, should result in a slight but noticeable movement as the system begins to operate. Alternatively turning the steering wheel just after moving off will give an immediate indication that the power assistance is functioning. Combination 2 • Open the bonnet, identify where you would check the engine coolant level and tell me how you would check that the engine has the correct level. Identify high/low level markings on header tank where fitted or radiator filler cap, and describe how to top up to correct level. • Show me how you would check the parking brake for excessive wear.

...Injury Prevention: Motor Vehicle Injuries and Distracted Driving Among Teen Drivers Heather Stockman Waynesburg University Advanced Health Promotions Judith Adams August, 20, 2013 Injury Prevention: Motor Vehicle Injuries and Distracted Driving Among Teen Drivers Injuries are extremely widespread across society today and unintentional injuries remain among the top 15 killers for people of any age. The majority of people just accept these incidents as accidents, acts of fate, or a part of life although most of the events that result in injury, disability, or death are not only predictable but preventable. Beyond their immediate health consequences, injuries have a major impact on the well-being of society by contributing to premature death, disability, increased medical costs, and lost productivity. In addition, the effects of injury affect not only the injured person but also family members, friends, coworkers, and communities (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 2013). The Injury and Violence Prevention objectives for 2020 include a wide range of issues that can improve the health of the nation if appropriately addressed. One such objective focuses on motor vehicle crashes that are due to distracted driving. This paper will focus on that initiative. INTRODUCTION Distraction is any activity that could divert a person’s attention away from the primary task of driving. There are three main types of distraction. The first is when the driver takes his eyes...

...received an invitation and an informed consent form in order to complete the survey through email or Facebook, which then directed them to a survey generator called Survey Monkey. We created 20 questions for our survey; ten questions were related to stress and the other ten were related to road rage. We used a Likert scale to create our survey. Our data shows that there is a statistical significance between the amounts of stress one experiences to the aggressive behaviors seen in road rage. Our study is important because it shows that people who have a high level of stress display risky driving, so people who see these behaviors in other drivers should be very careful in order to avoid any bad situation. Significance In The Amount Of Stress One Experiences & The Relation To Their Driving Introduction Many people experience different types of stress, and people may express their stress in different ways. Stress is caused by a number things that we deal with on a daily basis. We decided to research whether there was a significance in the amount of stress...

...Note: the following case is copyrighted and may be copied and used only by current users and owners of the textbook, BUSINESS ETHICS: CONCEPTS AND CASES by Manuel Velasquez. Domino’s Delivers In May 1993 Domino’s paid $2.8 million to settle a lawsuit brought by the family of 41-year-old Susan Wauchop who was killed when her van was struck by a Domino’s delivery truck being driven on a highway in rainy weather.1 The family alleged that the 19-year-old driver was speeding to meet Domino’s guarantee to deliver a pizza within 30 minutes. Domino’s argued that weather and road conditions were the real cause of the accident and refused to change its 30-minute 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...

...lanes automatically as it drives itself on the highway. There are car models such as Cadillac and Model S that possess the vehicle-to-vehicle technology with hands-off driving abilities. Such a driverless chauffeuring technology may seem an affront to those who love driving though technology is progressive and irrepressible. Since it is technology-oriented, it sparks mixed reactions among the car users on whether it is implementable or not and the challenges that accompany it. The Emerging Technology of Autonomous Cars The emergent of the autonomous cars in the automobile industry sparks mixed reactions among car users today. Some technology enthusiasts seem to welcome the idea as their ardent counterparts who love driving express skepticism. Autonomous cars have a number of benefits such as steer-by-wire, lane keeping, adaptive cruise control, and stability control. The cars can communicate with each other using vehicle-to-vehicle technology and with the infrastructure. With this technology, individuals who cannot drive will have a way to be mobile. Because of improved technology, many lives that perish on roads due to rampant road carnage will not be lost. The other important benefit of autonomous cars is the improved efficacy of both roads and cars. There will also be offloading of tedious parts of driving. With such a car, there is a possibility of swiftly cutting the engine power by applying brakes. On the other hand, autonomous cars experience some drawbacks such as the...

A successful driver education program helps drivers develop knowledge and performance skills to drive safely. Driving is a privilege, not a right. Drivers have financial and legal requirements plus a responsibility to drive only when physically and mentally capable of controlling the vehicle and making safe decisions. Every driver is personally responsible for their own actions, their vehicle, cargo and the well being of their passengers. If you directly or indirectly cause a collision, you have the potential of being legally and financially responsible, as well as liable for the damage or injuries associated with that collision. When you drive, follow safe driving practices to lower your risk of causing or being in a collision. Remember how...

She received her policy in the mail, reviewed it, and now has questions about her coverage. Her auto policy is located in Appendix B of the text. · Answer her questions by identifying the types and locations of policy provisions in Appendix B, and by describing the purpose of each of the provisions: o I’m not clear about my liability coverage on the Ford and Toyota. I don’t understand why they’re different amounts ($100,000 each person, $300,000 each accident, and $50,000 each accident). What does those amounts mean? If I get into an accident, what does this cover? o If I cause an accident in which I get seriously injured and have to pay related medical bills for, say, two years to come, does my policy cover that? o What if my car is struck by a hit-and-run driver? Will the damages to my car be covered? o We get windstorms where I live and I’ve heard of trees falling on people’s cars and causing substantial damage. Will my insurance cover an event like that? o I’m a very private person. What if I was injured in an accident and had to go to the doctor? Would I have to share my medical records with you? o My driving record is less than perfect. Not that I expect this to happen, but can I continue coverage if my license is revoked?

If they cannot afford insurance for their vehicle, they most likely cannot afford the surcharges that come with it if they end up with a conviction for no insurance on their record. Is this program hindering lower income individuals from their privilege of driving and taking unnecessary monies from their pocket books? Or is it justified in individuals paying for their mistakes? This paper will look at the ethical dilemma of the Texas Driver Responsibility Program and the values and principles of responsibility, justice, fairness, and accountability and will review the role of the public administrators in responding to these questions of values.

...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...
