...Vision, who witnessed our client Mary Jane’s accident, and determine where Mr. Vision was in association with the accident, the approximate speed of the other vehicle, the weather conditions and any other information that would be useful in either shifting liability or alleging contributory negligence on the part of plaintiff/driver. Analysis of the Interview I contacted Mr. Mark Vision on March 4, 2002. He is an African American male, very tall with a slim build. He wore business casual clothes and he seemed a little nervous, but he was very respectful and well mannered. He was very forthcoming with all of the questions he was asked in the interview. He seemed very truthful and reliable and answered every question with a matter-of- fact attitude. He remembered the entire accident very vividly. He would make a favorable witness for our case, because he feels that Ms. Jane is not guilty. Mr. Vision advised me that he was on the way to work at his part-time job Saturday March 18, 2002. The reason he did not give a statement at the time of the accident, was because he is the Manager and had to be at the company early to let the other workers in and didn’t want to keep them waiting. But Mr. Vision did give the Police his contact information. It was raining that morning, so the roads were wet and slippery. Mr. Vision was driving in his Toyota truck about two car lengths behind Mr. Weston on Benson Street right before the accident. Mr. Vision was driving about 25 to 27 miles...

...ACCIDENT ESSAYS It was a very cold morning as it had been raining very heavily the previous night. As my mother was feeling a little under the weather, my sister volunteered to drive me to school. I had overslept and as a result, was running a bit late for school. We got into the car hurriedly. The road was already congested with traffic. It appeared that everyone was late as well. My sister was a careful driver and despite the fact I was already late, she refused to drive fast on the slippery road. I was lucky she was such a resolute and careful person because a few hundred meters away from the school, we witnessed a tragic accident. it all happened very quickly, as most accidents do. A car full of school children had made a left turning without signaling and as a result a school bus crashed into it. A few cars behind the school bus rammed into the bus as they could not brake in time and soon it became a pile up. The already congested road became jammed with vehicles that came to a crawl. I told my sister that I wanted to help the victims and she nodded silently. She brought the car to a halt not too far from the accident spot. The scene that greeted us was something I would never forget. It left an indelible imprint in my mind to date. The impact of the accident had plunged three school children out of the car. The driver, a lady, lay lifeless on the steering wheel. I rushed to the children who were preschoolers. Two of them were seriously hurt and bleeding profusely from...

...“A witness says the driver of a pickup truck collided with a church minibus in rural Texas, killing 13 people, acknowledged he had been texting while driving” I listen to this as I sit on my phone while my mom watches the news. I look up to see an image of two cars completely destroyed. “Witnesses say that the driver was erratically driving across the road”. The death of these 13 people was caused because of the choices of someone else, texting while driving, something that is legal in Texas and three other states allowing the freedom of deadly crashes like this to occur. Many people believe that texting while driving is multitasking, but research has shown that multitasking is when you are switching your attention from one thing to the...

...Red Light Cameras Proposition Paper Violeta Gonzalez Introduction Red light cameras have been created to decrease car accidents and increase the safety at intersections. The red light cameras have increased so it can be easy to enforce citizens to not pass a red light at intersections. More than 400 cities in United States have enforced red light cameras. But yet there have been disadvantages and advantages toward red light cameras. Red Light Cameras A red light camera is a camera that photographs a vehicle when it runs a red light an intersection. It has been in use since 1986. It becomes active once the signal light turns red. Photographs are taken from front and rear of the vehicle. Once the camera captures a photograph of a person passing a red light a citation is sent home through mail to the registered owner of the vehicle. Disadvantages of having red light cameras are increasing rear-end accidents, ticket recipients are not notified, driver not being identified and invasion of privacy. Rear-accidents are being increased because it makes the driver in the front hit the brake once the light is yellow and the car behind it has not enough time to brake. Most drivers are scared to run a red light and don’t want to get a ticket. Another reason is that recipients aren’t being notified as soon as possible. The government sends the ticket as first class. They assume that the driver gets it. The case may be that the driver never got it or the government assumes that...

...People believe that looking down at a phone for three seconds is okay and will not cause harm. They are wrong; texting while driving causes more accidents than other distractions while driving. There are also laws that forbid the use of a cell phone while operating a vehicle. Texting and driving is an action that kills more people than expected. Due to the lack of concentration on the first-hand action; a slowed reaction is brought upon the driver. Texting and driving is a problem because of the delayed reaction time of someone who is driving a car. “Using a cell phone while driving, whether it’s handheld or hands-free, delays a driver’s reactions as much as having a blood alcohol concentration at the legal limit of .08 percent” (2009, University of Utah). Driving while texting is similar to driving while intoxicated because of the delayed reaction time, but texting while driving is much worse. When a person is driving under the influence of alcohol, they are, for the most part, still focusing on the road; whereas a person who is texting is paying more attention to their phone than on the road. Therefore, most accidents are caused from texting while driving. When going through Drivers Education, or a driving school, drivers are taught to keep their hands at the ”ten and two position” on the steering wheel and their eyes on the road. With texting being more common, now people try to multi-task texting while they are driving. “49% of drivers with cell phones under the age of...

I beg everyone to listen carefully to my statements. Do not disregard this plead; it may save your life and others’ lives . I know that you may be rolling your eyes. However, even YOU can be a victim of an accident that resulted from texting and driving. When individuals text and drive, they are have greater chances of crashing. By texting and driving, people are tremendously impaired. To be a safe driver, people must pay attention to the road and be aware of upcoming dangers. Drivers are not conscious of traffic, pedestrians, signs, or changes when they are texting. When eyes are taken off the road, the driver has no control over the direction they are going in and are at risk. In the blink of an eye, an accident may suddenly occur. This may have happened because of ONE text message. Is answering a text message more important than preventing critical injuries and deaths? If someone died in an accident because of a car accident, imagine how heartbreaking that would be. Imagine if your friend, sibling, parent, or child died in a car crash due to a text message of all things. It is unquestionably tragic because the person could have achieved...

...found him guilty and sentenced him to death. In January 1967, while waiting on his new trial Ruby died of lung cancer in a Dallas hospital. Conspiracy theories have risen since John F. Kennedy’s assassination in Dallas Texas. Did a Secret Service Agent Kill JFK by Accident? This theory developed suggested that a Secret Service agent in the car right behind President Kennedy fired his rifle by accident, hitting JFK in the head. After carefully investigating it is a proven fact that JFK was shot from behind but by Oswald rifle. It would have been impossible for George Hickey [secret service agent] to shoot him and nobody around hickey to notice. The conspiracy theory was just that a theory. Most of the evidence supported by this theory was given by Howard Donahue in the seventies. Howard Donahue was a Baltimore gunsmith who's evidence went into a book called mortal error. All of Howard's evidence focused on the final shoot to the presidents brain. At the end of his investigation Howard conclude that George Hickey accidentally...
