There is more of a case to raise the driving age due to the accident rates. The insurance premiums for young new drivers is very high because the insurers have calculated the risk. They have the data which is irrefutable. If it were raised to 18 or 20 the accident rates would plummet. I know that is unpalatable for many but it is still true.

Im making a pamphlet for my graphic class but im having a little trouble finding info about the runner and jogger accident rate from like cars and/or other dangers.

the only info i could find is more related to pedestrians which makes much a much larger demographic than runners. i did find a blub about .5% of pedestrian accidents involving runners but that's not really enough or that accurate.

Hope that helps. God bless.

They're not going to look for the vehicle, because they don't care where it is.

They are going to find out who owned the car, and either you'll pay a lot more than $25, or you'll get kicked out of school, or the bill will be sent to collections and your credit will be ruined for 7 to 7 1/2 years.

Hello, so I was on a two lane street, going both ways, and on the right side of my life there is an apartment, so cars park on the right. Traffic was backed up and I noticed my check engine light came on and the temp was in the red, so instead of breaking down and blocking everyone, I decided to hope in the left lane (with a broken line), passed about 1-2 cars as I coasted in neutral into some gravel to the left side of the road.

As I'm coasting in I see the cop to the right parked, who was before completely blocked off by an SUV, he did the double look, I got scared and pulled all the way into the gravel, and then slowly backed out, but right when he saw me his car was moving forward to pull me over, I completed the u turn in the gravel, and then he pulled me over and cited me for illegal u turn and driving in the wrong lane.

I avoided a scene, and besides what I did seemed completely legal, I thought your allowed to pass on the left broken line. Any advice is greatly appreciated!

Don't carry things. You cannot be safe and carry things for "protection". You can do only one or the other.

You protect yourself by not carrying things. If you carry things for "protection", then criminal may attach you to steal those things, or they may use those things against you when they attack you.

For example, most criminals (even if they legally own guns) do not bring guns with them when they go to commit a crime, because the penalties are so much more severe if they have a gun with them when they get caught. However, if they discover that a person they are attacking has a gun and is trying to use it for "protection", then they may take the gun and shoot the person with it, to keep the person from being able to shoot them.

As long as the person does not have anything for "protection" and does not pose a threat to the life of the criminal, they will usually leave the person alive, because they are much less likely to get caught. (The police look a lot harder for the criminal if someone dies.)
