CRASH
I was in a car accident, I went to my HIGH SCHOOL and talked to a person named mike about driving impaired, and he gave me some good advice and good things to look at for more advice. He told me to look at the yearbook for some Healy advice like this, There is normally an impaired driver, a victim, and family of the victim. Mike also told me to look at the outing club for other options besides drinking like these,
~ Healthy thrills~
*~things you can do almost anytime~*
Try new foods
Change your hair style or the color of your hair
Mountain train biking
Rock climbing
Practice martial arts

Camping out in the wilderness

Learning to do something you never knew how to do, like swing dance
Exploring a new place
Surfing
Sledding

Water skinning
Riding a roller coaster
Going to a rock concert

mike also told me to look at things I could do to stop a friend from driving impaired like these are good ideas to help,
Get the keys

I went to the Doctors office to talk to doctor evens about drinking impaired by marrawna or alcohol. When you drink or smoke marina and get into a crash you could get a head injury and there is more than one car accident in a coalition. Doctor evens also told me the effects of marina. Doctor evens also told me about the limbic system, the hippocampus, the cerebellum.
~head injury’s ~
Car hitting objects
Head hitting windshield
Brain hitting scull

~effects of marrawna~
Misjudge speed
Misjudge braking
Affects perception

*~limbic system~*
Missing dangerous things

*~hippocampus~*
Memory loss
Reduced attention
*~cerebellum~*
Poor coordination
Poor road tracking

Doctor evens also told me the effects of alcohol and what happens when you drink and what happens to you frontal lobe, and your hippocampus, and your medulla.
~effects of alcohol~
Slower message to the brain
Slurred word
Blurred vision
Poor judgment


*~frontal lobe~*
Bad decion

*~hippocampus~*
Memory blackouts
*~medulla~*
Brain damage or death

I went to the police station to talk to detective hurnondace about getting arrested, figuring out if someone is impaired.

~getting arrested~
Pulled over
Field sobriety test
Miranda rights
Breathalyzer
Pay bail
Arraignment
Trail


~finger out how to find out id someone is impaired~
Headlights off 30%
Slow response to traffic lights 40%
Fallowing to closely 50%
Weaving 60%

The lawyer talked to me about how much it is if you total your car and how much it is for getting a D.U.I and how much court is and how much everything would cost all together.

I don’t think impaired driving is good because I drive with my friend savanna in 8th grade, while we were both impaired and we crashed her step dads car because she underestimated where the road was so we flipped the car over a v-bank 4 times and, luckily I we were buckled or we would have died but she is lucky her airbag went off even though her seatbelt came off and she flue around the car and she is still paying off her fines for it.

How likely do you think it is that you would total your car if you drove impaired?
-people who score high on this tend to underestimate the risk of crashing while driving impaired
-definition of a totaled car; the cost to repair the damage is greater than the value of the car. This means than an old can with little to maybe considered totaled

Do you think that if you drove impaired you would be injured?
~ People who score high on this tend to underestimate their risk of injury with impaired driving and tend to take dangerous risks
~ Forever teen killed in motor vehicle crashes, about 100 others suffer non-fatal injuries

Do you think you do enough to prevent your friend from driving while impaired?
-this meter indicates how likely you are to prevent someone from driving impaired or to prevent someone from getting into a car with an impaired driver
-dealing directly and firmly with people taking these risks has been shown to be effective more than 50% of the time

Does your age make you more likely to have a car crash?
-this level indicates your risk of being in a car crash as a passenger or a driver, based solely on your age, the younger the driver, the greater the risk
-Begging drivers have the highest crash rates and the risk of a crash for teenagers increases by 50% after one or two drinks – this is much greater than for older drivers.

Does your age make you more likely to have a car crash?

-Begging drivers have the highest crash rates and the risk of a crash for teenagers increases by 50% after one or two drinks – this is much greater than for older drivers.

Does your seatbelt usage make you more likely to be injured in a crash?
-based on how often you wear your seatbelt, this level indicates your risk of injury if you are involved in a crash
-using seatbelts reduced your risk of dying in a car crash by 60%

Do you think that if you drove impaired you would be arrested?
-people who believe that when they are driving under the influence might take more chances. The higher your level on the meter, the more likely you ate to take this chance
-in order to get federal money, states are required to have zero tolerance laws for underage drinker this means even if you have very low blood alcohol level from .01 to .02 – about one drank –you can be arrested for D.U.I.
~recognizing impaired driver~

Do you think that if you rode with an impaired driver you would get into a crash?
-people who score high on this meter tend to understatement theirs of crashes when riding with an impaired driver.
-crashes are twice as likely when teenager’s drivers have teenage red
Passengers

IN THIS CRASH I WAS THE DRIVER
