FCA'S
1)Give a complete summary of the four sites you visit in the cd (lawyer,police,school,doctor)
2)Tell who you turned out to be in the cd,
3)Give your view on the problems related to drinking/drugs and driving.
The first place i visited on the cd was the school, were i had the chance to where they gave alternative options to stop your friend from driving while drunk, here are what some of the answers of advice were, When you act laid back the person thinks that if u drive them home its not a big deal, Use a different approach if the person still refuses keep trying, Use another angle , use this when the person denies being drunk, use less offensive words, to avoid embarrassing the person have more then one person use a better approach, Do not let them go, if they have been drinking. The school also gave some facts that were very interesting. For every teen killed in a motor vehicle crash, about 100 other suffer from non-fatal injuries. Sensation seeking is the #1 personality risk in teen drunk drivers.
My next visit was at the police station were i met detective Hernandez and there i learned some interesting facts, Crashes are twice as likely when teenage drivers have other teenagers in the car, also i learned how to recognize a drunk driver by either the way they swerve ,weave, and if they have their headlights off. Another spot that i visited at the police station was that people who believe they can avoid arrest when they are driving under the influence might take more chances. Another reason why teen drivers who have been drinking get arrested right away is in order to get federal money, states are required to have a zero tolerance laws for underage drinkers. This means that even if you have a very low blood alcohol level from 0.1 to 0.2- about one drink you can be arrested for a DUI.
The third visit was with the lawyer the lawyer went over penalties in an activity where you were the judge and what you would give the driver of the cause of the accident, i gave her two counts of 2nd degree murder, because she killed two people for driving dunk and now will face up to 60 years in prison without probation. The woman driving the vehicle that hit the teenagers car at a speed of 70mph claimed that she only had one Margarita a lunch time. Also the lawyer gave the definition of a totaled car which means that the cost to repair the damage is greater then the value of the car. This means that an older car with little damage maybe considered totaled.
My last stop was at the doctors office where he went over brain damage. Beginning drivers have the highest rates and the risk of a crash for teenagers increases by 5% after one or two drinks- this is much greater then for more experienced drivers. Some thing i learned, that no mater what speed you are traveling can cause brain damage, Brain damage is caused by the brain hitting the skull. Brain damages has major affects on your body by causing you to not concentrate, forget things, loss of smell or taste, difficulty of motor skills, and mood swings. The effects alcohol have on your brain:
- Slowed messages to the brain
- slurred speech
- Blurred vision
- poor judgement
- sloes your breathing
- memory loss
The effects marijuana have of your brain:
- misjudged speed
- misjudged braking
- missing danger signals
- emotional deception
- memory loss
- reduced attention
- poor coordination
- poor road tracking
I also learned more about how seat belts affect you when you are in a crash, The use of a seat belt reduces your risk of dyeing in a car accident by 60%. More teens die in crashes because 80% are not wearing there seat belt.
The person i turned out to be was the bicyclist and i survived with minor injuries, But i do have memory loss.
The problems with drinking and driving or under the influence of anything is that the person who has been doing the stupid stuff is that there to messed up to realize that they can take someones life easily, someone they don't even know or someone who is innocently walking down the street or driving home but never make because of that person, police need to crack down more on people using the substances and then driving, to help families so they don't have to deal with a death.
