Assignment for 7/26 CRASH SITE CD

the 4 sites i visited were the hospital, a school, my lawyer, and the first responding officer to the crash.

Hospital: At the hospital i learned about what drinking and smoking marijuana can do to your thoughts and reactions behind the wheel of a car. I also learned that wearing a seatbelt reduces your chances of dying in a crash by about 60%. Also it doesnt take much of an impact to your head to cause brain damage or even death.

School: At the school I learned about other things to do that risk takers would be interested in instead of drunk driving. (bungee jumping, etc...) Also I heard stories from a drunk driver, a victim of drunk driving, and a family of a girl who was killed in a drunk driving crash. There was 1 more thing on the school bulletin board but I honestly can't remember what it was about.

Lawyer: At the lawyer's office I listened to an actual case about a drunk woman who was speeding and rammed her SUV into a car holding 4 teenagers. I also learned about how much it will cost you if you get busted which comes out to around $14,000.

Police Station: I learned about how I can spot an impaired driver easily and also about the procedure on getting arrested and going to court.

I turned out to be the bicylist who was hit by the car.

My view on the problems related to drinking/drugs and driving is that it is a major hazard that should be stricter enforced at bars, parties, etc... people dont actually have a really good understanding of how badly just 1 drink of alcohol can mess you up and how much it will increase your chances of dying in a crash.
