In the month of October 2011, two of my friends were exiting Fort Carson, Colorado, and waited at a red light. The light turned to a green arrow and they proceeded to the intersection. The driver did not see a large dump truck travelling approximately 50 miles per hour toward them until it was too late. The dump truck failed to adhere to a red light and struck my friend’s truck. The truck spun around several times and stopped in the median.
I made contact with the driver, who was identified using her Florida driver’s license as Jennifer Lea Leal. The front seat passenger was identified by his California identification card as Oliver Brandon Howell Burns. As Jennifer was attempting to remove her driver’s license from her wallet I noticed she was having difficulty and almost handed me a debit / bank card, before realizing it was not her license.

Additionally, officer testified that the vehicle is designed for 7 passengers not for 8 passengers. The reason for ejecting the passengers in the back seat is for not wearing a safety seatbelt. Respondent and passengers were not able to identify the semi truck that changed it’s lane to the respondent’s lane. Respondent and his witness testimonies that semi truck went into his lane can not be substantiated , due to lack of independent witness, supporting evidence and conflict statement of the respondent’s witness to the Officer Severing at the scene and at the hearing. The Respondent exercised poor judgment in the operation of a motor vehicle, in a violation of Section 22107 VC (unsafe turning movement) and failing to exercise a reasonable amount of care caused or contributed a fatal traffic collision.

After being briefed, I approached the driver now identified as Charles L. Walker 2nd. When I asked Charles if he had any drinks tonight, he slurred “No homie, I’m not drunk and what’s the reason you have me stopped.” During my further conversation with Charles, he started to become irate over he was “surrounded” by three white police officers. To help levitate the problem, I asked the other officers to take a step back so I could speak with Charles. I advised Charles that I was going to administer SFST’s and the first test was the HGN test.
Truck driving is a difficult job which requires great responsibility of transferring the goods from one place to other far place with proper safety. Genuine CDL training is required by every aspiring truck driver to attain essential skills as a professional driver. These training programs are meant not only help the students learn about the possible ways to handle and manage their trucks in most adverse traffic and weather conditions, but also, this training helps them to learn how to prevent any major loss of the goods during the transference.
It’s normal that as we age, our driving abilities tend to change. Adjusting to life changes such as retirement, different schedules, and new activities also affect where and when they drive. Most older adults drive safely because they have a lot of experience behind the wheel. They are often hurt more seriously than younger drivers when they are involved in crashes (Older Drivers , 2012). There are many factors that affect older adults when driving such as arthritis, memory loss, and spine problems, which make drivers lose height and become shorter behind the wheel, diminishing visual range (Older Drivers , 2012). Driving skills can be affected by age-related declines in vision, hearing, cognitive functioning, ability to reason and remember, and other abilities, as well as certain health conditions and medications. It’s important to note , adults tend to take more medications as they age, and even if they’re not developing dementia, such as Alzheimer’s disease, the medications can cause cognitive changes and confusion, which in turn can affect they’re driving abilities (Older Drivers , 2012).

It was a typical Monday morning as I drove home from work, exhausted from having to perform more than twenty four hours of duty. Windows down, Oakley sunglasses adorn my tiresome face to block the shimmer of sunlight from my sensitive eyes. Anxiously looking forward to the softness of my pillow, I pushed the accelerator to the floor propelling my car into overdrive. Zipping by the night club Area 151 was when I notice him lying on the ground, motionless. With tires screeching I quickly came to unrehearsed stop, the rush of adrenaline and flashes of my military training captivated my mind, transferring me into autopilot. As I ran over to his location yelling “hey buddy are you ok” following the ABC’s of first aid, I could not help but notice the large pool of blood from the deep laceration on his face, the twisted front wheel of his bicycle, and a strong stench of alcohol coming from his liquor stained John Sport backpack. “All my beers are broken” was all he muttered as he fell trying to get regain his footing, relieved that the fellow was alive I immediately called the police. As I spoke to the paramedics on the situation I could not help but ask myself “how could someone be so intoxicated at this time
Getting a driver’s license can be the most exciting part of a teens life. But what do teens have to do beforehand in order to obtain that license? For some, it's months of training and for others, they can complete everything within a few months. But does all that training make teens better drivers? The three main reasons why more drivers education for teens is not beneficial are: restrictions for teen drivers make it harder on parents, teens have to be able to get around without their parents, and not all teens need more drivers education.
