The Law Of Driving

Do you think that way too much people die from car accidents, Well i'm here to talk about it. A Lot of people break the law when it comes to driving. New Zealand's death toll on the roads continues to rise at disturbing rates. The two main ideas of concern are=
Using cellphones when driving
Drink and Drugs when driving
I will discuss these 2 main points today.

Using your cellphone when driving is DUMB. This causes death on our roads. Did you know that nearly 390,000 injuries occur from texting and driving, And only from the United States! From November 1st 2009 it became illegal for people to text and drive. But still I know a lot of people that text and drive. Put your hand up if you have seen someone texting and driving….. I have proven my point.


My next point is drink and drug driving and how it puts other drivers at risk. Studies have shown that the risk of being involved in a crash increases as a driver's blood alcohol concentration increases. Did you know that New Zealand has one of the worlds highest rates of cannabis use. Two-thirds of cannabis users admit to under the influence, says the Transport Agency.
Thank you for listening.
