How to change a tire
Chelsea Milko
If you have a flat tire reduce speed slowly and pull over on a some what flat spot. Put four way flashers on and put a block behind diagonal tire to the one that is flat. It is important to read owners manual so you know where the spare tire, jack, and wrench is. The place where you put the jack varies for different types of vehicles.
1 Check owners manual for location of jack and wrench.
2 Put jack 3-6 inches away from tire then raise jack until it touches the axle.
3 Remove hub cap then loosen lug nuts but don't take nuts off.
4 Raise jack until tire is off the ground than take nuts off and take tire off.
5 Mount wheel onto studs and screw nuts on until snug and in a diagonal pattern.
6 Lower jack so the tire is on the ground then tighten lug nuts completely.
7 Take out and store it where it came from then take block from the opposite tire.
After, put the flat tire in trunk or back of cab and get it fixed and have someone check lug nuts so you know that they're tight enough. If they aren't tight enough your tire might fall off while driving.

Crash Cd (Final Exam)

The first site I visited was the lawyer's office. I learned about a court case that involved North Carolina vs. Melissa Marvin. She was 29 years old and she had 5 drinks within 2 hours. Then she drove while intoxicated and hit a car that had five 17 year old in it and four of them died. Her blood alcohol was 2.1 which is 3 times the legal limit. In the past Melissa had 2 other incidents while driving under the influence.
The defense protested that the witness testimony was inconsistent. In the emergency room they gave Melissa drugs and didn't put her blood in the refrigerator. They didn't think it should be called murder because it was an accident.
The prosecution said that she visited 2 bars between noon and 2:50 pm and she had 5 drinks. Her driving was erratic and she ran a red light going 60 mph. Also once she was questioned she lied to the police. They wanted to charge her for 2nd degree murder and she could get 17 years for each death. At the trial she ended up was guilty of 2nd degree murder and got a minimum of 60 years in jail.
I learned the actual cost of a drunk driving charge with no accident could be $14,722.00 and 2 points on your license for 7 years. Also, 3 years of probation.
The next site I visited was the high school. When teenagers get their license they become more independent because they don't have to ask for a ride. Some teenagers are sensation seeking for adrenaline rushes. Drinking can also increase risk taking.
We heard from a driver,a victim and parents of a victim, about their accidents and how it changed their lives. The driver hit an older couple. The woman died and the man lived but they said he later died of a broken heart. The driver talked about the impact that it had on his life and how he was charged with negligent homicide.
The victim, a junior in high school,was hit when a drunk driver crossed the center line while going through a corner and hit her head on. It took her an hour and 15 min. to get taken out of the car. At the end she looked ok but walked with a limp, had scars and emotional scars. The drunk driver's friends tried to stop him but he wouldn't listen.
The parents of a victim talked about their daughter that died in a accident and how it changed their lives forever. They celebrated her 18 th birthday and brought a cake to the cemetery.
I learned safe alternatives to convince someone who wants to drive drunk not to drive. Take the keys from them so they can't start the car. Ask if you can drive or find another driver. Delay the driver until they're ok to drive or talk them out of driving. Don't be confrontational.
The police was the next site I went to. Detective Hernandez said that the worst time for drunk driving is 10pm til 3am. The law for teenage drinking is zero tolerance. I learned the steps for getting arrested.
police must have reason to pull you over
ask for licence registration and insurance and give field sobriety test
read Miranda rights also put hand cuffs on you and put you in the car
get to station and be given breath, blood or urine test and booked
held until post bail or personal recognisance
court date arraignment
judge decides
The last site was Dr. Evans office. At 10 mph a crash can cause brain damage. The car hits the object and the head hit something in the car. The brain hits against the skull. This can affect concentration,taste,smell, motor skills and mood swings.
Marijuana can cause you to misjudge speed,braking, and affects perception. There are three parts of the brain that pot affects. Limp system which could make you miss signs and be more emotional. Hippocampus stores memory and attention. Cerebellum damage causes poor coordination and road tracking.
Drinking slows messages to the brain, slurrs speech, also can cause blurry vision and poor judgement. The frontal lobe of the brain affects decision making and lowers inhibitions. the hippocampus is affected by memory black outs. When the medulla is affected it can cause brain damage or death.
If you use your seat belt the death rate is reduced by 60%. With out a seat belt at 60 to 70 mph your head hits at 100 times the force of gravity. With a seat belt it's 30 times. 80% of teenagers who die in accidents aren't wearing seat belts.
I think if you go to a bar they should take your keys and decide if you able to drive. If you drink, plan on staying in that spot or be able to walk where you need to go. Also you can have a friend or someone drive you where you need to go. People need to think about the consequences about drinking and driving. They could kill themselves or someone else. Even if no one dies you could still hurt yourself in other ways, including your family and friends. They should think about how much money it can cost them to be pulled over drunk and emotional cost.

GREENLAND, N.H. -- Authorities charged a Newmarket, N.H., teenager with vehicular assault in connection with a fatal collision last year.Police said Joshua Early, 17, was a driver in a three-car accident in August 2006 that killedDavid Bourassa, of Greenland.Investigators said that Early drove carelessly and did not consider road conditions. Early's car rear-ended Bourassa's car, pushing it into oncoming traffic on Route 33, where it was hit by another vehicle, police said. Bourassa was Greenland's road agent.
If the guy was considering the conditions of the roads and the following distance he might of not caused an accident. Most accident happen at intersections so you should be cautious when you come to one.
(WBZ) DERRY, N.H. A Derry woman is facing her fourth drunk driving charge following an accident which injured a police officer working a construction detail in Windham.Officer Rober Moore, 34, was struck by a pick-up truck as he was supervising construction along Route 28 in Windham Wednesday afternoon.Moore was transported to a Boston hospital. We're told his are non-life threatening and he's being held overnight for observation. Windham Police Chief Gerald Lewis said the six-year veteran was conscious and alert.Forty-three-year-old Susan Foss was arrested on a charge of driving while intoxicated. According to Windham Police, Foss is currently out on bail following a drunk driving arrest two weeks ago. She also has two previous DWI convictions. The road project has been going on for one year without any major problems, Lewis said."There's a lot going on. That's why we have police officers out here with vehicles in uniform with vests on. They're plainly visible," he said. "It's an intoxicated driver who should not have been on the road in the first place."
If the police would of put her in jail two weeks earlier it wouldn't of happened. Plus she has had a few DWI convictions before that they should of done something like put her in jail. She should of been smarter or learned something if she had to take a crash course.
New Haven - A New Haven police officer underwent surgery Wednesday night after he was seriously hurt in a motorcycle accident on Congress Street in New Haven, according to police.The police would not release the officer's name or details of the accident, which occurred about 10:30 p.m. Wednesday when a pickup truck collided with the motorcycle the officer was riding.A woman riding on the motorcycle with the officer also reportedly was hurt.

Motorcylces are harder to see, maybe that is one of the reasons there was an accident.

When using a four second following distance you're giving yourself time to react to what the car in front of you decides to do. It also reduces stress and it gives you space in weather changed road conditions.

When coming to an intersection see traffic light in your target area. Find out if it is red its a closed front zone. Check your rear zone and if there's someone behind you tap your brakes to alert them that you are stopping. Begin constant braking and time your arrival into the open zone. Once you get to 10 mph decide if you should stop or go. Once the traffic light is green search intersection at a 45 degree angle. But if it's still red you'll be able to stop smoothly.

CHESTERFIELD, N.H. -- A Bedford woman was sent to the hospital after a two-car crash at the intersection of Routes 9 and 63 in Chesterfield, Wednesday.
Teresa Geib, 43, had to be extracted from her 2007 Honda Civic using the Jaws of Life. Both the front and back driver's side door had to be removed, according to Chesterfield Police Lt. Duane Chickering. Geib was transported to Cheshire Medical Center in Keene with injuries that were not life-threatening, Chickering said. According to Chickering, Geib was driving west on Route 9 with her husband Eric, when the car of George Idelkope, 54, of Chesterfield, heading north on Route 63 across Route 9, hit the driver's side of the Geib car, and eventually came to a stop down a bank 30 feet from the roadway. Neither Idelkope nor Eric Geib were hurt in the collision. "All parties were wearing seat belts," Chickering said. He also said due to the deployment of air bags in the Geib car, injuries were likely reduced. Responding to the scene were Chesterfield police, fire and rescue, Spofford Rescue and the Keene Fire Department. Traffic was slowed in both lanes of Route 9, but continued to move. Traffic along the end of Route 63 to the south of Route 9 was halted while the scene was cleaned up. Both cars were towed from the scene.

Some of the crashes that I saw wouldn't of happened if the driver fallowed the signs like a red light. Most of the crashes wouldn't of happened if they weren't speeding and trying to just go to were ever they were going. When the weather is bed its not a smart idea to see how fast you can go well its not a good idea period. the comment that you made seems vary true.

BURLINGTON - A 6-year-old boy was struck by a car on North Street Monday after losing control of his bike, said Burlington police.The unidentified boy was riding on the sidewalk at about 5 p.m., when he lost control and veered into the road. The boy was struck by a vehicle driven by a 41-year-old female who was traveling at about 20 mph, police said.The boy suffered a laceration to his head and other minor injuries, said police. He was taken to Fletcher Allen Health Care, where is was listed in stable condition.Police said the boy was not supervised by an adult at the time of the accident and was not wearing a helmet.
I think that his parents are irresponsible for leaving him unattended and not telling him to wear a helmet.
BOSTON -- Heavy fog may have led to a collision between two commuter boats in Boston Harbor early Tuesday, but authorities said it did not appear that any of the passengers were seriously injured.
The two vessels crashed into each other between Hingham, Mass., and Boston's Rowe's Wharf during a period of extremely low visibility about 7:30 a.m.
The vessels were identified as The Massachusetts, with more than 150 passengers on board, and The Laura, with four people on board.
When its foggy out to a point that you can see you probably should drive boat. Same with driving a car its hard to see.
FARMINGTON police and fire department personnel investigate a bus accident Monday at Camp Courant in Farmington. About 25 children were injured--none seriously--when the bus, ascending the driveway of the day camp at 96 Batterson Park Road, came to a stop and began rolling backward. The school bus, which was returning the campers from a New Britain Rock Cats baseball game, went down an embankment and hit a tree.
If you have vehicle that has kids that aren't yours and you are responsibility for them the bus should be checked every time the driver gets in just like with a car.

If you have vehicle that has kids that aren't yours and you are responsibility for them the bus should be checked every time the driver gets in just like with a car.

With a junior license you have to take a permit test and then have the permit for one year before getting a junior operator licence. Before you get that you must take and pass a drivers ed class. On top of the course you must have at least 40 hours of driving time including at least 10 hours of driving at night. You must have proof of driving time by your parents signature. Then take a road test and pass to get your licences.
First three months of having your licence you can either drive alone or a licences person that's over 25. The 2nd three months family members only. After 6 months there is no restrictions.
I think it takes long amount of time and energy to get a license so i think the restriction time should be a shorter amount. The first four months family members only. After the fifth month you should be able to have no restrictions.

There are many ways to communicate to other drivers when you are driving. One device is the horn which is located in center of steering wheel. A device for warning others of your difficulties is hazard flashers that you can find on steering column or on instrument panel. Turn signal lights show other drivers that you are turning or changing lanes. Brake lights also show drivers around you that you are slowing down or coming to a stop. Flicking your headlights on and off may signal to other drivers that there are dangers up ahead.

BOSTON -- Two women are recovering this morning after a frightening crash Sunday night in Plymouth. Police said the women were hospitalized after the driver lost control of her Jeep on Long Pond Road. The Jeep flipped, tossing the women from the vehicle. One of them ended up trapped under the Jeep. Both were taken to Jordon hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
At this point, police are still trying to determine what caused the wreck.
If the driver got thrown out of the car she wasn't wearing a seat belt and wasn't staying in control of the car so it flipped and hurt her friend. The other woman was stuck under the jeep so she probably was wearing a seat belt. They both were hurt but neither died.

MARSHFIELD, Mass. -- Authorities have identified the motorcyclist who was killed in a weekend crash in Marshfield while being pursued by police.
The Plymouth County District Attorney's office said Paul Rheaume, of Pembroke, Mass., was thrown from his bike Saturday night after police said he crossed the center line of Route 3A and crashed head-on into a car.
Two people in the car and a police officer were treated for injuries at South Shore Hospital following the incident and released.
A spokeswoman for the district attorney's office said the crash occurred after a short pursuit and that only one cruiser was involved.
Marshfield police said the motorcycle sped away after an officer tried to stop the biker for a motor vehicle violation.

This article makes me think that the motorcyclist thought that if he went faster that he would lose them and not have to pay the consiquences. While he was doing this he was indangering others on the road that he came in contact with not only himself. I think that getting a fine is a decision then loosing your life and indangering others.
The numbers I have choosen are 12 18 34 70 112 130 155 170 222
12 broken radiator hose 18 fire in engine compartment 34 motorcycle 70 happy hour 112 angery 130 fail to see elements of scene 155 gas station enterence 170 school zone 222 skateboarder falls on side of road
A crash could occur with numbers 18 34 70 112 130 155 170 222 because it depends on place and how much your paying attention and what the other person is thinking and doing. Yes they could avoided if you are seeing and alert to yourself and your surroundings.
