The state of Vermont uses a point system to identify the people that get a lot tickets. You get points from convictions for traffic violations that are either state or local. Convictions that you don't get points for are weight, size, equipment, parking and standing. Your license can be suspended with a certain amount of points. The points identify you as an habitual offender.

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.

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.
