Assignment #1: One Mississippi.

How did seeing these distances in meter sticks make you feel about looking away from the road when driving and why? - While i was watching this video and they were showing me the math all i could not believe how far some one could go in one second. I don't think people realize how fast they are going and how far they going EVEN THOUGH they are only looking away for 1 second. Its not safe at all you go on average about 30 m/s. Think about 30 meters in one second. In fact know how many people do this and how far you can go without looking makes me feel very UNCOMFORTABLE to be on the road with people like that!!

  Watch this video and then give one reason this commercial is effective and one reason why it may not change anything. - One reason why this video is effective is because if someone seen that commercial they might realize how dangerous it is for them selves and and other people to do this. Im sure any sensible person would not want to put there life or anyone else's life in risk just to look at there phone and if realized how far they actually going in such a small amount of time they stop all together. -
One reason this commercial might not work is that if someone watched it and looked at it like a joke. if some one is not willing to look at something a different way then there is no point in trying to make them. I know we have to but its unlikely a bold headed will change there mind on something they don't think is a big deal!!

Think of an invention that can help keep drivers from being distracted and summarize it here. 

-The invention i choose to use is one where the phone would not be able to work while the vehicle is running. Now this invention wouldn't stop the music on your phone from working but it wouldn't allow your data to work while your phone is connected to your car. It probably wouldn't allow service either. I believe this would improve the safety of the people on the road a great deal. 

The next time you are in a car with a driver who is speeding or repeatedly distracted do you think you will speak up and attempt to correct the errors? Why or why not? -I will try to do my best to stop my parents or anyone else from looking at there phones while driving, also i will try to stop them from speeding too. Hopefully if i try to do it one time and explain the math to they will understand it is a very bad idea to do it!!
