Submit a 750-1250 word essay on one of the following topics regarding safe driving:

• What made me stop? Texting and driving is a serious risk. According to the National Safety Council, the risk of car crash increases 4×. Drivers using their smartphones aren’t just texting, there’s also the occasional email, Snapchat selfie, Instagram like or retweet. Tell us in 750-1,250 words about the moment that you (either as a driver or passenger) realized the risks of using a smartphone while driving?
• When it all stopped being fun. A CDC study reports that almost 4.2 million Americans admitted to driving while intoxicated at least once over the previous month. What steps can be taken to prevent drinking and driving? Tell us in 750-1,250 words about the moment that you (either as a driver or passenger) realized the risks of being intoxicated while driving?
• Are self-driving cars safer? The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reported that driver incapacitation (seizure, heart attack, blackout) was the main cause of 6.4% of accidents. Driverless cars could address those problems. We’d like to hear your opinion about them in 750-1250 words. Are they safer? What are the societal changes that would come in place? What risks would autonomous vehicles eliminate or impose?
