going 55, the speed limit. “Yes, that's what I clocked you at. But that’s not the speed limit.” That’s when Monroe was informed that all the speed limits in Holland have been reduced to a maximum of 40 mph. Lucky for Monroe, the officer left him with a warning, and he was still able to get to school on time. This has been the story for many drivers across the Holland area. Unsuspecting drivers have taken to the roads without knowledge of the speed limit change only to see flashing lights in their rearview mirror. This has been a problem for not only drivers trying to get to school and work, but for the police officers too. “The planning that went behind this was really a disaster,” said Deputy John Nickles. “The Holland Police Department was just as unprepared as the citizens of Holland when it came to the speed limit change. A city official just came into our office one day as said, ‘Hey,…
too slow for a highway and may cause more road accidents and increase the road toll due to the drivers being restricted by the speed limit. When the speed limit is slow, drivers are left dangerously stuck behind and in-between trucks. The drivers are also too frustrated about not going above the low speed limit which can act as a distraction. (Tucker, 2015) Therefore, the maximum speed limit should be raised to 130km/h on all Australian highways. In Australia the speed limit can range from…
Congressional Term Limits The question of whether or not congressmen should face term limits similar to the President of the United States has been a burning question throughout American History. Congressmen should face term limits for a few reasons. They should face term limits due to a majority of the American people’s opinion on the issue , the fact that term limits would increase ideas coming through Congress, and to help prevents incumbent advantage. The most important reason behind…
to the election cycle, over 90% of incumbents were reelected showing the discrepancy of between the populace’s view on the system and the system itself. This volatile cycle gave birth to a radical new idea- the limiting of who many terms one could serve. These limits would force a reset on American politics by removing long time career politicians.…
Supporters of term limits have suggested that a system without term limits allows undeserving politicians to exploit this advantage, and creates to a class of politicians who are ineffective and immovable, and who continue to win elections because of the political money from corrupt influence groups. Fairness in elections is one of the pillars of democracy, and the fact that incumbents are reelected at such high rates is unexpected given the approval ratings of the system as a whole. However,…
Raising the Speed Limit Some say “speed kills” but is speed really the killer? The killer is the person who is behind the wheel. Much less just because careless drivers are the cause of deaths in motor vehicles, that does not mean society should lower the speed down to an unreasonable point. In Fact we should increase the speed and let the careless drivers deal with the problems they cause and not penalize the rest. Even though driving 55 miles per hour is more fuel efficient,the speed limit…
was quoting Justice Hugo Black when he said that “First Amendment protection ‘must be accorded to the ideas we hate or sooner or later they will be denied to the ideas we cherish.’” Nevertheless, the previous statement is true. Millennials should be aware that denying people the right to their own opinions means that their thoughts can be denied as well. If millennials are allowed to limit speech on their campuses and then the speech in the workforce later in life, those whose speech is limited…
concentration of Triton-X to be 0.05%, so 1 mL of 0.5% was added to the final 10 mL matrix. Dr. Doolittle’s handout suggested that the optimal dithizone concentration was 50 μM in 10 mL, so 0.5 mL of 1μM dithizone was added to the matrix. 1 mL of solution was added to the matrix, along with 3 mL of water. In previous trials, 0.5 mL of buffer was added to solution (and water was added appropriately to get to 10 mL); however, this was later modified (see table below), as it was crucial to main a…
to ship, their values could be decreased and made available to more shoppers in the market. Adversely, the human driver has, on more than just intellectual grounds, is much more viable. The human driver is traditional, and has become a copious profession. It is one of the most common jobs in America. Automating drivers would eliminate millions of jobs and could cause mass unemployment as well as civil outrage. Unless there was a viable way to transition all for those millions of driver out of…
After pondering my thoughts on why he would tap his breaks, I seemed to be gaining on him? Nearly crawling up the rear fender of the sedan, I read my speedometer. “55 MPH! Are you kidding me!” Fist clenching, muscles flexing, teeth grinding, I knew I was about to unleash. “Thats It!” With my vision red, I had no limits. With sudden flashbacks of the two speeding tickets on my record, I snapped into reality. Yet the monster inside was much to strong! Dropping the pedal to the floor, I merged…
