Speed Limit Persuasive Speech
The speed limit should not rise

My speech today is about why I am against the idea of the speed limit to rise

Drunk driving

These are some of my main reasons for why it is dangerous for the speed limit to rise for drunk driving:

More often crashes
Higher risk of death
Young adults with children is an easy distraction and could also lead to an easy death of a child
Killing without knowing, because sometimes when you are drunk your brain doesn’t function as fast as it usually does and you don’t know what’s happening around you.

Also in my opinion the speed limit should not rise because “Young adults, adults and teens” when they have come from a bar or party sometimes they are drunk and usually when they drive and are drunk you will go

    For this project my task was to create a few pages of a new magazine aimed at teenagers aged 13-19 years old, of either or both sexes. I needed to include a front page and a double page spread, with at least 3 original images. To begin with I researched the forms and conventions of magazines in the media. I found out a lot about the layout of the magazines, for example, a lot of magazines all have the same basic layout, which is often repeated throughout all major genres of magazines. After researching the forms and conventions of magazines in general, I then went on to research other details of magazines that would influence my decisions later on in the planning stage. I began by brainstorming a large list of all the genres available to the public at the moment, which was narrowed to the ones suitable for my market. This gave me a list of approximately eight genres, including fashion and gaming. I next began research with the public to discover a little more about my target audience, for example, what it is they expect from a magazine and what it is that draws their attention towards them. I started with a questionnaire, and made sure it was only handed to people within the age group specified in the brief, to ensure my results were as relevant and accurate as possible. I decided to aim my magazine at girls and base it on fashion/style and gossip, so I did some further research into this. I also collected together some magazine covers and analysed and evaluated them to help me to come up with an idea for my magazine. Finally, I completed other research work, including mind maps and tallies of ideas which I felt needed to be chosen by the audience, to come up with the magazine which I felt was the most suitable and could be the most successful with my audience. Overall, the research I conducted was very useful and had very strong influences to every decision I made. During this process of…

    For example, after the 21-year-old age limit was passed, the amount of car accidents with drivers ages 16-20 with positive BAC levels that resulted in deaths dropped from 61% in 1982 to 31% in 1995. This 30% decrease in just 13 years shows that by restricting those who could legally drink to those age 21 or older saved many lives, which is why the age limit should continue to be upheld. Additionally, any driver who is on the road that has been drinking is a danger, even if he or she has not caused an accident. The age 21 law has addressed this too, seeing as the number of people with a BAC level greater than 0.05% driving a vehicle under age 21 decreased by 74% after the law making 21 the legal drinking age was passed. These hazardous people are now on the roads less frequently since 21 was made the age restriction for drinking, and for the safety of all drivers and passengers, this age should not be…

    Imagine you're about to get on the school bus from a long day at school. You're exhausted from all the work you had done that day and you're not paying much attention to the world around you. The bus is across the street waiting with open arms, waiting for you to sit down and rest all the way home.

You take a look to see how much longer until the car gets there and before you know it a car races passed you just…

    For sixteen years, teenagers look forward to the day they get the ultimate freedom: driving, but with this freedom there comes risks. Every day another life is lost to teen driving. Along with risking their lives, teenagers are also not mentally prepared to handle the consequences that could come with driving. They are not only putting their life at risk, but the lives of others. No mother or father wants to bury their child, and this would be less likely if the driving age was raised. The legal driving age should be raised to save lives and have more mature drivers on the road.…

    The proposal to raise the minimum licensing age from 16 to 18 should be rejected for a number of reasons. For one there are no statistics that prove 16 year old drivers are responsible for accidents, so it wouldn't be fair to penalize them. Also, for most young people, the use of a car is a necessity.…

    If the drinking age was to rise there would be less problems with underage drinking. There would also be less drinking and driving accidents. Most importantly there would be less misuse of alcohol with college aged students. Raising the drinking age can really help improve the percentage of college aged students who are caught drinking and driving or that cause terrible accidents that can result with their death or passenger’s death. It can also bring back some peace to worried parents that stay up all night waiting and hoping their child can come home. The legal age to drink and purchase alcohol should raise to a more mature and safer age where there would be less worrying and more…

    Teenage accident rates and mortality rates have increased dramatically over the years. Nothing that the parents do and law enforces will protect the teens all the time, especially from themselves. Teenagers do not realize the responsibility that comes with driving. They are often distracted with other things such as texting while driving. Most importantly, parents always worry about the safety of their kids on the road. Some people may say that the driving age should stay at the age of 16; however, raising the driving age to 18 will create safer and more responsible drivers. Firstly, teenagers are very careless. In addition, increasing the minimum driving age will allow teenagers more time to get comfortable with driving. Finally, the number of fatal accidents will be reduced. Therefore, the minimum driving age should be raised from 16 to 18.…

    I do not believe the minimum driving age should be raised. A trend in recent years has shown that the amount of 16-17 year olds involved in deadly car crashes has been reduced, and 18-19 year olds involved in deadly accidents has increased. In states with Graduating License programs, the amount of 16 year olds involved in deadly accidents has gone down 16 percent. A GDL (Graduating License) can restrict teens from driving at night, with passengers, and it can make them drive with supervision for a given amount of time. This will give teens safe and quality experience behind the wheel. Since 1996, 1,348 fewer fatalities involving 16 year olds and 1,086 more fatalities involving 18 year olds have been linked to Graduating License programs. So, why would we raise the license limit to 18 or 19 when fewer 16 and 17 year olds, and more 18-19 year olds are causing fatal accidents (Roan)?…
