Majority of students have had car accident
October 10, 2019
The majority of Morton East students have been in a car accident.
When Morton East students/staff were surveyed, it shows that more people have gotten into at least one car accident so far. In a random survey of 100 students, 58 have gotten into a car accident. That’s more than 50%. Shockingly – or not — if you talk on the phone while driving your chances of crashing increase by 400%. Road accidents cost the U.S $230.6 billion per year.
Respecting road laws and speed limits are important for all safety.
I was drifting my car and hit the sidewalk after I realized that my suspension was ruined,” senior Michael Aguirre said.
The most important thing in any accident is to make sure everyone is okay.
“The feeling was not good, I knew it was my fault both times, luckily there were no injuries,” Auto Mechanic teacher Mr. Yunker said.
And, remember that leaving the scene of an accident is a felony.
“It was with 2 other friends another car cut me off, and I rear–ended him, I took off.” Senior Johan Rodriguez said.
Your actions can affect everybody
“it was pretty bad, I rolled over twice in the car and then I stopped when I hit the pole.” Senior Anthony Erickson said.
We should all be more careful when it comes to road safety.
“Depends on who the better driver, women are a little more careful.”: English teacher Ms. Ororzco said.
