Can you help me correct me speech its due tomorrow !!
Good afternoon fellow students and teachers today I am here to talk to you about Impaired driving and how no person should choose to under any circumstances.
My opinion is that no one should drive wile impaired.
What is Impaired driving? This means driving when your ability is affected by alcohol or drugs.
How much alcohol is too much alcohol? It depends on your weight and height but, if it’s your first time drinking you can easily get drunk by two-three drinks. Did you know that if you blood alcohol level reaches .08 you are drunk. Impaired driving seriously injures or kills many people throughout Canada, every year 259 million people are almost killed and every 22 minutes someone will die in an alcohol-related traffic accident. Although you probably think that it could never happen to you, but experts say everyone dose have a 40% chance of being in a crash involving alcohol use sometime in their life. If you are pulled over by a police officer and you have been drinking they usually will ask you to 1. walk in a straight line 2. sing the ABC’S backwards or 3. Take a breathalyzer. How hard do you think it would be to complete those tasks properly if you have been drinking alcohol? If you are caught drinking and driving you face jail time from six months to a year, or fines from $1,000 to $3,000 you also can get your drivers license taken away for up to 10 years , would you rather
spend time in jail , pay up to 3,000$ get your driving privileges taken away or get a ride home from a taxi , a sober friend , your mom or dad, or if you really don’t have a way to get home a police officer will take you home ! there are lots of options you can choose then driving drunk !,
Have you ever tired on those glasses that make you vision seem like you have been drinking ?
If you have image wearing those wile driving in a car! you could easily cause a accident.
Have you ever heard of MADD ? that stands for Mothers Agents drunk driving, there is actually a group on the internet that moms have created because there kids have been killed by a drunk driver. One mom who is part of MADD had a 15 year old daughter who went out with four of her friends on a Friday night, before her daughter left the mom said “Jamie i want you to be home before 12:00 am” , sure enough the daughter agreed,
two of her friends were 17 and the other was 16, the two 17 year old were drinking a large amounts of alcohol,
and sure enough the mother was waiting at home until 1:00 when she got a phone call saying her daughter has passed away because the car she was in lost control and crashed . One day if any of you guys have kids would you want this to happen to you ? well i know i wouldn’t , i hope you make the right choices when you are old enough to drink and choose not to drink and drive, thank you for listening and i hope you learned something new.
