Stop+Light+Violations

what i am talking about is the fast that people do not slow down in time to stop for a stop light. People these days do not take into consiideration that they have to stop for a stop light in order to save lives and prevent people getting injured. there are several thionig that this is really go for in life. How the Kinematics (principles of motion) Relate to This Hazard** - What are the relevant concepts (velocity, position, displacement, etc) for this scenario? - How the outcome of the scenario depends on these concepts (your displacement away from the yellow light determines your acceleration to either stop in time or get through the light).
 * Brief Description of Driving Safety Hazard**
 * Statistics or News Articles Related to this Hazard (yes, the statistics and articles must be real and cited!)**
 * People are dieing every day because of traffic violations like

Billy Bob Joe's friend's car is approaching a quite busy intersection at about 12 m/s. His friends car is only about 28m away from this busy intersection. At this perticular intercection however the yello light lasts for exactly 3.5s. as the car is slowing down at 1.5m/s/s his friend's car then swipes right through the light, therefore making the situation very dangerous. How fast is he going when he comes to the innersection.There were many things that could have gone on but nothing did at all. Which is a good thing. what had could have happened is that there could have been a major accident and Billy Bob Joe's friend would have been help responsible.
 * Example Scenario**

this inncodent happneed in the middle of the day. there was no doubt that he wasnt drunk at all.nothing had to do at all with alcohol, or that would be a different story.

In this senario we have to deal with acceleration and velocity. There is the point that we have to make and that is when did he pull off and how fast?

Depending on where you are from that is what tells how long each yello light lasts before turning red.

they range from 3-6 seconds. Some entire stps lights how ever can have you waiting 2-4 minutes. that is insane. The state does that for a reason though and that reason is that to keep everyone safe in the fact that they can pass through a certain time window, in order to get through the light on time

v= 3.5*-1.5+12 v=6.75 m/s
 * V=at+Vo



Driving facts:**


 * Nearly 5,000 young people die in car crashes every year.
 * Another 300,000 teens are injured in car crashes each year.

As we can see from the data above he was not being very careful at all. He was not taking into consideration how long it would take to come to a complete stop or anything like that. after looking at theis and doing this project, i realize how much people really dont pay attiention to their surroundings. all that they care about is where they are going and how fast they are going to get there.
 * How this Hazard Can Be Avoided With a Better Knowledge of Kinematics**
 * Conclusion

Teens these days have more destractions than any one else that is driving. They are influenced by their friends alot and what they do and listen to in their every day life.**
