SECTION 3 Questions 21-30Questions 21-23Complete the following information usi

Jenny: OK, let’s take a look at these accident statistics. Don, you looked at distracted drivers, right?
Don: Yes, Jenny, I did. Distracted drivers cause between 25% and 50% of all U.S. motor vehicle accidents. I’m afraid that the figures are not very exact on that point. The distractions are many, but according to studies, rubbernecking, or slowing down to stare at another accident, caused the most accidents, accounting for 16% of all distraction-related crashes.
Ken: 16% of all accidents?
Don: No, Ken—16% of distraction-related ones. After rubbernecking,
   other common driver distractions included: driver fatigue,
   at 12%; looking at scenery, at 10%; other passengers or children,   Q21/22
   at 9%; adjusting the radio, cassette or CD player, at 7%;                Q23
   and reading the newspaper, books, maps or other documents,
      at less than 2%.
Jenny: Reading the newspaper? It’s amazing what some people do while driving! You didn’t mention cell phone use, Don.
Don: That’s an increasingly serious cause of driver distraction, as    Q24
   more than 85% of cell-phone users talk on their phone regularly
   while driving. At least one study has found that driving and
   talking on a cell phone at the same time quadruples the risk of
   crashing, which is why many cities have recently begun banning
   their use while driving unless a hands-free device is used.
   However, I couldn’t find any precise statistics on the percentage
   of accidents caused by cell-phone use. I’ll make a note to
   try and find out.
Jenny: Good. Ken, you looked at driver fatigue in more detail, right?
Ken: Yes, I did. Drowsy drivers account for about 100,000 accidents
   every year in the United States. The risk is greatest from 11                     Q25
   p.m. to 8 a.m. , the time when most people are used to sleeping,
   however some people also become drowsy from noon to 2 p.m.
Jenny: After a heavy lunch, perhaps?
Ken: That would be my guess.
Jenny: OK. I looked at drunk driving. An estimated 17,000 people are
     killed in alcohol-related crashes each year. This is an average
     of one death almost every half-hour. Drunk drivers were responsible
     for 30% of all fatal crashes during the week, but this
     percentage rose significantly over the weekends, during which        Q26
     53% of fatal crashes were alcohol-related.
Don: The only way to prevent this type of accident is not to drink
   and drive. Whenever alcohol is involved, choose a designated                  Q27
   driver in advance: This person should not drink at all before
   driving.
Ken: Absolutely. I also looked at speeding, which is a threat because
   not only does it reduce the amount of time necessary to
   avoid a crash, it also increases the risk of crashing and makes
   the crash more severe if it does occur. In fact, when speed increases
   from 40 mph to 60 mph, the energy released in a crash
   more than doubles. Simply slowing down and obeying posted                  Q28
   speed limits can go a long way toward making the roads safer.
Don: Speeding is sometimes related to aggressive driving, which I looked at.
Jenny: Did you find a definition of aggressive driving? I mean, it might be useful for our research.
Don: Actually, I did. According to the New York State Police, it’s anyone who operates a motor vehicle in a selfish, bold or pushy manner, without regard for the rights or safety of the other users of the streets and highways.
Jenny: Good. Did you find any advice for people who come across aggressive drivers?
Don: Yes, if you come across an aggressive driver, the New York State Police gives these tips to protect yourself. First, remain calm. Second, keep your distance. Third, do not pass unless you have to. Fourth, change lanes once it is safe. Fifth, if you
      cannot change lanes and an aggressive driver is behind you,
     stay where you are, maintain the proper speed and do not respond
     with hostile gestures. And finally, if the situation is serious,          Q29
     you may call 911 to report an aggressive driver.
Ken: Jenny, you also looked at weather, right? Jenny: Yes. Inclement weather, including heavy rain, hail, snowstorms,
     ice, high winds and fog can obviously make driving
     more difficult. You need more time to stop and may have
     trouble seeing the road clearly, so when the weather gets bad,
     be sure to leave extra room between the car in front of you and
     slow down. If necessary, pull off the road to a rest stop or to
     the side of the road, well out of the traffic lanes—until conditions    Q30
     improve. OK, now that we’ve got those, we need to think
     about ...
