Download or read book Why We Have Automobile Accidents Classic Reprint written by Harry R. Desilva and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-27 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Why We Have Automobile Accidents I have attempted in this book to outline the various phases of the high way safety problem, to assess their relative significance, and to Offer the reader a bird's-eye view Of the field. It is to be hoped that motorists may thereby be afforded an understanding of many of the important but little-known facts about highway accidents, together with a survey Of methods Of preventing accidents, and that the various authorities con cerned will be given a better appreciation of the problem as a whole. Throughout the book I have emphasized the paramount importance of the driver. Some may ascribe this to bias resulting from my training as a psychologist. I cannot help but feel, however, that any serious student Of the whole field would take the same attitude regardless Of his previous training. A major reduction in accidents inevitably depends on driver improvement. We continually improve the design of new motor cars and roads to order and in the same way, if we apply the full resources of our intelligence, we can implant in drivers new and more suitable modes of behavior.

Download or read book World Report on Child Injury Prevention written by M. M. Peden and published by World Health Organization. This book was released on 2008 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Child injuries are largely absent from child survival initiatives presently on the global agenda. Through this report, the World Health Organization, the United Nations Children's Fund and many partners have set out to elevate child injury to a priority for the global public health and development communities. It should be seen as a complement to the UN Secretary-General's study on violence against children released in late 2006 (that report addressed violence-related or intentional injuries). Both reports suggest that child injury and violence prevention programs need to be integrated into child survival and other broad strategies focused on improving the lives of children. Evidence demonstrates the dramatic successes in child injury prevention in countries which have made a concerted effort. These results make a case for increasing investments in human resources and institutional capacities. Implementing proven interventions could save more than a thousand children's lives a day.--p. vii.
Download or read book It s No Accident written by Lisa Lewis and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2006-03-01 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For more than 30 years, the government has been ramming cars into walls in an effort to make car crashes safe. The public has been conditioned to believe that seatbelts, airbags and more "crashworthy" vehicles are the best ways to protect us from harm on the roads. Meanwhile, the most basic strategies to deter dangerous driving and prevent crashes have been ignored. "It's No Accident" provides a rare glimpse into how the government got seduced by the promise of "safe crashing." It then examines the major factors involved in crashes today, including speeding, aggressive driving, distracted (e.g. cell phones) and drowsy driving. The author reveals that many dangerous behaviors are now legally PROMOTED by businesses, and that drivers who kill often walk away with just a small fine. This well-documented expose is a must-read for anyone concerned about violent death and injury on our roads and how to stop it. **Questions about this book or trouble with your order?

Download or read book The Effect of Vehicle Characteristics on Road Accidents written by I. S. Jones and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2016-09-02 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Effect of Vehicle Characteristics on Road Accidents investigates whether vehicle characteristics related to handling and stability contribute to road accidents. Using multiple regression analysis, this book addresses driver and vehicle effects separately in order to define both the magnitude of the handling/accident causation problem as well as the relative importance of the various performance measures. This monograph is comprised of six chapters and begins with detailed studies of accidents to determine the circumstances which lead to loss of control or overturning of a car on the road, and which accidents are likely to be influenced by the handling and stability characteristics of cars. Accident rates for these types of accident are then examined for the more popular models of car. Measures of vehicle handling and stability related to accident rates are also discussed. This text will be a useful resource for motorists and road engineers as well as transportation officials.
