Download or read book I Had to Drive I Was Too Drunk to Walk written by Mark Mann and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I had to drive, I was too drunk to walk is a compilation of 101 of the funniest, most bizarre excuses given to our nations police officers by the notorious violator. These excuses are true and documented in the records of numerous police, sheriff and state patrol entities. The author collected these unique excuses over a period of 11 years. Some came from personal experiences as an officer and some were passed on by colleagues from across the country. This book is not only entertaining, but it is also an educational journey for the reader as the author has rated the violators excuses. The risk ratings include Low, Moderate, High and Step out of the Car. The risk rating pertains to the probability of arrest or citation a person earns by using the related excuse. An excuse followed by a Step out of the Car rating usually guarantees the driver a trip to the slammer (probably not a good excuse to use). Some of these excuses actually worked and the author wants you to know why. Its amazing how the stress of being under blue lights, badges, and lots of leather affects us humans. This is your chance to take a quick peek into the mind of a traffic cop. How does that mind work? How do the police decide when to write a ticket? What makes up the best chances to get out of a ticket? These questions and more are answered in I had to drive, I was too drunk to walk!

Download or read book The Fast and The Furious Drivers Speed Cameras and Control in a Risk Society written by Helen Wells and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2022-03-26 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Fast and The Furious: Drivers, Speed Cameras and Control in a Risk Society presents a sociological and criminological perspective critical to understanding the driver's role at the centre of road safety interventions. Such an approach is, it is argued, as crucial to an understanding of attempts to reduce road crashes, deaths and injuries as approaching such questions from an engineering or educational perspective. The book offers an explanation for the continued debate about one road safety intervention - the speed camera - by situating that debate within contemporary literature about the 'risk society' (Beck, 1992) and more broadly understood experiences of risk faced on a daily basis by drivers. Rather than a focus on risk as something that can be objectively assessed, measured and managed separately from the social context in which it is encountered, it suggests that 'risk' is something that permeates this particular debate from every angle. The book achieves its aims by utilising sociological and criminological perspectives to investigate issues such as: - the social context in which it is possible for drivers to reject official scientific expertise about crash causation and camera effectiveness - the self-defined 'respectability' of the population being problematised and its juxtaposition with a 'proper' police focus on 'real criminals' - the reconceptualisation of law-breaking as risk-taking rather than inherently 'wrong' behaviour and its consequences for the enforcement of laws based on risk assessment - the experience of being controlled by technology and of receiving what is essentially 'automated justice'. These and other issues are explored and suggested as illuminating of both the real concerns underpinning this debate and potentially instructive for future attempts to control risky behaviour both within and beyond a road safety context.

Learn to ask better, more helpful questions of your work so that you can create stronger and more powerful photographs.

Photographers often look at an image—one they’ve either already created or are in the process of making—and ask themselves a simple question: “Is this a good photograph?” It’s an understandable question, but it’s really not very helpful. How are you supposed to answer that? What does “good” even mean? Is it the same for everyone?

What if you were equipped to ask better, more constructive questions of your work so that you could think more intentionally and creatively, and in doing so, bring more specific action and vision to the act of creating photographs? What if asking stronger questions allowed you to establish a more effective approach to your image-making? In The Heart of the Photograph: 100 Questions for Making Stronger, More Expressive Photographs, photographer and author David duChemin helps you learn to ask better questions of your work in order to craft more successful photographs—photographs that express and connect, photographs that are strong and, above all, photographs that are truly yours.

From the big-picture questions—What do I want this image to accomplish?—to the more detail-oriented questions that help you get there—What is the light doing? Where do the lines lead? What can I do about it?—David walks you through his thought process so that you can establish your own. Along the way, he discusses the building blocks from which compelling photographs are made, such as gesture, balance, scale, contrast, perspective, story, memory, symbolism, and much more. The Heart of the Photograph is not a theoretical book. It is a practical and useful book that equips you to think more intentionally as a photographer and empowers you to ask more helpful questions of you and your work, so that you can produce images that are not only better than “good,” but as powerful and authentic as you hope them to be.
