With the rise in popularity of smart phones, distracted driving has increasingly become a public safety issue. A common perception of teenagers is that they are glued to their cell phones, constantly sending text messages -- even while driving.

Texting while driving more prevalent Researchers interviewed 1,011 drivers aged 18 years and older who also owned cell phones about their cell phone use habits while driving. Researchers found ...

Specifically, the study, which was recently published in the journal Traffic Injury Prevention, found that texting while driving is just as dangerous as driving with a blood alcohol level of twice the legal ...

Instead, it is the employee's job to ensure that he or she will only make decisions that benefit the business. If the individual violates this trust, he or she may be liable for a breach of the fiduciary duties that they owe to the company or others ...

However, to those harmed by someone driving under the influence, some punishments do not seem appropriate. Examples of lenient DUI punishments News ...

For many individuals, being convicted of a crime is something that they never think will ever happen. They do not engage in any activities that they feel would put them on law enforcement's radar. However, many motorists are stopped by police for traffic violations, and some of these stops may include charges for driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs. In Virginia, the penalties for a DUI conviction are seemingly made stronger every year. In 2012, a new law went into effect that made ignition interlock devices mandatory for anyone convicted of driving under ...

New Citizen's Arrest and Self-defence Act is in effect as of Monday, March 11, 2013. It introduces a new concept to the law in Canada: arrest within a reasonable time. It also aims to simplify the self-defence sections, which have given rise to some of the most mind-bending legal reasoning in Canadian law. Prior to these amendments, the law of self-defence was a tangled bramble bush of special considerations, such as whether the accused provoked the attack, or reasonably believed his or her life was in danger, and whether the use of force was no more than necessary. ...
