Aggressive Driving Should be Avoided
(1)Aggressive driving is a phenomenon, which has only recently got the public worried.
(2)The National Highway Traffic Safety Council (NHTSC) defines aggressive driving as “the
operation of a motor vehicle in a manner that endangers or is likely to endanger persons or
property”. (3)Actions such as running red lights, improper passing, overtaking on the left,
improper lane change, failing to yield, improper turns, running stop signs, tailgaiting, careless
driving and speeding are examples of aggressive driving.. (4)Such actions are dangerous to
other road users. (5)Aggressive driving should be avoided because it causes crashes, injuries
and fatalities.
(6)The first reason why aggressive driving should be avoided is it causes crashes.
(7)According to NHTSC between 78 percent (excessive speed) and 100 percent (improper
passing) of the cases of aggressive driving resulted in traffic crashes and 96 percent of the
drivers cited for “following too closely” or tailgaitng caused crashes as a result of their aggressive
driving. (8)Moreover, “running red light”, “improper passing”, and “overtaking on the left” topped
other categories of aggressive driving in contributing to traffic crashes.
(9)Another reason why aggressive driving should be avoided is it causes injuries.(10)
NHTSC states that the percentages of the injuries caused by aggressive driving are, in almost all
categories of aggressive driving, above 100 percent. (11)Furthermore, the Department of
Highway Safety (DHS) reports that this is due to the fact that each motor vehicle crash accounts
for one or more injuries. (12) It was found that of the ten categories of aggressive driving,
“running red light”, “failing to yield”, and “running stop signs” are the most serious factors
contributing to injuries.

(13)Yet another reason why aggressive driving should be avoided is it causes fatalities.
(14)”Overtaking on the left” appears to be the most important contributing factor in traffic fatalities
as it relates to aggressive driving. (15) “Improper lane change”, “running stop sign” and “running
red light” rank second through four in terms of their contribution to traffic fatalities (DHS, 2008).
(16)The above evidence shows that aggressive driving causes crashes, injuries and
fatalities. (17) Hence, aggressive driving should be avoided. (18)Since the opening of the North-
South Highway, the number of kilometers of roads in the country has increased by one percent
while the number of vehicle miles driven has increased by 35 percent. (19) More cars and more
drivers are also on the road, leading to more aggressive drivers.

ARGUMENTATIVE ESSAY
An argumentative essay tries to change the reader’s mind by convincing the reader to
agree with the writer’s point of view. It also presents evidence for an argument in order
to let the reader know why it is favorable. It also shows why the other side of an
argument is unfavorable.
CHARACTERISTICS
An argumentative essay attempts to be highly persuasive and logical. It usually

assumes that the reader disagrees with the writer, but it should be noted that the reader
is no less intelligent than the writer. Hence an argumentative essay should be written
objectively, logically and respectfully.
When planning an argumentative essay, be aware that the essay should contain the
following characteristics:
1. The argumentative essay introduces and explains the issue or case. The
reader needs to know what the issue is going to be.
2. The essay offers reasons, and supports these reasons. The essay should
prove its point.
3. The essay, at times, refutes (proves wrong) opposing arguments.
PARTS OF THE ARGUMENTATIVE ESSAY

the background information necessary for the argument and the thesis statement.
