DRIVE TO ARRIVE

A number of people will be killed annually due to the dangers inherent in the process of driving. There are many efforts in place to make the process of motor vehicle transport as safe as possible. Operators are required to be qualified and licensed. Congestion, visibility, weather, roadway or traffic control mis-function, vehicle breakdown, etc can cause collision and death. Human error like distraction by the car's media entertainment features, or by passengers, or worries that “I'm late and if I don't drive like mad I may lose my job, home, family and life will become as harder, I'll take the chance.” Corporations should not be allowed to bribe the motor vehicle regulatory system into allowing drivers to operate cell phones or other handheld electronic devices in moving vehicles. Or eat while operating. Or distract themselves in any of an assortment of definable ways when driving. Speed and alcohol are the biggest contributing factors.

You want to know how to drive to arrive?

#1 wear your seatbelt.

#2 look both ways before you enter any intersection.

#3 obey the traffic laws and laws on morality and good conscience

People need to realize they're not as important as they think they are. Slow down. On highways, on city streets, everywhere. One thing that I don't think anyone has addressed is that cars are faster and more powerful today than a couple of decades ago. I have always felt that the folks who are trying to create a zero risk society are looking at a half empty glass. The modern automobile and road system allows relatively untrained non-professionals, (not pilots, train drivers, or sea captains), travel anywhere, anytime in darkness and bad weather. There is always room for improvement. We must make it clear that speed limits are maximum speeds -- not MINIMUM speed, not SUGGESTED speed, MAXIMUM speed. Enforce rigorously for long enough for the message to sink in.--- by David Isenbergh. Psalm 119: 117 Hold me up, and I shall be safe, And I shall observe Your statutes continually. Obey traffic laws so you can drive to arrive.

Theme Bible Verses

Matthew 12:34 You brood of vipers! how can you speak good, when you are evil? For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. 37 for by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned." Proverbs 16:28 A perverse man spreads strife, and a whisperer separates close friends. Proverbs 17: 9 He who forgives an offense seeks love, but he who repeats a matter alienates a friend. Leviticus 19:16 You shall not go up and down as a slanderer among your people, and you shall not stand forth against the life of your neighbour: I am the LORD. Proverbs 26:20 For lack of wood the fire goes out; and where there is no whisperer, quarrelling ceases. 22 The words of a whisperer are like delicious morsels; they go down into the inner parts of the body. Proverbs 11:13 He who goes about as a talebearer reveals secrets, but he who is trustworthy in spirit keeps a thing hidden. Psalms 34:13 Keep your tongue from evil, and your lips from speaking deceit. Charles For: Frien...

Did You Know?

Creativity comes from God the Creator and He has given us pro-creative abilities in different areas to make the world a better place and provide works of charity. In TLF we are big on arts, crafts and creativity. We celebrate creativity. Many people have been able to support charitable causes from creative art exhibitions and sales. Many others have also used their creative works to raise awareness on various laudable causes for social development. Take for instance in our theme for this month, we have selected some creative art works that will help pass our message to us in an artistic way. Also in our Centre, we host children who often come just to draw and make things from recycled materials. We strongly invite you to like our facebook page - TLF Creativity. We also share and retweet such creativity on our X handle that we also invite you to like and share. Our various artworks in TLF add to the posters we paste around and the comics we also produce and share out. Join our facebook ...
