Brakes on Driving Schools... or on ALL learner drivers?

The recent article in the People’s post dated 24 May 2016 titled “Brakes on Driving schools” reports several allegations made against driving schools operating at the Athlone Stadium parking area. All of which create the impression that these businesses have acted illegally and which effectively accuses them of "squatting" on City land.

The article quotes Yvette Tsolo the City’s head of facilities as stating that the driving schools have no formal agreement (to be there) with the City. It goes on to state that the fencing has been damaged by vehicles used by driving schools, including trucks and that trucks pose a weight bearing problem to the surface of the lot. It then invokes our need to protect the children who use it as a thoroughfare because the “various vehicles on the site could pose an immediate safety risk.”

Several of these statements need to be challenged quite directly. The impression created is that these driving schools are businesses that operate outside of the law. This, to my layman’s thinking would render them criminal. If the City asserts that these schools have acted illegally in any way then it begs answering why nothing has been done in the way of prosecution of these “offenders”?  What is the illegal action or behaviour these schools are guilty of? What laws have been broken? Importantly, what evidence is there to support this allegation?

Every vehicle driver passing the Stadium is able to access the parking area without restriction or access control of any kind as has been the case since the stadium was first constructed. Notwithstanding the fact that fences have been damaged and clearly so by vehicles, I would challenge the City to prove that any damage caused to its recently (2013) erected fencing was in fact caused by  vehicles of driving schools “including trucks”.

Surely if this statement were true in any respect and the City was aware of the culprit being a formal business I would like to think that in the interest of good governance and as custodian of public property, it would have instituted proceedings against that culprit to recover the cost of repairs.

If it has such proof then let it provide it and let it recover the costs of such damage from the culprit/s responsible for such damage and also charge the officials in charge at the stadium who are clearly in dereliction of their duty to protect the public property/strategic asset in their custody.

If it has no such proof then its officials should unconditionally apologise to all the schools accused from as public a platform as the one from which they chose to utter these as yet unsubstantiated remarks.

Claiming that unladen trucks pose a threat to the surface of the parking lot again evokes a sense of concern but more so as an indictment of the City than of the driving schools. How is it possible that the City could approve the construction of a parking area, initially intended to be part of a Soccer World Cup venue and not insist that it could bear the weight of heavy vehicles like buses, which I can only imagine would be fully laden.

Are we now really to believe that heavy vehicles like buses could cause the stadium parking area to collapse and if so, what does that say about the provision of substandard facilities to the people of Athlone?  Normally substantially heavily overloaded trucks have been known to cause subsidence, but empty trucks carrying only a learner and instructor? Really?

There are always safety concerns when people learn to drive. This risk is compounded by parents who allow their children to run in the streets unsupervised. It is compounded by a complete lack of adequate traffic law enforcement and it will be further compounded by forcing learners to get behind the wheel for the very first time on actual roads with other traffic. Learner drivers, I would argue pose less of a risk on a parking area than they would on a normal road so how exactly does this decision make the area safer? 

Given the motivation for the decision provided by your article and attributed to Ms Yvette Tsolo of the City, I have to suspect that these “reasons”, generalizations and assumptions mask some ulterior motive behind this administrative action by public officials.

While dealing with all these speculative comments from the City, lets speculate a little of our own. What if they want to establish a flea market there? or What if they have been offered R100k per month to put an advertising tower there?  What if they are quite prepared to rip up the parking area completely to build it?  What if they need a reason to require the tar to be lifted? But hey let’s not get ahead of ourselves just because their stated reasons don’t add up or lack substance.

For now every driving school blanket banned and accused of illegal activities without a shred of evidence being provided of such wrongdoing on their part should simply seek to have the City officials concerned provide each of them with reasons for this administrative action (as it relates to their specific businesses and not a generalization) which compromises their livelihood. Section 5 of the Promotion of Administrative Justice Act allows for this and also requires the administrator concerned to respond.. 

There are also remedies available to every school operating at the stadium parking area whose reputations have been drawn into disrepute by the libellous comments and unsubstantiated utterances about their alleged unlawful behaviour.

While we could get into Mr Montanus’ comments it is appreciated that holding a City tender may not always allow one the freedom to state one’s mind. Interestingly he did mention that there have been no complaints about the driving schools in the “more than five years” he has operated in the area. Really? What about the danger alleged by the City?

I therefore cannot help but ask…does the City Management actually know the basic laws applicable to open space whether owned privately or publicly? It certainly appears that they do not and so it needs to be explained so that the innocent businessmen who have been labelled as criminals by their mere presence on the parking area do not have their reputations further damaged by ill-informed and poorly chosen remarks by those who should know better.

The stadium until 2013 had no fence around any of its parking areas. As a consequence of this failure to fence the area and restrict access to the parking area by the general public, it fell squarely within the definition of  “public road” as contemplated in the Road Traffic Ordinance 21/1966 the Road Traffic Act 29/1989 and also its successor in law, the National Road Traffic Act 93/1996.

Nevada among top 10 safe states for teen drivers

LAS VEGAS REVIEW-JOURNAL

At Valley High School, driver’s education is classroom instruction only.

So it was a rare sight Friday when driver’s ed teacher Michael Grady set up cones in the parking lot to give onlooking students a lesson in parallel parking.

“They can’t be in the car with me … This is the best we can do with the current setup,” he said.

A SAFE ENVIRONMENT?

Grady has been teaching the rules of the road for 30 years.

He’s been in Las Vegas for only two of those years, teaching the subject through the Clark County School District and the A-1 Driving School, but he already has a solid grasp on the lay of the land when it comes to teens and driving.

Which is why he finds it “hard to believe” that a recently released study by CarInsurance.com ranked Nevada in the top 10 among states for providing the safest environment for teen drivers.

“That would be a shock,” Grady said. “From what I’ve seen in my two years, people are aggressive — very aggressive on the road. Few people respect the speed limit or use turn signals, and you have visitors who are coming to visit us for a short time and are not familiar with the Spaghetti Bowl.”

Grady, who came from teaching an after-school driver’s ed course in Washington state, is a proponent of in-person interaction.

The online courses accepted by the state Department of Motor Vehicles are not enough, he said.

“If Kylee (a student) has a question, I’d like to think I can answer it for her, but online, are they really getting the information they need?” he asked. “I want to make sure we give them as much information as we can give them to prepare them for the DMV test, and make sure they are safe, defensive drivers.”

STAYING AWAY FROM FREEWAY

To identify the best and worst states for teen drivers, CarInsurance.com analyzed the following:

■ Number of teen driver fatalities per 100,000 population

■ Effectiveness of graduated driving license (GDL) components

■ Teen drinking and driving rates

■ Teen emailing/texting and driving rates

■ Average annual insurance costs for teen drivers

While the study did not expressly address whether a state is pedestrian-friendly, Kevin Moore, Zero Teen Fatalities program manager, believes Nevada’s ranking may be fueled by the experience teens get behind the wheel, especially in Las Vegas.

“Neither Las Vegas, or Reno, our other large city, are pedestrian-friendly cities,” he said. “ Any teen who learns how to drive in Las Vegas is experiencing 10 times more driving traffic situations as when they travel to other cities. Volume is so much larger than other cities in the state. Teens get a better foundation for driving if they learn in Las Vegas. It’s definitely scary, but it’s going to make you a better driver.”

Grady disagrees.

“This town is very difficult,” he said. “We have so many people in a tight area. I stay away from it (the freeway), unless parents ask me to give them a more challenging environment.”

He said parents are afraid to teach their children how to drive in Las Vegas, which is why they seek Grady’s help through A-1 Driving.

“I haven’t gotten on the freeway much,” said 17-year-old Kylee Coombs. “My dad wants me to avoid it until I really need to. This summer, I’ll be driving to work, and I’ll have to go through the Spaghetti Bowl.”

He advises his students to stay away from the hot spots such as freeways, especially during morning and evening rush hours.

“Friday and Saturday nights on the freeway in Las Vegas is a very scary place to be,” he said. “They have to make adjustments and stay away from those areas.”

STRENGTHENING LAWS

According to the study, Nevada could cut its teen fatal crash rate by 24 percent if a stricter GDL law was in place.

“I definitely feel the graduated license law has made a positive effect on our young drivers,” Moore said. “But we can make GDL more robust and set minimum standards, and ensure teens meet the minimum requirements before they get a full driver’s license.”

One component of Nevada’s current law does not allow teen drivers to have passengers under the age of 18 for the first six months after they receive their licenses. Moore said he would like to see that period extended to a full year.

In Nevada, of the 39 fatalities in crashes involving a young driver in 2014, 19 were drivers between the ages of 15 and 20; six of the fatalities were passengers in that age range; and five fatalities were passengers over 21, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

“Passengers are the No. 1 distraction for teen drivers,” Moore said. “Simply adding one passenger under the age of 21 increases their risk of getting into an accident by 50 percent. Every time they add another teenage passenger, the percentage continues to go up.”

Grady, however, believes cellphones are a teen’s biggest distraction and that the problem will only continue to worsen.

“Kids admit that they cannot help but be on their phones, and that naturally carries over into the car,” he said.

Grady and Moore agree, however, that the GDL laws can only do so much, especially when students wait till they turn 18.

According to data provided by the DMV, there were 8,256 16-year-olds with a license in July 2002; in July 2015, the number dropped to 5,461.

“In my experience, I’m finding when I go and talk to teenagers in school, a lot of them are circumventing the graduated licensing law,” he said. “If you wait till you’re 18, you don’t have a meet those requirements anymore. You just have to pass the test and you get full driving privileges.”

Moore said he believes those who do this are finding themselves in situations “they simply aren’t prepared for.”

Grady believes the decision is tied to a lack of money on the part of the student and their family, with some online DMV courses costing $200.

Because of Valley High School’s socioeconomics, the school has made the driver’s ed course — although it lacks a hands-on portion — a priority, Grady said.

“You see kids driving illegally now, because they can’t afford it, and the pressure is on them to help their family out,” Grady said.

Mock DWI accident aims to discourage high school students from driving drunk

A red Dodge Grand Caravan and a red Chevy Sonic rested just outside of Mid-Buchanan High School Monday — both with smashed front ends, cracked windshields and deployed airbags.

Red and blue lights flashed on top of a Buchanan County Sheriff vehicle and a helicopter could be heard overhead as high school students watched the scene unfold.

Grace Jenkins, sophomore, was in one of the vehicles with another student.

“I knew it wasn’t real but … people have been in this situation before and it’s scary knowing that they have,” Jenkins said.

Buchanan County Sheriff’s deputies and the Missouri State Highway Patrol held a mock drunken driving accident presentation at Mid-Buchanan on Monday. High school students had the opportunity to see what a drunken driving accident scene looks like and how emergency crews respond.

Four students pretended to have been involved in an accident and their classmates watched as emergency personnel and a helicopter responded, taking Jenkins into the helicopter on a stretcher because she played the role of a critically injured victim.

Cpl. Sarah Hardin, Buchanan County Sheriff’s Department, said involving Mid-Buchanan students in the mock accident was imperative.

“We want to make it real for them and involve their own students,” Hardin said. “I think it’s easier to push it away and not deal with it when it’s just a video or outsiders telling us things. But when we see our own students who are part of our school family here, it hits home a little bit more.”

Jenkins applied makeup to her face to make it appear as though she had been badly injured and was bleeding. She said emergency responders spoke to her during the mock accident as if it was a real incident.

“I definitely don’t want to be in a helicopter in that situation, seriously. I was in that helicopter thinking about all the people who have probably ridden in that helicopter and were in bad shape,” Jenkins said.

Hardin said members of the St. Joseph Safety Council feel it’s important to visit area schools in the spring before prom to hold the drunken driving presentation.

“We educate kids throughout the year, but we want to give a little extra reminder in the springtime as we know they are heading out to big parties,” Hardin said.

Freshmen, sophomores, juniors and seniors at Mid-Buchanan participated Monday. The school holds the presentation every other year, allowing each student to see it twice before graduating. Schools in St. Joseph School District hold the presentation every year for the sophomore class, Hardin said.

Jenkins said she thinks Monday’s presentation had an impact on her classmates.

“At the beginning, they kind of laughed when they saw us and said, ‘Oh, that’s so funny. Grace has makeup on her face and she’s trying not to smile.’ But then I think maybe they were like, ‘This is serious and this needs to be taken seriously,’” Jenkins said. “We’ve had this experience before so we don’t need to joke about it.”

A Mid-Buchanan student was involved in a drunken driving accident at the beginning of the school year where he was hit by a drunken driver, Hardin said.

“The students here have watched him as he recovers from that accident and how his life has changed as a result of that accident,” Hardin said. “So it kind of hits home here but we still want to do that extra reminder that it’s easy to lose yourself on prom night or at graduation parties and forget to be safe.”

The schools involved are: Northern Penobscot Tech Region III in Lincoln, Region 9 School of Applied Technology in Mexico/Rumford, Tri-County Technical Center in Dexter, and Westbrook Regional Vocational Center, according to a news release from Ron Round, Maine Professional Drivers Association.

This event, named in memory of Dick Dolloff, a former truck driving instructor at the Westbrook Regional Vocational Center, is sponsored by an association of these schools with assistance from the Maine Motor Transport Association, the Maine Professional Drivers Association, and members of the Maine State Police.

There are two classes of competition; class B — which is a straight truck, and class A — which is a tractor- trailer.

Students will vie for trophies for themselves and their schools and the top two finishers in each class from each school will move on the the Future Truckers Competition to be held on May 21.

Delhi govt can't seal illegal driving schools: CBI tells court

Delhi government has no statutory power to seal unauthorised motor driving schools which have mushroomed in the capital due to lack of stringent law, CBI has told a court.

CBI, which was directed by Delhi High Court to probe the alleged nexus between Delhi Transport Authority and the driving schools, in its report highlighted the laxity in the provisions of the 1988 Motor Vehicle Act.

"Transport department has no power either to seal or impound unauthorised schools. The absence of specific stringent penal provision in Motor Vehicle (MV) Act resulted in mushrooming of unauthorised motor driving training schools (MDTS)," CBI told Special Judge Vinod Kumar.

The probe agency said there was no provision prescribed specifically in the MV Act to take action against unauthorised MDTS, barring a liberal fine of Rs 100 against such vehicles.

It said even after imposing a fine on the vehicles of unauthorized MDTS, they continue to ply due to the liberal provisions of MV Act.

"After thorough examination of the rules and procedures pertaining to issuance and renewal of licences of the MDTS, it was found that MV Act/Rules have deficient penal provisions against errant MDTS operating in violation of MV rules," CBI said.

However, the Enforcement Wing of transport department has taken action against 458 vehicles during special drives against vehicles of unauthorised MDTS between 2006 and 2012 for offences prescribed under MV Act and Delhi Motor Vehicle Rules, 1993.

"Investigation has further disclosed that as per provisions of MV Act, after prosecution of a vehicle, no further action regarding suspension/cancellation of registration certificate can be initiated against the same vehicle by the Operation Branch," the agency added.

The CBI, which had re-investigated the case after the court rejected its earlier closure report in 2011 with a direction to further investigate, said "Transport Department has also taken up the matter with the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways for incorporating suitable strict penal provision.
(Reopens LGD4)

Online driver’s education a bad idea

About four years ago an out-of-state online driver education company approached Ohio wanting to bring their “Online Driver Education” into Ohio. Those in the business of setting quality training standards for Ohio teens were in agreement that it is was a bad idea to allow teenagers to sit at home and take a driver education course, especially since traffic crashes are the No. 1 cause of teen deaths. The online company was denied. However, a few months later, a bill was introduced by a state representative to pass a law to allow online driver education in Ohio. This left many scratching their heads and wondering what changed from being a bad idea to a bill being introduced. One suggested answer was, as with many laws, special interest groups donate money towards campaign contributions in order to get laws passed. Unfortunately, these laws aren’t passed for “the good of the people” but mostly for the monetary gain of the interest group. At a meeting in Columbus put on by the Dept. of Public Safety, the question was posed, “Other than convenience for a teen to sit at home, what other benefits does the online program provide compared to the classroom training?” None were given. As a 27-year veteran with the Ohio State Patrol, this is the most nonsensical law I have ever seen passed.
