Project 365

Welcome! This is my own 365 project of creating at least one post per day about the stuff that I learnt, achieved, and found, the stuff that made me happy, or the new thing I did every single day.

The project was started on 21 February 2010. It has stopped for few times but I am determined to continue!

This project is dedicated to myself. I want to feel grateful for every single thing I have. I want to be thankful for my own life. I just want to feel that I have enough.

Street Terrorism in Saudi Arabia

 

  • Saudi Arabia has the highest car accident death rate in the world
  • 17 deaths on average occurred daily because of traffic accidents
  • In 2009, 6,485 died in car accidents in Saudi Arabia, while 4,644 died in Iraq because of terrorist attacks

I beg to everyone… please, please drive within speed limit and obey the traffic rules!

Texting While Driving

Here are some statistics related to texting while driving in the States:

  • Of all cell phone related tasks – including talking, dialing, or reaching for the phone – texting while driving is the most dangerous
  • For every 6 seconds of drive time, a driver sending or receiving a text message spends 4.6 of those seconds with their eyes off the road. This makes texting the most distracting of all cell phone related tasks.
  • Texting while driving is about 6 times more likely to result in an accident than driving while intoxicated
  • 28% of traffic accidents occur when people talk on cell phones or send text messages while driving

I’m just concerned towards Indonesian people who can’t take their hands off their mobile phones… 🙁
