I believe that people should stop texting while driving because it not only endangers themselves but others around them. Family members, friends and strangers can be hurt by a simple mistake; their lives can be overturned(倾覆) completely.

Before I participated in the Thumb Wars campaign, I used to put sticky(粘的) notes inside my car to advise any person that was within it not to text while driving. I posted a quote on my social pages that said, “Drive now text later.” The message especially caught my dad’s attention. Since he is on the road about three out of the seven days of the week, we are all worried about his safety. He decided to never use his phone while driving. When it comes to informing other people about the dangers of texting while driving, I usually bring up conversations about driving which then lead me to lecture them on why they shouldn't text while driving. Thumb Wars has given me a new way and opportunity to prevent people from texting while driving.

The era we live in today is all about technology, and there is always the urge to text. Thumb Wars is an inspirational campaign that fights against that. What I was trying to achieve was to not only change my life, but also try to influence the lives of others for the better. I believe that I can make people realize the consequences of texting while driving. They all know that it is not worth it and could change someone's life instantly. I believe that if there were more campaigns like Thumb Wars there would be fewer accidents because more people would be aware of the effects of texting while driving.

All a person needs is inspiration and efforts to avoid texting while driving. Thumb Wars is a good channel, which makes it the ideal campaign to help with others and make a difference in this world.

A hybrid electric vehicle（混合动力车）or HEV is a vehicle driven by the combination of petrol engine and electric motor. Terence has been driving a HEV for five years. He really doesn't understand why more people aren't accepting them. "I probably spend about $ 7 a day on petrol," "the taxi diver told news. com. au. In his previous conventional vehicle Terrence said he was spending up to $ 30 a day an petrol, meaning he saves almost $ 6000 every year.

The Toyota spokesman said this was quite a high saving and official tests estimate（估计）an average driver would only save about 33 percent off their current bill. This means a driver paying $ 30 a day on petrol would see their bill drop to about $ 20 using the hybrid. "A taxi driver that drives in built-up areas and spends little time on highways will notice a higher fuel saving," he said. "Low speeds allow the electric motors to be used more and the petrol engine used less."

While some people are skeptical about how reliable hybrids are, Terrence said he had never run out of power. His Camry cost about $ 34,000 and so after five years, it's nearly paid for itself. "For cab drivers, it's a real advantage because of the cost-effectiveness," he said. Terrence has no complaints about the car. "I love it, the calm and quietness of it, the simplicity of it-you just jump in and go. The maintenance is really low. But the only difficulty is finding someone to service the car as there are not many experienced mechanics.

Terrence said it's "extraordinary" that more drivers aren't buying more hybrid electric vehicles and that governments are not encouraging this more. "I think people have a view that you have to plug it in which is not true. A lack of information about the cars may he stopping people from taking the plunge. It's not promoted at all for the public to understand-it's simplifying the actual owning of a car-you don't have to do so many things to own it and run it, it's just so much simpler. Why wouldn't the government promote such a thing?

The best way to enjoy these famous redwoods is to ride a railbike, a two-person, pedal-operated vehicle that sits steadily on the train tracks. This allows passengers to ride along the Redwood Route in electric-powered and almost silent bike. The bikes are extremely easy to ride and operate, making them suitable for all ages. They also come with an electric-assist if you want to take a break from pedaling or need a bit of help.

The railbike leaves from the Skunk Train Depot and will take you on a one-hour round trip ride through the redwood forest along the Pudding Creek Estuary. The Redwood Forest is a dreamlike place, particularly on a rainy or foggy day, like a scene from Jurassic Park. With the railbikes traveling along the Pudding Creek Estuary, you can't help but think that a brontosaurus might be around the next corner. The end of the line is at Glen Blair Junction, which is 3.5 miles along the Redwood Route. This site has been changed into a beautiful stop with picnic tables and easy to hike trails into the redwoods.

You'll need to pay $250 to rent a bike, plus the 8% Historic Preservation Assessment. There is no discount for single riders, so be sure to visit with a partner. If you have a large family, you can also rent multiple bikes and take the trip as a group, remaining close to each other while still being able to move forward at your own pace.
