getting pulled over by law enforcement is because they have reasonable suspicion about the drivers acts it could be speeding, broken tail light, etc. Any officer has the right to ask you to perform a field sobriety test and you have to obey.
An officer will only tell you your Miranda rights if and only you get arrested. some other topics they discussed were that when arrested in order to be released early is by paying bail. After bail then come a date for being arraigned then trail where the judge will then sentence and charge suspect.
i also learnt statistics from the police officers. They explained and show signs of impaired drivers. The signs and percentages are below.

asignment 9/23
ASIGNMENT:List 8 areas where it is illegal to pass another vehicle and give a reason why you think it is unsafe to pass in these areas. This is a type 2 writing.
TYPE 2:
The eight places where it is illegal to pass a vehicle are when on curves, at intersections, on a hill, where it is not safe to pass, at railroad crossings, at a no passing zone, in a tunnel, and on a bridge.
The reason why you cant pass on a curve is because you cant see whats coming the other way. You cant pass at intersections because cars come from all directions. You cant pass on a hill because you cant see over the hill. passing where it is not safe is not permitted because its not safe. you cant pass on a no passing zone because its the law. passing in a tunnel and on a bridge is also not permitted because they are too narrow and there is not a lot of room.

Asignment 7/11
Graduated Licensing
FCA's
1) explain what the Vermont Graduated License Law is all about.
2) Express in your own words how you feel about the law and would you suggest any changes to the law.
3) correct spelling and grammar.
Graduated licensing.
Graduated licensing is for the age of at least 15 years and must hold permit for one year before getting a junior operating license unless 18 years of age. The law says that you must be accompanied in the car by someone who is 25 years or older, drivers ed teacher, and parent or guardian.
To carry a junior operators license you have to be 16 or 17 years of age and have your learners permit for at least one year. I feel that this law was very well thought out and is fair and also takes the side of the safety of young drivers.
