ESSAY TOPIC FOR THE SCHOLARSHIP COMPETITION

At Warren & Kallianos, we work with clients every day who have been hurt in all types of auto accidents. Among young people, two of the major causes of crashes are drunk driving and technological distractions. We invite you to share your perspective on these driving dangers by submitting an essay that addresses

ONE OF THE FOLLOWING TOPICS:

How do the marketing tactics of local businesses impact the consumption of alcohol by college students who drive? Do businesses play a role in over drinking? Or do they play more of a role in preventing drinking and driving?

Are self-driving cars a powerful introduction to the marketplace, or do they create more havoc on the roadways?

What are the pros and cons of technology and driving?
