27/5/2012

Mohammed started his presentation by introducing himself to the audience. The subject was very interesting for everyone which was about reckless driving. In the very beginning, Mohammed highlighted the subtopics that he was going to discuss. First of all, he talked about the causes of the problem which were: racing, distraction, and a lot of other causes. In fact Mohammed went through each one individually and discussed them all. After that he moved to the consequences of the problem; also it was very dangerous and it would affect the whole society; from his point of view suspending the driving license was the most important one. The solutions were discussed at the end of the presentation; he expressed it in two parts, government responsibilities and individual responsibilities. In addition he highlighted the best solutions from his opinion to stop those reckless drivers in order to keep our society safe. Finally a few questions were asked and Mohammed answered all questions clearly.

Mohammed was a little nervous at the beginning of the presentation, but he got over it later on. His presentation was well prepared and supported by explanation pictures. I felt that he had a lot of knowledge about the issue, because he controlled all questions.

Reflection on a meeting

Early in the morning Rashed started the meeting with Yousef and Omar which was about car accidents by running through the agenda.  Each one participated with different ideas. As a result of the meeting there were different points that must be raised quickly and dealt with. There should be more theory classes to be started at school. Moreover the police department should intensify their patrols because we can’t raise the fines more. In the driving schools there will be classes that include students from different nationalities and different ages to let them know each other and avoid other mistakes. In addition, a letter will be sent to the DOT asking them to get ready for emergency situations and provide emergency roads. Finally it was a useful meeting; we discussed different solutions to the problem.

Finally Saleh asked if the company has a training program and Mohamed answered yes there is a training program for about 6 months
