Default College essay

Awh, i hate these things. I know its offtopic but not completely. I am only posting it in here because i know itll get much more traffic and im know more people here than anywhere else. Plus you guys are awsome.

I need some help finding research/websites with information. I decided to do mine on aggresive driving and the people who do it.

Id like to find information such as, what types of veichals they drive, age group, background, ethniciy, anything and everything. Also, if you can not provide information from a website, a short story of a personal encounter, personal only, would work great too, i can throw in some interviews.

This needs to be a 10 page essay so, dont worry about overdoing it. Its not that im having trouble finding information, id just like to see what others can come up with and get the best information.

Been there, done that. I hate freshman english, didn't learn anything and it looks like just a cheap way for the universities to get money.

Oh yeah, I think Lubbock has the worst drivers in the USA maybe the world. I can give you plenty of stories of stupid aggressive drivers.

Freshman English is a complete waste of time. I used all of my papers from high school. I just simply made sure that all of the topics I chose could be backed up by essays I had written in the past. It is funny to note that I still get all A's. Hahaha, college is a joke!

You might want to check out some police reports, as that would seem to have stories about seriously aggressive drivers. Also, it would be a completely valid source.

Another place to try is your local insurance man or a few of them. As long as your not asking for the persons private data. My sister worked for an insurance company many years. She was always showing us reports of stupid/crazy/dangerous things that they had happen that quarter/year. Explain what it is for and they may be able to provide drawers full of examples.
