Local News: Florida Has a “red”

Highway Safety Rating By Ryan Horwitz

Ever heard of highway safety ratings? If you haven’t, then you don’t want to. Why? Florida is rated among the worst

for highway safety; in fact, Florida has a “red” rating. And, I have seen something that makes me believe this too. On

the way to the Dade schools Science and Art Fair, I saw a car on the side of the road with its engine on fire! Florida

doesn’t have an effective booster seat law, and not enough people wear seatbelts, causing people to die. But can

you believe it? There were 2, 494 road fatalities in 2014! All of this mayhem is happening because Florida lacks basic

safety laws. Another effect of this is police coming schools to teach about highway safety. By the way, on your next

car ride, remind the driver not to text. Good luck with highway safety and BE SAFE!

This year the Zika virus has caused a very bad health

issues in the world. It has spread to more than 30

countries across the world. In Brazil a baby was born

without almost any brain tissue. Brazil has made a

substance that protects you from mosquitos. It also stays

on for six washes but a lot of people can’t buy it because

it costs a lot of money. If the Zika mosquito bites you

when the dangerous amounts of fluid builds up it causes swelling and

damage to many different parts of the body. In Coral Gables Florida

there are a least ten cases of the Zika virus. In some places they are

asking women not to have babies until 2018.
