Testing Hypothesis - Part 1

1. The opportunity that I would like to pursue, would be streets with intelligent signs, and with alarms that would tell people when they’re doing something wrong, and directly hit them with the fine.
2. People on the street, know that they're committing an infraction, but they don't really care, because they know there's a great chance that they won't be fined. If someone would find a way to make that stop it would be awesome. 

The Who: Everyone who drives.

The What: Policeman unable to fine every person for their fractions driving.

The why: Policeman do help a lot so people do not commit infractions, but they can't have eyes everywhere all the time. People are also irresponsible and think they can get away with it.

3. Hypothesis: Considering that a lot of traffic accidents occur because people do not follow rules, and the amount of people that die because of it, a new idea that keeps the people in order would considerably save many lives.

4. Interviews.

Teresa Dominguez. Teresa Dominguez is a housemaid that rides the bus everyday. When I started interviewing Teresa on a way to have better traffic regulations, she couldn't agree more with the fact that many drivers are unconsidered with the people walking, and many others with their peer drivers.She told me she had been in an accident once and that it was because of an irresponsible guy that didn't follow the red light.

Maria Dager: Maria is a Senior UF student, that studies anthropology. As most people everyday, she drives to school and to her work. When I asked Maria about the traffic regulations that should be implemented, she said that the irresponsible driving has affected her, but mostly at big cities, she says people in Gainesville drive okay, but it would be a great idea for a city like Miami.

Roberto Yulee: Roberto Yulee is also a UF senior student. Roberto can testify about an accident he had like a year ago. He was driving his scouter and a guy turned around, missing the yellow light, and did not see Roberto, he flew away and landed on his leg, he almost lost it, but it's a pleasure to say he's okay today. A traffic regulation would've helped a lot in this case.

Christel Roggiero: Christel Roggiero owns a Jewelry store in Ecuador. She drives everyday to her job. She hates the irresponsible drivers. She told me that she'd had many troubles with irresponsible drivers and that she's been afraid for her life because of it. She praised my idea and said that it really should be implemented especially in places where people need driving education and populated places.

Victor Haon: Victor is an international student from Ecuador that goes to Santa Fe College. Victor owns a car, and drives everyday to Santa Fe, Victor says that Gainesville is pretty fine with respect to traffic regulation, but he says that whenever he goes to Miami, roads are somehow confusing and that troubles him a lot, intelligent streets would be a solution.

5) I really learned a lot from people in my interviews, they provided a broader perspective to my idea, and ways to develop a solution. I learned that the traffic problem is real, and that I'm not the only one thinking that in the future, with better technologies, it should be a developed idea.
