Washington

"Electric-assisted bicycle" means a bicycle with two or three wheels, a saddle, fully operative pedals for human propulsion, and an electric motor.

The electric-assisted bicycle's electric motor must have a power output of no more than one thousand watts, be incapable of propelling the device at a speed of more than twenty miles per hour on level ground, and be incapable of further increasing the speed of the device when human power alone is used to propel the device beyond twenty miles per hour.

No person may drive either a two-wheeled or a three-wheeled motorcycle, or a motor-driven cycle unless such person has a valid driver's license specially endorsed by the director to enable the holder to drive such vehicles.

No driver's license is required for operation of an electric-assisted bicycle if the operator is at least sixteen years of age. Persons under sixteen years of age may not operate an electric-assisted bicycle.

Persons operating electric-assisted bicycles shall comply with all laws and regulations related to the use of bicycle helmets.

Electric-assisted bicycles and motorized foot scooters may have access to highways of the state to the same extent as bicycles.

Electric-assisted bicycles and motorized foot scooters may be operated on a multipurpose trail or bicycle lane, but local jurisdictions may restrict or otherwise limit the access of electric-assisted bicycles and motorized foot scooters, and state agencies may regulate the use of motorized foot scooters on facilities and properties under their jurisdiction and control.

What club should I start next year at my school?




Kathy


So I was thinking
Future Doctors of America
or an
AP Study Group - Somewhere we can get together and study/prepare/do homework together for AP classes.

What would look better on college applications?
THANKS!



Answer
The two clubs that you'd mentioned sound like good ideas. Regarding the AP Study Group, however, I would ask the guidance counselor or Activities Coordinator if that would actually be considered a student activity club or rather a "study group", know what I mean. The Future Doctors of America is apparently a career interest group, just fyi :)

I'm thinking that colleges look for well-rounded students who have participated in a variety of types of clubs such as an academic and/or or language club, social group and community service types of groups.

How about considering starting a club for volunteerism, Students Against Destructive Decisions (SADD), world language club, science or math club, art club, cultural group, debate team, animal rights group, student government (if that's not already "on the docket"), environmental club, peer tutors (though meeting in neutral places such as the school itself), choir or such.

This other site has some tips on "how to start a club at school" (albeit the site is also not for school or professional research): http://www.ehow.com/how_4324_start-club-school.html

For more info re: (regarding) SADD and how to form a chapter: http://www.sadd.org/pdf/FAQs.pdf

Topics that you may cover and educate your classmates and school mates about include the dangers of 'huffing' (fumes or chemical vapors), risks of 'the choking game', driving while intoxicated (DWI) and that includes any types of substances including inhalants, distracted driving (and you can make a new acronym DWI or "driving while inattentive" which includes texting, cell phone use, tuning in a radio station, engaging in conversation), the importance of wearing a helmet while riding a bicycle or motorcycle, skateboarding, skiing, riding a scooter and any other topics that may help to prevent injury to another or even death.

Regarding the huffing or inhalant use, my friend has a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) at the age of 12, now in her 30s. Other risks of huffing include sight loss/blindness, heart/liver/kidney damage, seizures, limb spasms, hearing loss and even death, all of which can happen after the very FIRST time of use. Field experts have referred to inhalant use as "Chemical Russian roulette" for that very reason.

Pertaining to 'the choking game', risks incude seizures, stroke ("brain attack") which is a type of brain injury and death, too. Some professionals have referred to 'the choking game' or 'the pass out game' as "Suffociation roulette".
