Everyone
now a days drive, driving is a skill. Not just anyone can get behind
the wheel and start driving you need to be a certain age and have
practice. This past year 2018 about
an estimated of 4.5 million people were seriously injured
in car
crashes.
The top 3 causes of car accidents are Distracted
Driving, drunk driving, and Speeding. A
new study that followed more than 150,000 teen drivers over
eight years has found that driver’s
education significantly reduces
crashes and
traffic violations among new drivers. And also driver’s
education gives you these benefits Convenience
online course can be done in the comfort of your own home, Acceptance
by State Authorities, Fewer Distractions Learn at Your Own Pace,
Beneficial When Living Out Of Town, Independence, and Preparation for
Driver’s License, Drugs and Alcohol Awareness.
To
reduce the number of deaths related to driving we can put the phones
down be responsible and not drunk drive take an Uber or cab when you
go places and you know you are going to drink. Also put more speed
cameras around because when people see there isn’t no one around
they speed but if you hide the speeding cameras I bet you they will
not speed again they’ll keep racking up tickets. Teenagers also
drive very irresponsible. One night I asked my 18 year old boy cousin
to drive me to my friend’s house and he was doing 70 mph on a 30
speed limit lane I was so scared I told him I’m getting out the car
and he thought it was funny till I actually got out and started
walking. My mother also got in a few car crashes herself, the sun was
in her eyes and she tried to stop but she couldn’t see so she
bumped the bumper of a car at a red light.
To
become a safer driver on the road we can put our cellphones down
buckle our seat belts and pay attention. While were driving we need
to think about others because our actions can affect other people’s
life. Driving is all about our actions we need to think about these
things Focus on driving,
Plan
Ahead, In the case of an accident, focus your eyes on where to go,
Maintain control when tires blow out, Go the speed limit, Get your
road rage under control Watch the weather, Look both ways at an
intersection.
To
be a good driver you should have these qualities, patient,
responsible, well-trained and educated, enough practice, and follows
traffic rules and regulations.
