The Saftey Of Driving
Driving is a privilege and should be treated as such. Everyone on the road is responsible for themselves as long as the others. Driving school is important because you need to learn from a professional and not a relative or a person close to you. The reasoning for that statement is because for one when people learn from older people sometimes the material they learn might not apply to you currently. Two, the person who is teaching you will teach you how they drive, and sometimes it will not be correct. Lastly, for the written part, they can’t teach you because the material as they know is less than a driving school. They have to teach you the different signs and what they mean along with what if questions about what would you do in this situation. In my opinion, I believe that a relative can teach you the basic materials as the school can help advance it. The school can go into dept with the rules on the road showing videos and scenarios along with the questions that you can take.With hands on, they’ll show you how to drive professionally for the safety of you and others, telling you what and what not to do. When you go through this process, it will stick with you as you proceed in life. You’ll know the consequences of doing things against the law while driving, not staying focused, and not using techniques to stay awake on the road. Distracted driving is taught in schools, and it’s one of the popular reasons for death. Considering they will be educated, they will know better and listen and not try to take risks and be a responsible driver for their safety as long with others. There are multiple reasons for death while driving, distracted driving, speeding, driving under the influence, and reckless driving. You learn how to not be these types of drivers in driving school but in life, everyone isn’t going to follow the agenda. If you are a responsible driver you can make yourself and others safe. Reckless drivers mostly come from a person’s state of mind which is angry and aggressive individuals as well as having no patience. Advice for these situations is to let them pass you so they can go about their day. Escalating the situation can cause problems such as road rage that can end terribly. As well as speeding just let them pass you and try to not get in their way. Focusing on your surroundings can help you avoid dangerous situations, and follow the road rules even if others on the road aren’t. Being an example might influence someone else who is on the road. In my life I have been in a total of three accidents, my first accident stuck with me as I was in the fourth grade. It was morning and my mom and I were getting ready to leave for school. We got in the car as my mom was going down the street, she stopped at the stop sign for some reason there was a car that didn’t stop for their stop sign. Our cars collided hitting my side and damaging the car significantly. I remember immediately crying on impact as my mom asked if I was okay to which I was. We got out of the car and my mom told me to go back home as she confronted the woman. I didn’t go to school that day as we lost the car after the situation. We didn’t have a car until I was in eighth grade, for four years we were riding the metro. Once she did get the car they were lemons so they weren’t good. That’s something of my childhood I won’t forget just because someone didn’t pay attention one morning. Some of my family members drive fast, and two of my cousins speed through the roads. One has the seat laid back as she drives taking sharp turns and passing people who drive slowly in front of her. She’s a good driver it’s how her stance is while driving, it looks like she knows what she is doing but that doesn’t mean you’re excluded from getting into a car crash. My other cousin drives fast as well by passing people and always honking her horn. Her music is turned up as she’s sometimes on her phone talking to people. I don’t understand how she can listen to music and drive at the same time but I watch my surroundings for both me and her just in case she doesn’t see something that could put me and her in danger.
