One Text=Life Gone

Did
you know that car accidents are one of the major causes of deaths?
Nearly 1.25 million people die in car crashes each year. That’s
nearly 3,287 deaths a day! I know you’re wondering how many deaths
are caused because of texting and driving? 4,637 people lives are
lost. Accidents happen, because people are not careful with what they
do and if you’re not cautious, your life can be gone in a snap of
finger! Thankfully, there are many ways we can prevent texting
drivers from losing their life.

When
you’re driving, you should keep your eyes on the road no matter
what. Drivers should be cautious of their surroundings and the
passenger’s safety in the vehicle. Drivers need to stop when
necessary and follow directions on the road so they can always remain
safe.

One
way to stop drivers from texting and driving is to turn of their
device completely until they arrive at their destination. Another way
is to install an app that knows when you are driving and will power
your phone, unless they are for destination directions. Using these
steps wisely will teach the driver that safety comes first, and a
text can wait.

Making
sure that not only you, but your vehicle passengers are safe. That is
one of the biggest steps to maintain safety driving. When you are
driving you must be focused on the road and not distracted. If you
want to have conversations or listen to music on the radio, it must
be as light as possible so that you are safe, focused and
entertained!

Finally,
every driver is not a good driver. Everyone is not going to follow
the rules of the road. It is your job to remember your safety and to
follow the rules no matter what. Don’t let someone’s
inconsistency driving stop you from your good practices. Anything can
happen, but if you take these steps to your safety, you won’t have
to stress about an accident.

Driving
can be dangerous if you’re aren’t careful. If you are focused,
alert and have a controlled atmosphere with your passengers and
surroundings, many lives can be saved.
