Driver’s Education?

I feel it is very important to understand the safety of driving before you try to get behind the wheel. The importance of having a driver’s education is so that you get the knowledge you need to know about how to be safe on the road. Drivers who have not to complete a driver’s education have shown that they are 75% more likely to get a ticket or even get in an accident. Some steps that I believe can be taken to reduce the number of deaths that come from driving is one to not drive unless you have taken a class. Another step would be to make sure you get to practice on and off the roads/highways. Last but not least drink or smoke while driving, if you know you have a designated driver. In conclusion, I believe it’s very important to have a driver’s education before you try to get behind the wheels. I have had many family members die from car accidents because either they weren’t driving safely or the person who hit them wasn’t driving safely. A reminder I want to give is to also try to be safer than sorry.
