2021 drivers education
It is very important to have driver education in order to reduce the number of deaths due to reckless driving. Driver’s Education provides new and old driver’s with the knowledge they need to safely operate a vehicle. Young drivers who have not completed driver’s education are 75 percent more likely to get a traffic ticket, 24 percent are more likely to be involved in a fatal or injury accident and 16 percent more likely to have an accident. Which was shown in a study called driver’s ed significantly reduces teen crashes. The research evidence suggests that most current driver training contributes little to reductions in accident involvement or crash risk among drivers of all age and experience. Driver’s Education focuses on learning signs, safety rules, and state laws. When people learn this and apply the rules, everyone can be safe on the road. There are a number of steps people can take to reduce the deaths related to driving. The number one thing people can do is wear their seatbelt. Next, people need to use the information that they were taught in order to save their and other people’s lives. They should follow the rules and regulations they learned from their Driverś Education class. They need to pay more attention to the road than their own phones and other passengers in the vehicle. People need to obey the traffic laws, be predictable, avoid distractions, drive rested, and steer clear of alcohol and drugs. If people with their liseanese follow these steps they would help you make the roads safer for themselves and the people around them. When people do not follow the rules of the road, they should be made to retake a Driverś Education course. Anyone who wants to help with reducing dangerous accidents can reduce road fatalities using the safe system approach. Which are building compact and connected cities, designing smarter streets, providing a variety of safe mobility options,managing speeds to safe levels, enforcing existing laws and regulations, improving road user education and public advocacy, require universal safe vehicle standards, and speed up emergency response and care. Each step of the safe system approach may seem simple, but surprisingly few places check each of these boxes. According to a World Health Organization report, without urgent action, road traffic fatalities will continue to rise resulting in 2.4 million fatalities each year by 2030. With fewer able-bodied workers, countries that do not invest in road safety could miss out on anywhere between 7 and 22 percent in potential GDP per capita growth over a 24-year period, according to a study by the World Bank. Being in a car accident is a scary thing. I personally have never experienced a car accident myself but I have nearly been in several. They have made me fear for my life and when I am about to drive I get very nervous and scared to drive on the interstate so I choose not to. I have no problem driving so when I do I am a very alert person and I stay in the speed limit. I get very focused and I always put my phone on so I do not disturb it so I won’t get distracted. It makes your heart palpitate and sometimes your life flashes before your eyes. Many people in my family are very irresponsible drivers. Especially my uncle, he speeds, tailgates, and has road rage. He has been in several accidents in his lifetime. I have told him this is dangerous and refuse to ride with him. We have had this conversation more than once and I have told them that I fear for his life and mine when I am in the car with him. I have tried many times for him to understand that he puts so many people in danger when he drives but he chooses not to listen and tells me I am just exaggerating. I want to be a better example to my peers in order to keep them safe. I can take many steps to be a safe driver and help others become safer on the road. I can use what I have learned from my driving lessons. I can obey traffic laws and signs, I can inform other individuals of better ways to stay safe on the road so they won’t harm themselves, pedestrians, and other drivers. I will always think about myself and people around me safely and be well aware of my surroundings. I won’t depend on other drivers around me and stay clear of people with road rage. Balance my driver’s speed to stay in the speed limit and if something around me happens make sure I have a way to get around or away from an unsafe situation. I think setting a good example is the best thing I can do. Also communicating how I feel about a person’s driving and how they can improve their driving skills to keep them safe and out of harm’s way.
