If
everyone that has a licence were educated drivers, there would not be
as many accidents as there are currently. There would be fewer drunk
drivers, more patient people, and people would know how important it
is to wear seatbelts. I took a drivers ed class, and I
learned all the rules of the road, how to handle people with road
rage, and what to do in dangerous driving situations. I think that
encouraging people to take driving classes could definitely reduce
the number of deaths due to poor driving. I have seen some of my
extended family members driving irresponsibly and get into car
accidents. Some of them cut corners on dangerous parts of the road,
drive much faster than the speed limit, and drive while they are
distracted. One way I have helped them to be a better driver is by
telling them that the way they are driving makes me feel unsafe and
uncomfortable. I also avoid riding in their car if I can help it.
Being a good example of a safe driver is another great way to help
other people or teach children to drive safely.
