Protecting yourself and others is easier than you think

I consider that driver education is an issue that must be addressed with great seriousness and commitment by everyone who lives in this country, and its purpose is to educate people about driving. The rules and recommendations that all individuals who drive follow are more than an education but an obligation that we all follow and thus give respect to others, the environment and ourselves because we are responsible for our actions and although accidents often occur without really expecting them, if we take into account road safety education, We guarantee that we are doing the right thing, and we reduce the risk of something that I am sure no one wants.

Knowing how to drive leads us to be more independent as young people and to facilitate mobility from one place to another, all this with the purpose of being able to manage ourselves in this world that is getting bigger and bigger, but it is also a great responsibility since when taking the steering wheel we take our safety and that of other people into our hands. If we do not drive correctly, we put others at risk.

I believe that driver’s education is not only knowing how to drive or what things to do, but it is also vehicle maintenance. It is important for everyone who drives a car to keep their vehicles in good condition by regularly checking the brakes, batteries, rearview mirrors, lights and tires. Additionally, it is important for drivers to ensure their vehicle is insured and has adequate liability insurance, among other things that are helpful.

This is as fundamental as taking the proper classes on how to drive and, above all, always reading the driving manual, even if you are a savior or hero, because then we know how to act and not put anyone in danger. It is seeing the value of our lives and those of other people and appreciating and respecting them. I know that for others, it may sound a bit boring, but in reality, it is not. It is taking a great responsibility into our hands, and As some people would say, it is being a savior or hero because then we know how to act and not put anyone in danger. It is seeing the value of our lives and those of other people and appreciating and respecting them. I think it is another way to show love to those around us.

It is sad to hear how someone had an accident, if we put ourselves in someone else’s place, it would be a shame to hear that the victim was a family member such as a son, brother, mother or father, personally I really believe that as a country we should some type of classes for everyone and let’s talk about the consequences that these carelessnesses has had, and we can avoid all this if we take the appropriate measures to be able to drive, mainly wearing a seat belt, not answering calls or messages while driving or not doing activities that are distracting such as the radio and not drinking while driving…we risk so much by letting young people not understand the value of knowing how to do things well.

At some point in my life, more specifically 2 years ago, I accompanied my mother in the car while we were heading to school. When everything turned into the street to enter the road, my mother did not realize that a car was coming at high speed and what no one wanted to happen happened, fortunately no one suffered serious injuries, but it is very important to look around us carefully, and Everything that happened at that moment could have been avoided.

That’s why I was afraid for a long time when I accompanied someone in a car and my fear grew even more when I started driving, since we have heard bad news from other places like cars and the number of deaths increases more and more. , but above all my mother told me “don’t worry, if we let things affect us how are we going to move forward” and although it didn’t completely take away my fear, it did help me not let him win. the best for me because I believe that if we educate ourselves more and do the right things, like attending proper classes, these things will not stop us, do not let the steering wheel scare you, just learn more and more every day, and you will notice that the Streets will look safer and you will notice confidence in yourself.

In my own experience learning about cars, I remember my father telling me, “I’m going to have a heart attack.” Since I couldn’t even tell the difference between the levers, I felt embarrassed and thought, “How am I going to take the wheel?” After a while, I had the support of a person who really knew how to be patient and teach the right way. I will not forget how all my questions were answered with confidence and I thank my mother and father for instructing me on how to do things, I consider that it is always better and more advisable to attend with someone more qualified.

It is essential that drivers respect traffic rules and remain alert at all times while driving because no one is excluded from an accident occurring, but we can reduce this number of accidents by educating ourselves and others on what to do and what not to do while driving she drives. .

It is our duty to take the reins of security and take measures to solve them. My biggest advice is to take the right classes with someone professional or trained, since driving should not be taken lightly, and above all, read the signs that are there. You will be able to know where to go and at what speed. Something we can also do is generate commitment from an early age because that is where the acquisition of habits that will last a lifetime occurs, and it will be easier for later generations to take better care of them.

Do not take this as if it were being imposed on you, but as an opportunity to improve as a person by protecting yourself and others from a possible disaster that can ruin not only your life but also those of other people. Let’s think about building and improving the world and take the right precautions, and that will make us all winners.

That was all for my essay, thank you very much for taking the time to read it and I attached my acceptance letter to the university.
