Benefits of Driving Education

Driver education is important because it can help reduce the number of deaths. It will also make people who are nervous while driving feel more at ease and safer. Many people do not understand how important driver education is. Many people just assume driving is just fun and games but that is why driver education is so important. Driving education will give drivers a reason to actually be cautious while driving. Driving education will give good knowledge to those who are new to driving and how to be safe while driving. It will give them comfort in knowing how they were educated and can feel safe being on the road. People will be able to trust themselves on the road. Driving education will also help new drivers with traffic laws . Driving education will also help promote responsible drinking habits that will help drivers navigate the road safely. At least 32% of accidents occur from drunk drivers which is what makes education for driving important. 21-24 year olds are the ones who should be educated on drunk driving for their safety. More than 13,000 people have passed away by alcohol related car wrecks in 2024. Drunk Driving is known to kill at least 11,000 people each year reported by Ashlyn Brooks. Driving education can help reduce the risk of car accidents. People who are uneducated about drunk driving are more likely to get into a deadly car accident than those who are uneducated. If we as people want others to feel safer on driving and want to help others be educated. We can provide driving education for high school students. It can help students who need to be educated. Something we could also do is improve road designs. Terrible road designs have been known to be another reason why there are many serious car accidents. Improving road designs can help reduce the risk of car accidents. Another useful way to prevent more deaths with car accidents is to add more bike lanes, crosswalks etc. In some places those are not around which is highly another reason why there are many fatal accidents. Crosswalks and bike lanes have been very known to help with reducing deaths but the real question is why are there not so many as we think there are? Many people have gotten seriously hurt from crossing the roads. We should encourage the public to add more crosswalks. We should also encourage more seatbelt use. In fact seatbelts are known to be very useful when it comes to preventing deaths from accidents. People who do not wear their seatbelts are more than likely to pass away from a car wreck. In fact, according to DJC Law seat belts have saved 15,000 lives per year. This is why wearing seat belts must be enforced. Many states do not enforce seat belt laws even though they should . State Law should be people who are wearing their seat belts while driving should be receiving a ticket . It may sound too much but it’s one of the biggest steps we could take to prevent more deaths from accidents. Seat belts are meant to protect people on the road and enforcing seat belt laws can improve the chances of people surviving a car accident. Many people think that wearing seat belts won’t help protect them but that is not true. As much as injuries from wearing a seatbelt may occur, however wearing a seat belt may benefit people from dying in an accident. According to Youth for Road Safety, at least 15,000 lives are saved just buckling up. We should practice young teens on the road before letting them drive for safety reasons. We can also not let drunk people drive, especially at night. Letting drunk people drive would only increase the risk of death while on the road. We should help drunk people safely home and keep them away from so much alcohol that can help lead to less drunk driving incidents. We should put stricter laws on drunk driving so that it will motivate people into being more safe and more cautious on the road. I have personally never been involved in a car accident. However, I have lost a family relative to a drunk driving accident when I was nine. Ever since I lost my aunt to that incident, I have been more cautious about how much of a responsible driver I want to be so that way I do not end up in the same situation. I could practice on not being a nervous driver since being a nervous driver can lead to car accidents. I can continue to educate myself on safe driving and educate others.
