Crash Ending

Driving is
often mistaken as a right, something people feel entitled to which
leads them to act recklessly upon it. Remember when you first
received your license and now your free to drive your mother’s car
all the way to….. your little brother’s school a couple blocks
away to pick him up from tutoring, ecstatic because this is the key
to your freedom, right?! On your way you stop to buy a couple snacks
and a aux cord, now your late and have to make up time you pick up
speed you swerve a corner causing your phone to fall, and the last
thing you remember is losing control of the wheel. All this could
have been avoided if you pulled over, if you had learned in your
online course that pulling over is always the safer option, that you
would rather be late picking up your brother than not being able to
pick him up at all.

The lack of
knowledge leads to ignorance, however the failure to utilize your
knowledge puts others at risk as well. Educating our drivers is a
great step in changing the pulling tide to accidents, however drivers
should be able to apply what they learned to start influencing the
ever-growing death toll. My father has reminded me about how he was
in a car accident speeding around a corner on his phone and lost
control of the car months before I was born his fear of leaving
behind a family with a wife who was planning to welcome a new baby
with him scared him to the point that he plans his trip, sets music
before leaving, and to minimize distractions he turns his phone on
driving mode.

To become a
better driver, I have to strive to be the change I want to see in my
community. I became the teacher’s assistant in my school’s
education class because while learning to drive is always a huge
privilege new drivers can be blinded with excitement allowing someone
from the same peer group as them offers a perception close to their
own making the knowledge they are receiving more acceptable and
understanding not all endings have to crash only those more
susceptible to lacking of knowledge.
