Safe Driving
In
today’s world our main source of transportation is automobiles.
Between 1990-2017 there were roughly 272 million vehicles registered
in the United States alone. In 2018 there was approximately 17
million cars sold to consumers within the United States. For a
comparison
in the numbers 2018
statics were up 15 million from 2013. Readers may ask what my point
is for this essay well let me explain. The demand for transportation
is at an all time high which also brings accidents, injuries and even
fatalities.
There
are many incidents caused by people who are not following basic safe
driving rules. Here are a few examples
-
Do not text
and drive (Hands free law) -
Do not follow
to closely -
Drive the
speed limit (some believe it’s safer to drive below the speed
limit but this may also be a danger to other drivers) -
Always use
turn signals -
Avoid
changing lanes (swerving in and out of traffic)
Safety is a huge
concern when it comes to safe driving. One may follow all the rules
of the road but they cannot forsee unfortunate events. Often times
safe driving doesn’t fall on the driver but on the road. Drivers
have to stay aware of road hazards such as potholes, uneven pavement,
construction, and debri.
There are many
types of drivers on the road today. You have drivers who abide by the
laws and dangerous drivers. Many of these drivers make it dangerous
on the road for others. Safe driving is important because it can
ensure a life is not taken by another careless actions or mistakes.
Some may ask how can I become a safe driver. Here are some steps
always keep your eyes on the road, hands free of mobile devices, and
always do the speed limit.
