Driver Education

Driver education is important because it teaches new drivers how to be safe on the roads. They can reduce the number of deaths because it can teach new drivers how to prevent wrecks and how to be a safe driver on the road. One major step to prevent deaths related to driving is to not drink and drive. Many accidents occur because people are reckless and drive under the influence. Another step to prevent deaths related to driving is to not text and drive because texting distracts the driver and can cause the driver to cause accidents.

I personally have never been in a car accident, but I have seen my parents and friends text while driving. I can be a safer driver and help others by not texting while driving, wearing my seatbelt, and educating others the safety of not texting while driving.
