Driver Education Initiative Annual Scholarship

Cars are an important part of our lives and they are essential for transportation. However, sometimes people lose sight of the importance of driving safe and they sometimes have an accident. It is important to be an educated driver because being an educated driver allows you to understand the fundamental concepts of driving. Being an educated driver allows someone to focus on the road, along with driving effectively. This will help the driver avoid accidents and it may even save someone’s life. In conclusion, it is important to be a safe and educated driver because the driver will be able to focus on the road and understand that a car is a very dangerous machine.

Becoming a safe and educated driver is not an easy task; one must educate themselves on the different mechanics used to drive. The first step would be to make sure that your car is in top physical condition. If something is physically wrong with the car, then that could be a problem. The second step would be to educate yourself on the features of the car and make sure that you use them correctly. The third step would be to make sure that you are safe inside of your car, mainly by following all traffic rules and wearing a seatbelt. The final step would be to make sure that you remove all distractions and that your main focus is on the road. When you are focused on the road, you reduce your chances of being in an accident.

As a passenger, I have never been in a car accident, but there have been some pretty immense car crashes on the streets. Sometimes, my family members do drive responsibly but there are sometimes where that is not the case. For example, sometimes my family members will text while they are driving. Sometimes they will drive a little bit over the speed limit and sometimes they will curse at other drivers for not going so fast. But other than that, my family is responsible and they always try to keep everyone else safe on the road. My family always stressed the importance of safety and it is an excellent way to learn to avoid distractions.

Spreading the word about being a safe and educated driver is a helpful way to teach people the importance of safety. The steps that need to be taken in order to become a better driver is to familiarize yourself with the mechanics. The next step would be to learn all of the traffic laws and implement those laws into your driving. The third step would be to practice driving to improve your skills. The final and most important step is to make sure that you are constantly focused on the road. To help others become better drivers, we need to help and educate them. When we help each other, the world becomes a better and safer place to live and drive. Being a good driving role model will help show other people the importance of being a safe and educated driver.
