Drivers Education

Drivers education is there to help protect teenagers once they are on the road by themselves. There to make sure you know everything you need to know to stay safe when driving. When driving, so many unpredictable things can take place that you have to be able to handle and maneuver through to stay safe. For example, busy interstates, bad drivers around you, and even driving at night is dangerous. Drivers education gives you the tools to be able to accomplish staying safe through all these things so that you don’t get in an accident. Teenage deaths from driving have skyrocketed and the numbers are higher than most combat deaths. This could all be prevented if drivers had the education to be on the road which is what drivers education provides. By requiring all teenagers to take part in driver education, we would know that the upcoming generations are getting the knowledge they need to be safe drivers. I believe that this will lower the amount of deaths related to car accidents since drivers will be more alert and know what to do when unpredictable things take place on the road.

I have personally been a part of 2 separate car accidents that could have both been avoided if the other driver was paying attention to what was going on around them. For the first one, this accident took place because the other driver was on his phone and wasn’t paying attention to the vehicle in front of them which was me. This could have easily been avoided if that driver would have stayed off his phone and instead have been focused on what he was doing. The second accident that i was in took place simply because the other driver didn’t pay attention to the signs around him signally which lane went where. This driver ran straight through the intersection when it was required of him to turn. This could have been prevented as well if the driver would have paid attention to what was happening in that intersection.

Being a safe driver in crucial to keeping everyone else including yourself safe on the road. Some things that i can do to be a better driver is to first avoid messing with the music going on. When I do so, my eyes are taken off the road for just long enough to cause an accident. This doesn’t seem like a big deal at first but accidents can happen in just seconds and driving requires my full attention.
