STOP DISTRACTIONS; Safety First

Drivers Education will reduce the number of deaths in driving. The videos they show can really impact people and show them the consequences of irresponsible actions. There have been many accidents and situations that have happened, educating yourself about these issues will help you to avoid them and become a better driver. Teachings come from past experiences in order to prevent the same mistake from happening to others. To reduce the number of deaths, one thing we can do is utilize text stops on the thruways. Instead of pulling out your phone while driving, you can pull into the stops and send a message or make a phone call. Another method which is really cool is self-driving cars. This can dramatically decrease the number of deaths and assure safe driving. I noticed that the number of deaths is in the 40,000 mark in a year. I have never been in a car accident but my older brother once flipped his whole car trying to swerve from a pole. This was caused by distraction. Because he was not paying attention this caused the car to flip while only going at about 40 mph. It is common among teens for something like this to happen. Some steps people can take to become a safer driver is to make sure you are well-rested and able to drive and silence your phone. Teaching your teens about safety and responsible driving can also help reduce issues. Setting the right example is another step. Kids tend to mimic their parents. Some adults do drive recklessly and as a result, their kids drive the same way because mom or dad normally drives this way.
