Driver Education

Driver Education has been created as a program that is used to teach humans the laws of traffic to obtain learners and drivers license. These classes that people join to gather information about road safety will allow them to expand their knowledge about the wrong and right doings of the road. Each person who wants to legally drive must take the driver’s education course. Taking these courses will allow a decrease in the number of deaths here in the United States. Within these classes, the teachers go into details about how the laws works and how you must follow them.

Several steps can be taken to limit the death rate due to driving. One of the steps is that people should limit the number of friends/family that ride with them. As humans drive, they must pay close attention to their surroundings. Sometimes the people that are in the car can be a distraction to the driver. For example, teenagers with friends often experience car accidents because they are preoccupied by talking or interacting with their friends while driving, which means they are putting their life and others’ life at risk. Another step is to stop driving while under the influence. As a person gets behind the wheel while being intoxicated, they are putting their life and others’ life in danger. Many accidents have occurred due to people driving while being drunk or using drugs. The third step is to always drive for others; follow each law of the road. Some drivers see driving and following rules as an option. However, it is a must that humans drive for themselves and others. For example, as people drive, there may be a car that pulls out in front of another car or there will be a car that goes when it’s not their turn. Things such as that will cause accidents because the vehicle would be in the wrong for going against the laws.

Some accidents occur that have involved family members or people we may know. As you ride with family members on a daily, you have some that text and drive or either they don’t. When I get in the car with certain family members, they text and drive, which is very much irresponsible driving. However, some will comment and they will put the phone away because you must pay attention to the road. The big issue in the world would be texting while driving because most of everyone does it. As I drive and pay attention to the road, I must always remember that I am driving for the people in other cars, the people that are in the car with me, and myself. To make myself a better driver, I must not allow things such as my phone and others to distract me while getting to my destination. I must correct others as they are driving so they will understand something they are doing wrong while driving. When a person completes the driving courses, they are now obligated to drive safely and responsibly.
