Safe Driving
Safe driving is an important conversation to have because a lot of people lose their lives in accidents. Learning to safely drive is not only important for you it’s important for everyone else, not only for people in the car but people who may be crossing the street or riding their bikes. I think our system of learning to dive is good because you can’t get your license immediately you have to wait over a period of time. First, you have to wait until you become a certain age. Then you get a provisional for a certain period of time and w=you have to drive with people supervising you. Then you have to do driving school with an actual instructor for another two weeks. Then finally you have to pass the test. All of this is important because it allows you to get driving experience and develop safe driving habits. Although all this time is under the supervision of someone else once you get on your own things can change. A lot of accidents are caused because people are on their phones. I think if we had stricter rules on using your cell phone and driving then we would have fewer accidents. Our problem isn’t that people don’t know how to drive, it’s that people are distracted while they’re driving.
