Why is driver’s ed important

• When taking the driver’s Ed class, you should take advantage of the opportunity and learn from it and not just think you get to drive the way you want. They have the program to help kids to understand driving and the safety of it, it is not made for people to start acting like a crazy person. When takin the class it helps people get a better feel of driving and to know that has rules like everything else.

• One always make sure you are buckled up and also make sure all your mirrors are in check. Second do not speed for example if you are supposed to go 25mph do not go 35mph that is a way to crash, third always watch the roads especially if you have someone in the car with you. Lastly be aware of your surroundings make sure you do not do the wrong thing always do right. Never try to check any electrical device in your car but if you were to have someone with you in the passenger side you can ask them to check and read off it off to you.

• I have been in a crash before this happened around my 7^th grade year. My mom picked I and my sisters up from school and we went to the dentist to get our teeth cleaned. When we were done my mom was taking us home when we were a few miles away from our house and then a car came in our lane and a whole bunch of cars before us stopped but my mom didn’t want to crash so she turned the other way and we ended in a ditch. No one got hurt in a major way but there was also a family there to help us get out the car from the ditch.

• In my opinion I feel like if in every driver’s ed class there should be a special guest to come talk to them about their experience in crashes. I know we must learn from our own mistakes, but we should listen to others mistakes as well. Especially for teens, teens need to listen to what adults tell us about driving because a vehicle can kill so many people because sometimes people think its okay to text and drive or drink and drive. As a teen we get exposed to new things and we are also influenced by others. Some sixteen or seventeen-year-old can someone drink and driving and may want to try it but then will become intoxicated and if they caught their license can get suspended. I know there are adults who encourage to not do things like that while driving but we need more to influence teens to listen and stop. Teens want to fit in a crowd but some need to realize that they would end up in the wrong crowd if they did the same as them. Many lives have been put in danger because a teen wanted to try something.
