Life in safety with knowledge
Driving education is the course which teaches all the necessary knowledge both for drivers and pedestrians. Poor driving knowledge can lead to chaos on the road, panic and even an accident. Good driving training leads to safe life.
The U.S. is the only one country which allows teenegers of the age 16 years old to be responsible behind the wheel. Exactly tenegers are those who die the most being behind the wheels. “Seventy-eight percent of teenage motor vehicle crash deaths in 2018 were passenger vehicle occupants. The others were pedestrians (10 percent), motorcyclists (6 percent), bicyclists (3 percent)”. Knowledge of driving a car reduces the number of deaths and saves many lives around.
To reduce the number of deaths is so important to follow the driving rules, avoid diversionary maneuvers, drive a car only when physically and psychologically ready to control everything and when the car is able to be used. It is very important to monitor the condition of the car as if it were our own health. After all, safety lies not only in our knowledge and experience of driving, but also in the condition of the car. A car is a thing that can break down or be damaged at any time. Getting into the car, we completely trust our health and life to the hands of the driver and hardware. That is very important to check the car every single time you get into that. And always make sure everything works well and is comfortable for you. Never forget to check the position of the mirrors, seat, seat belt and the level of the steering wheel with pedals. Drive at the speed indicated on the road, predict the movements of others and be predictable yourself, slow down on turns and always stop at a red traffic light. And also when getting behind the wheel, check the safety and convenience of other passengers to avoid bad consequences. All of this can lead to safer driving and fewer deaths.
Fortunately, I have never been in an accident, but I had to damage the car. Damaging it at Drive-Through of McDonald’s fast food restaurant taught me a huge lesson. At that time, I was not careful with the car and allowed myself to be on the phone. Even when I was moving so slowly, I allowed myself not to control the car, which is why I paid off the debt for a long time. I was driving irresponsibly and from that moment I started to obey all rules and traffic laws. After which I have never had an accident and have not created some kind of disorder or chaos on the road.
I would advise anyone who goes to driving school to take this seriously. Learn not for grades but for knowledge. After all, you study not for a teacher or parents, but for yourself . And that is important for you to avoid any problems or ridiculous and dangerous situations and to preserve your own and the health of others. Never drive when you are sleepy, irritated or tired. It is very important to first of all pay attention to the condition of that car and its ability to drive. Fasten your seat belt, set up all the devices you need, set up the route if necessary, let people know that you are driving if you are expecting a call in the near future from them, and also do not forget to check the safety of other passengers, if any. The mirrors must be adjusted for the driver, the windows are clean, the wheels are inflated, the oil is inside, a spare wheel with you, as well as a first aid kit for both the car and for passengers and insurance at hand along with the license to the car.
Do not forget, any small or big information regarding driving a car or its composition will make you safer, because “Once forewarned, you are armed”. The safety of yours and others’ health is in your hands and knowledge. Be careful and do not forget the safety rules and rules of driving a car, take it seriously, more than one life depends on it.
