Safety on the road
Driving is a big responsibility. which is important for the drivers to take classes at a driving school. Attending a driving school helps the driver learn proper skills and gain more knowledge about the signals and proper reactions when it is needed ,also it will result in lower car accidents and deaths.
It is important that the driver is focused from the moment he gets into the car. The first thing is to put the phone away, and answer the messages or calls when you are not driving. Because this prevents the driver from being aware of what is around you . always wear the seatbelt because this can save the life of the driver and those who go in the car. Check if the car has enough gas before starting the journey, as this causes some drivers to increase speed and to reach the gas station. it is better to be forewarned. Also is important to verify if the turn signals are working properly. To let the drivers know what direction you are heading to. They can calculate the distance and give you time to turn. Also it is important to look at the mirrors every 15 seconds and if you want to change the road look over your shoulder because a car can be in the bling point and you are not going to be able to see it. It can prevent an accident.
Personally I have experienced a car accident. I was in the back seat of the car when a vehicle hit the right side of the car with great force. it turned out that the driver was speeding and very drunk. That is why it is important not to drive if you are drunk. You are saving the lives of other people and also your life. Other people do not have the fault for your responsibility, be mindful.
What I am going to do to be careful on the road is to drive in the speed limit. Know how to react when I face a dangerous situation .Always be careful with pedestrians. Use the intermittent lights if it is needed. And do not be nervous because nervous makes you lose control of the car and of yourself . The life of other drivers and pedestrians depends on my appropriate habits of drive.
