The importance of Safe Driving

Driving education is the most important part of driving. It teaches you how to be aware of your surroundings, know what traffic signs mean and most importantly how to avoid a car accident. If you learn to drive with an instructor, they may also teach you these things but it’s not possible for them to give you a full education about driving while they are teaching you to drive. If you do the driver’s education course you would definitely be more comfortable while driving. You will probably remember things from the driving education course that you need while driving such as the speed limit in a residential area or how to exit a roundabout. Knowing these things will help reduce the number of accidents. 

To reduce the number of deaths, you can contribute by never driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs. If you are not fully aware of the things happening around you, you shouldn’t be driving. Stay where you are until your body is fully functionable. Don’t ever let your friends influence your decisions. They might say let’s go here or take me there but if you don’t feel safe driving them around you can say no, it’s your car. When a friend asks you to borrow your car make sure they have their license and auto insurance. You never know what could happen to them in your car and you don’t want to be at fault. It’s important to take the safety of others seriously. 

My brother is always driving while looking at his phone. This is very irresponsible of him and I tell him all the time. The information on your phone will not be going anywhere. It will be there when you exit the car. If it’s really important then you should pull off to the side of the road. Directions to me are considered really important. If you don’t know where you’re going and you rush off the freeway that can cause an accident. So, you should stop and look carefully at directions for the sake of others and yourself. I also think that it’s very unsafe to be recording yourself while driving. Lots of people do this and post it on social media but what if you kill another person because you wanted to be recording. I know you want to do what everybody else is doing but you should ask yourself, is it really worth it? Knowing that you could possibly kill somebody. Turn your phone off while driving. Put it somewhere you’re not tempted to grab it and open it. Think of it as helping reduce the numbers of lives lost due to irresponsible driving. You’re helping the world become better by decreasing the lives taken due to reckless driving.
