Through having driver’s ed, a person could have more confidence to drive. When they are more confident in their driving skills, there are less accidents to occur. Car accidents occur almost every minute of everyday. They can either be life threatening or a minor fender-bender. Either way, it is important to know either the actions to take to avoid getting into accidents or the what to do if you get into one. From having drivers education, a person will be a safer driver, less reckless, and understand what to do if an accident occurs.

I have gotten into a car accident with my mom. It was not her fault, the person who hit her came over three lanes as she was at a red light. After the accident, it made my mom not want to drive in case of it happening again. Because my mom held onto her steering wheel so it wouldn’t turn, she saved the lives of the people in her car. Through knowing the actions to take when an accident is occurring, my mom was able to handle the situation better. Having driver’s education also provides this to many other people and it reduces the number of deaths occurring. Some people are not very cautious drivers, so you have to make sure you watch the people around you in order to avoid collisions.

My father was a very reckless driver and there were many times where he drove very irresponsibly. Because of this, it caused my sister to be afraid of driving. However, it is because of driver’s education that my sister was able to start having the confidence to start driving. Through having a professional teach you how to drive and the ways to be a safe driver, it causes people to feel more comfortable driving. By always being aware of your surroundings, following traffic laws, and being buckled up, a person could avoid deaths in a motor vehicle accident.

It is very important to see what is occurring in your surroundings. Say for example, a person cuts you off without using their blinker. It could cause a person to get into a pretty bad accident. However, by having drivers education, you will know what to do in situations like this one. Remaining calm while driving is always the best thing to do and it can decrease accidents. If you are angry while driving, it could cause you to break traffic rules by either speeding or running red lights. Because of this, it can be a form of reckless driving, which can lead to an increase in deaths while driving.

By being a safe driver, people are able to feel more comfortable with driving with you in the car. Through first-handedly experiencing reckless driving, I understand the importance of being a safe driver. It is never a good feeling to feel unsafe while in the vehicle with someone. Thus, through following traffic laws, staying calm, and being aware, it can allow a person to be a safe driver on the road. Through driving safely, you will be able to make it to your destination without any problems.
