You Hold Someone’s Life in Your Hands
It’s
not a game!
That’s
how I believe the responsibility of being behind the wheel is.
Driving in real life isn’t a game in which you can crash and start
over whenever you please or you hurt someone and you can restart the
game. Driving is a huge responsibility to whoever is driving behind
the wheel. As my dad put it to me “Everytime you drive , your hands
can hold someone’s life due to driving carelessly and
injudiciously”. My dad is a Commercial Driver and has a Class A
license and a Class C. If you don’t have an idea what Class A is
it’s driving a vehicle that weighs 10,000 pounds or more like huge
freight trailers. It takes great responsibility to drive with a Class
A License and he needs to be vigilant 200 % more than a Class C
driver would. My dad has seen crashes varying from motorcycle
accidents to car accidents and he even saw a Man fly 20 feet in the
air like a rag doll from his motorcycle due to the 2 other drivers
involved in the accident being on their phones. The importance of
drivers ed is not just replenishing your knowledge or learning
something new about driving but acknowledging there are lives at
stake if you drive carelessly.
My
dad taught me to drive and showed me that when you have a License in
a way your taken into account with society.When you earn a License
due to your hard work and study on how to be a safe driver and a
vigilant one , the society takes you into account in the following
way that they see your responsible and those who have earned a
Licence must have the responsibility of earning one. Texting and
Driving is the worst combination anybody who is behind the wheel can
do. It’s irresponsible and careless that someone doesn’t take
others lives into account to their impudence of not driving
responsibly.Our future vehicles are becoming more technological and
with technological improvements there are new gadgets like Read my
Text or Bluetooth Calling. By these gadgets we can limitize the
accidents drastically due to the reason you can use an option as
“Sorry can’t talk right now” to “Sorry I’m driving I’ll
text you later”. These gadgets will be life changing.
Thanks
to God I have never been in a Car Crash or seen my parent’s or
friends drive recklessly. Also I’m vigilant to never be in one
because I learned how to be a defensive driver rather than a
negligent driver. The only step/rule I abide by is reminding myself
to drive safely & if I drive recklessly any given day I may lose
my life or lose an innocent life due to my imprudence. And driving
safely is a rule not to be taken lightly but something I need to
abide everytime I’m behind the wheel for the well being of my
passengers and me to Pedestrians and other drivers as well.
