Let’s Make the Roads Safer
Drivers ed is very important, because not many people have family who teach them things that are right and wrong when driving. A few things that could reduce the number of deaths related to driving are drivers ed classes being offered by high schools, and presentations showing the effects of dangerous driving. I know that last year the seniors at my high school were shown a presentation on what texting and driving did to one family.
Personally, I have been in a wreck and it was one of the scariest things that has ever happened to me. Although I was not at fault I can tell you that feeling your car jerk ang hearing that bang is extremely scary. I went into shock when it happened.
To be a better driver I could not listen to my radio so loud because I know sometimes it can be very distracting.
