Take Control of Your Actions and Be Responsible
A habit is something that is so ingrained in our everyday lives that when we do it, we do not even notice it because we are so used to it. We all have our own set of habits for everything we do in life from the time we wake up, drive to work or school, our eating schedules and diets and when we go to sleep and the majority of the time we do not even notice. The human brain is amazing in adapting to anything that we present it with and we have the power to make our lives a better and safer place to live in and it all starts with our habits. I am focusing on the importance of drivers ed in reducing the number of deaths and what steps can be taken in order to reduce the number of deaths related to driving. It all starts with admitting that there are things that we can change to make our lives better and adapting to them and after a while we get used to it and we have made such an advancement in our personal growth.
To begin with, there are too many deaths related to unsafe and irresponsible driving and unfortunately there are many young individuals risking their lives and not only that but they are also compromising other peoples’ lives as well. That is why if teenagers want to learn how to drive and not only that but the right and responsible way, we are lucky enough that there are driving education classes at our DMV offices. There they will learn the rules of driving and what it takes to be a responsible driver because driving a car is not simply turning the engine on and driving off. There are speed limits and signs that need to be respected in order to keep everyone safe.
Moving on, there are several steps we can take in order to reduce the number of deaths related to driving. We need to make sure our phones are not in our deposition and that they are on silent mode in order to not have any distractions while driving. We need to make sure that our radios are off or if on to have them on low volume that way we don’t get distracted and pay attention to our surroundings while on the road. While driving make sure you are not trying to multitask because then you won’t be fully paying attention to what your main priority is and that is driving safely. I am fortunate enough to say that I have never been on a car accident and luckily my friends and family members are responsible drivers and that is what has kept us safe. I have started to manifest all the steps previously mentioned and I am sharing them with my most loved ones that way we are all driving safely and getting safe and sound to our everyday destinations.
