The Key is Drivers Ed

Drivers ed classes form the basis of safe driving. These schools have several years of experience researching, evolving with the rules and regulations, and teaching students all the necessary lessons needed to successfully pass their driving test to get their license. The lessons and online services will have a clear and thorough outline and lessons plan for the curriculum to ensure all the information they need is covered and understood, where a parent may forget or think some information isn’t as important as others – for instance, they may teach you the mechanical workings of your vehicle and the rules of the road, but leave out the safety reasons behind the rules and what can happen.

Taking drivers ed allows you to practice driving on the road with a clear understanding of the rules and safety measures ahead of time, rather than learning them on the go. You can anticipate the steps needed to arrive safely at your destination, as well as keeping in mind the guidelines for doing so, and in turn will feel more confident. Confidence in your driving abilities allows you to comfortably and naturally respond more effectively in difficult driving situations, and as a result become a safer driver.

Because you learn and come to understand the rules and regulations of the road, you understand the responsibility you have as a driver to ensure you follow those guidelines. You know exactly what certain consequences can come with your actions, are aware of the potential damage that comes with an accident, and are both more alert and more cautious while driving. This not only helps to keep you safe, but keeps other drivers around you safe, and everyone will thank you for it.

With drivers ed, you learn everything to gain a clear understanding of the material, with a knowledge that this information will definitely be applied in the real world. You are also taught how to apply them as you physically learn to drive. Because of this, you are more likely to remember the rules of the road, the signs and their different meanings, and how to follow all the road signs available, and be more comfortable and confident behind the wheel.

Although I personally have not been in any car crashes, I believe that Drivers Ed is the key to safe driving. It has proven to lower accidents and to get better results, we should expand on what is working and increase funding into Drivers Ed programs to make them larger.
