Learning To Do Right By The Road.

I feel that the importance of driver education in reducing the number of deaths as a result of driving is very important. The importance of driver’s education is to prepare you for the road itself. No other drivers but the road itself. As a driver you cannot control other people you can only control you and the car that you are driving. If you do not have the education you basically make up in your mind a set of rules in which you think are right. These rules could end your life or someone else’s. Keeping up with driver’s education protects you and the safety of others. Everyone should make it a priority to know or at least keep up with the driver’s education rules. Some of these rules consist of road signs, speed limits, traffic lights, sharing the road,

There is a mass of steps that we could do to reduce the number of deaths related to driving b but one stands out to me the most and that would be to pay attention. Paying attention to your surrounds is what I have heard a lot of when it came to driving. Another way to reduce the number of deaths is to not drink and drive. Drinking causes you to be very unaware of your surroundings. Being intoxicated behind the wheel could cause you to become very tired. Another way is no texting and driving. To look at a text message requires you to take your eyes off the road as well as one of your hands off the wheel. Best advice, stay off the phone. Lastly, the number one rule, wear your seatbelt. Make sure you as well as everyone else that’s in the car with you wears their seatbelt. If not worn the impact could kill you. ways wear your seatbelt, stay off of the phone, always drive the speed limit, and always pay attention to your surroundings.

My experience of a car accident includes losing my child’s father nine days before her first birthday to a drunk driver while he was on a motorcycle. He was crossing over a double highway going in opposite directions right around the street from his house. The driver hit him head on and attempted to leave the scene. I now have a child that will never know her father because of someone else’s stupidity and absent judgement. This type of situation could have been prevented simply by not drinking and driving. I feel like he broke every rule that there is in driver education. I was on my way to college one day on a back road, it had been raining and the road that I was passing was a downhill road, the car came down it and could not stop because the road was slippery. She hit me in the driver side of the door. In that instance, it was her fault for speeding as well as the county’s fault for the roads not being done correctly. We as drivers also have to look at the roads to make sure that they are correct as well, not our jobs however this accident could have been [prevented if it was done correctly. I went to school with a young lady that was on the way to a senior school luncheon, looked down at her phone at a text message, her car started to drift off the road she over corrected it and hit a light pole. If only she had not looked at her phone at that text message. The law states “No Texting and Driving”, but how many of us really abide by that rule?

Everyone is guilty in some form or fashion in which doing something wrongfully while driving. I personally want to do better for myself and my safety while driving. Somethings that I will do differently are such as wearing a seat belt. I always make sure my daughter has hers on but I’m not so prevalent in making sure I put my own on. I will not touch my phone my problem is Pandora while driving. I switch songs while driving and that cannot be safe. I will check my mirrors before I began to move my car instead of doing it while I’m driving. From now on whatever I need from the back seat will stay there instead of reaching for things while driving which I know cannot be safe. These are steps that I can take to abide that can protect my safety, others in the car with me, as well as the drivers and pedestrians.
