Improving
driver training should be the target of all who really take an
interest in road safety. Driver educators alone will not change
driver training programmes. The national public and road safety
professionals consider driving as easy work and have been bombarded
by the publicity that driver training does not make. Nevertheless,
all must cease under appreciating the driver work and the benefits of
driver training if we start to make any useful modifications. There
must be a powerful union of advocates behind modification to driver
training. Taking behavior is a very important topic in any fleet
management term. To teach drivers to adopt a more responsible
driving style, in-vehicle drivers ed may be the most-effective
means of accomplishing that. Other approaches are likely to promote
responsible behavior, but it is crucial to analyze driving, discover
dangerous behaviors and create eco-living tips customised to each
driver and vehicle type. Responsible drive and the situation are
closely related. Beyond improving driver safety and reducing the
amount of vehicles, responsible behavior leads actively to protect
the environment and promoting the acceptance of eco driving
techniques is important to accomplishing that. Our travelling fashion
is nearly correlated to fuel consumption and dioxide emission. Every
attempt must be made to ensure people accept more responsible
behavior behind the machine, with the greener and more efficient
drive style. My experinces with teen driving was very tragic for me ,
and it will never be an unforgettable moment for me. It was the day I
missed the bus and I needed a home and I asked a friend of mine to
get home. During the ride, she was alreadying driving fast while she
was driving. She was looking at her mobile device trying to change
the music while connected to aux cord. While we were in the car I
remeber she hit a brick and then fire hydrant at the same time. It
almost flipped the car over and led us to neck strains. The car was
still steady to drop off to my location. During the ride she had a
big indention on the passenger door and it could open half way. As
soon as she dropped me off, the vehicle started to react to the
accident. At firdt the vehicle starts jerking when it is
accelerating. And then her engine oil busted, it was a whole spill on
oil down my driveway and road. All this time she had a car still on,
it is very bad while it’s still because the vehicle could have blown
up and destroyed the surrounding and killed people. I’m glad she
turned her car off in time enough other than that it would be a very
tragic moment. I’ve learned that I’ve just taken the bus and that
my life flashed before my eyes. I will alwasy cherish every moment in
my life.
