Defensive
driving is the shield of your life.

Driving
safely is the most crucial thing to protect our own lives as well as
others. Therefore, everyone should be aware of studying and
practicing traffic laws so as not to cause unfortunate consequences.

Every year, roughly 1.3 million people die in car accidents
worldwide – an average of 3,287 deaths per day. Young adults aged
15-44 account for more than half of all road traffic deaths. When
looking at the statistics above, we can see that many people are
dying by the car accident. The majority of them are young people who
don’t have much experience. Moreover, many of us only study traffic
laws to get driver’s licenses, but not study actually to drive a car
correctly. Some people even pay under the table to have driver’s
licenses. All of these actions cause plenty of dangerous things
later. Don’t let everything be too late, but act as soon as possible
to protect all of us by studying traffic laws carefully. Thanks to
that, we can know how to drive cars right, handle unexpected
situations. If accidents happen, we will use the knowledge which we
learned before to solve troubles. This not only helps us to avoid
unnecessary arguments but also indicates that we are cultivated
people.

Reducing
the number of deaths related to driving is a fairly difficult
problem, but everything has solutions if we are determined to do our
best. We should think of safety first, then pay attention to
something around you. Besides, we do not depend on other drivers,
focus on the road, and follow the traffic rules. Those are
suggestions, which I recommend, but the most vital is our awareness.

I
used to see my uncle drive irresponsibly. He still hit and run in the
parking lot in the hospital even I try to advise not to do that. I
asked him if someone does the same thing to him, how will you feel?.
This is his mistake, and he should take responsibility for it by
leaving a note which has your name and phone numbers.

Being
a better and safer driver is something that all of us want to become.
We ought to plan, wake up earlier so it gives us extra time in case
maybe has accidents on your way. Also, we always watch the weather to
prepare some kinds of stuff, bring an umbrella, wear boots in case of
rain. One more thing is cutting out distractions such as phones,
conversations, maps, emotions. Let’s remember before driving, it is
our responsibility to ensure our lives and others’ safety.

Everyone
needs to drive a car to arrive at the place that we want. Safe
driving helps us feel secure and makes people not feel nervous when
they are sitting in our car. Awareness and responsibility are two
things that are considered a priority.
