Driver Education Initiative – The Importance of Safe Driving

The
Importance of Safe Driving

Being
safe on the road is not an easy task to achieve at first. Whether you
are a new driver, and older driver, or just someone who dislikes
driving in general, understanding the ropes of the road can be an
immense difficulty. For that reason, all drivers, when first learning
to drive, should have to learn from a specific driver’s school.
These professionals will be better capable to teach new drivers the
ins and outs of how to operate a car and ultimately be safe. If
people were better educated in road obstacles (when to look out for
deer, other stray drivers, and construction, etc.) and the danger of
using a phone while operating a vehicle, many lives would have not
been lost. If more PSA’s were present on US television pertaining
to the dangers of the events listed above, then it is possible more
Americans would be shocked into understanding that driving is nothing
to fool around about. It is my personal understanding that in Europe
and some major US cities, fast-acting photography technology is
starting to take off. These laser guns or “Blitzgeraete” (in
Germany) can take split-second snapshots of the license plates on
cars. Rather than promote speeding by cops chasing after the
criminal, these devices can use the picture of the license plate to
issue a fine to said person. I have been driving for about three
years now and have never been a victim of or the cause of a car
accident, on my own. I remember a few times when I was younger being
in a couple small fender benders with other people, but it was never
anything severe enough to cause injury. I have seen people close to
me being irresponsible drivers, so most of the time I try to drive to
avoid danger. Even the small things like wearing a seatbelt can prove
to be incredibly important when it comes down to it. To be a safer
driver, I feel everyone, along with myself, can always choose to slow
down a little and double check (or triple check) all mirrors before
completing a turn or general movement. As I mentioned before, wearing
a seatbelt is always vital and should always be remembered, after
all, in most states it is a law to wear a seatbelt.
