Driving
is the most dangerous activity that we do every day. There are many
reasons for this fact, such as poor drivers ed and low
experience for new drivers. This can all be avoided if drivers are
educated about the road and how their driving skills can mean life or
death in certain situations. Driving dangers can be avoided by having
proper drivers education courses for all drivers to take, letting
drivers get experience by driving in a safe environment, and by the
drivers following the rules of the road.

First,
drivers need to have a proper drivers ed course that allows
drivers to learn what signs mean what, what to do in dangerous
situations, and how to avoid accidents. Without a drivers education
course, many drivers can be left in the dark about how to handle
their vehicle in dangerous conditions. In the snow or rain, you must
know how your vehicle reacts to the elements to remain safe and a
drivers education course can help with that. In short, a driver’s
education course is very important to keep the roads safe.

Second,
beginning drivers need to have a safe place to get experience in
driving. Young drivers who are just thrown on the road without any
previous experience can be very dangerous for all others on the road.
Drivers need to have some experience on the road so they can learn
what it is like to drive in different conditions. Whether they are
diving in the driveway or in an empty parking lot, they are learning
how to control their car and how to ride the road. In short, having a
safe place to begin your driving experience is very important for
everyone on the road.

Third,
drivers must follow the rules of the road for driving to be a safer
experience. Many drivers do know how to drive and are pretty good at
it. It just comes down to if they want to follow the rules or not.
Many experienced drivers feel that they do not need to follow the
rules

because
they have been following them for many years. They may want to have
some extra fun and decide to break the rules. This is very dangerous
for themselves, as well as the others on the road. If drivers today
would just stop breaking the rules, then the roads would be a safer
place. In short, following the rules is a very important part of
driving safety.

In
conclusion, driving safety is a very important thing for everyone to
learn about and practice. Without drivers education courses, driving
experience, and the drivers following the rules of the road the roads
are a dangerous place to be. We must have these practices in place to
make the roads safer for everyone. Be safe, drive with education, and
follow the rules to become a safer driver.
