In
the Driver’s Seat

Driving
is something that needs to be taken responsibly. Someone can easily
act childish or immature in the car and hurt themselves or someone
else. The importance in drivers education is to teach a young driver
on how to take driving seriously. Drivers ed can help reduce
the number of deaths caused by teenagers in cars.

Multiple
steps can be taken to reduce the number of deaths related to driving.
One step can be to keep your car in top condition to help with the
risk of an accident. Another step would be to not drink and drive or
to drive under any other influences. Drive smart and be cautious of
other drivers. You should always be aware of your surroundings and
try to eliminate any distractions around you as this can help keep
you safer in the driver’s seat.

Within
my years of life, I have been in three automotive accidents. My first
one was with my older sister she was driving irresponsibly with
people in the back of the vehicle. She was trying to show off to
someone in the back of the vehicle. She rolled the vehicle and it was
on top of a hill. If she had taken drivers ed, she would have
known to eliminate all distractions. My second crash was with my
brother and younger sister. There was a fire by our house so all the
planes would be flying by. Well my sister yelled “look it’s a
plane look.” My brother looked back to see the plane and the next
thing I remember was we were upside down I had a fat lip along with a
bloody nose. Whenever I am with my parents or older sister in a
vehicle they are always texting and driving. They also never have
their seat belt on while driving.

Some
steps I can take to become a safer driver or to help others become a
safe driver would be to tell them about the responsibilities they
need to take as a driver. Or to tell them the risk they are taking
getting behind the wheel. In conclusion going behind the Is a huge
responsibility that needs to be taken seriously you could help save a
life.
