It
is very important to become educated on how to drive. If you are
educated on how to drive you won’t understand how to properly do it.
It’s kind of like how you have to go to school to earn a degree you
don’t just go out on your own and figure out how everything works.
You will have to get some sort of education and somebody that knows
how to teach the class teach you so that you in the long run can be a
safer driver and not be in any wrecks. You can inform people about
car safety and how to drive right without causing a wreck this should
help cut down the deaths of people in the United States. Most people
wreck because they are distracted from either playing on their phone
or doing something that they shouldn’t be doing while they’re
driving. If you went to a drivers ed class you would understand that
texting and driving is not legal and any sort of distracted driving
is not good.

Probably the first
step to reduce the amount of deaths in car crashes is number one do
not let your friends or relatives text and drive. When you text and
drive you are trying to focus on two things and not just on driving.
You also don’t maintain eye contact with the road ahead of you and if
you’re moving along very quickly things will come up on you quick.
You can also create clubs in your school or even work environment
that promote good driving habits. This in turn should also help cut
the deaths if you make it a very big deal that their life is worth
more than that text message or SnapChat or whatever they’re about to
send.

I have never
personally been in a car wreck but my brother was in a wreck about
two years ago that he was pretty fortunate. The girl that was with
him walked away with scratches and bruises from the seatbelt my
brother he wasn’t as lucky. He had three cut tendons in his hand and
couldn’t move three of his fingers, he was then transported to a
surgeon that was going to perform a surgery to reconnect the tendons
and get all the junk out of the cut. He then was in a splint for
three months and then was able to begin physical therapy. Every now
and then he has trouble with this hand but otherwise he has all the
moving functions of his fingers.

One way you can
become a better driver is put all distractions away the text message
can wait until you were at the spot you need to be. Also, if one of
your friends sends you a text or whatever and they are driving down
the road do not respond to them. Talk to them later on when they ask
you why you didn’t respond and then you can say because I think your
life is worth more than that text message you were going to send me.
Also just be cautious and pay attention to all roadways, if you do
this you’re less likely to get in a wreck but it could still happen.
