The Driver’s Seat

Safe
driving is the only way to decrease the number of deaths caused by
car accidents. The importance of drivers ed in reducing the
number of driving deaths is very significant. If we did not have
drivers ed, you probably wouldn’t even be able to walk on
the sidewalk without almost getting killed. Drivers ed ensures
that the driver knows everything important they need to know about
driving. Drivers ed teaches all the safety rules and tips
about driving so it also ensures that the driver knows everything
they need to know about safety while driving.

One
thing that we can do to reduce the number of deaths related to
driving is have drivers take annual driving tests that way all the
information they learned through drivers ed stays fresh in
their mind. Another step we can take is to have bigger consequences
when an accident happens that way people would be way more cautious
about accidents because these days it seems like you can’t go
around driving without seeing at least one car accident scene.

I
have never had an experience of being in a car accident but there
have been plenty of times when I’m with my friends or family and
they make a mistake while driving that could have been dangerous if
another car was there. The usual mistakes they make would be like
turning to sharply or turning without looking if another car is
there. Another mistake they make is driving through red lights in
fact my brother got a ticket for driving through a red light just
last week. The most common mistake they all make though is speeding
everyone I have ever got in a car with has sped and there should be
more tough consequences for that as well as a better way to monitor
it so that the people doing it get caught.

The
steps that I can take to be a safer driver is to first study for the
permit test then when I pass, I will practice and study hard to get
my driver’s license. When I do get my driver’s license and I
start driving I will try very hard not to make any mistakes or to get
in any car accidents. One thing that comes to mind that I can do to
help others become safer on the road is to call them out when they do
something wrong, in a polite way of course so that they make sure
they don’t do it again and will not take offense.
