In
the Driver’s Seat

It is very important that all
students take drivers ed in high school. It is an invaluable
resource for anybody who wants to be a smarter, safer, and more
responsible driver. It teaches you the importance of traffic safety
and road awareness. It is important that someone fully comprehends
the dangers you can be and put others in with automobiles.

There are many ways to reduce
deaths related to driving. Keeping your car in good condition is a
good way to reduce deaths. Always make sure your brakes are working
properly, your tires are well inflated, and that your windows are
cleaned. Follow any signs or signals to stay safe, always be aware of
your surroundings to prevent accidents. Never drive under the
influence, always stay sober when driving. You can cause a lot of
danger when driving under the influence, you put yourself and
everybody else around in great danger.

I have never been in a car
accident. I have seen some of my friends and family members driving
irresponsibly. They have exceeded the speed limit and have over
passed cars where they are not supposed too. One of my friends used
to drive irresponsibly, until one day he was caught speeding and
driving without a license, so they took his car away. Ever since that
happened, he has not driven over the speed limit.

There are many ways to be a
better and safer driver. One way to stay safe is keeping both hands
on the steering wheel when driving. You will less likely to lose
control of your car when driving in harsh conditions. Always keep
your mirrors adjusted so you can see your blind spots. It is
important that you do so, because if you don’t you won’t be aware
of your surroundings or if any cars are approaching.
