Steps
to Safe Driving
One
of the most underestimated aspects of growing up in drivers ed.
If you think about it, drivers ed could possibly determine
whether or not you live in some situations. Drivers ed is the most
important thing when it comes to deaths of drivers because driver’s
ed is where people need to pay attention and understand that what
they are learning is how they will be driving for the rest of their
lives. Without this guidance and teaching, the roads would be
complete chaos and the number of deaths would increase exponentially.
One step that can be taken in order to reduce the number of these
deaths would be to keep enhancing the voice-activated commands on
phones so people do not need to look at their phones and can simply
use their voice. Another step would be to develop a way to give cars
the ability to absorb more contact so it could help the impact of the
driver when in an accident. I have experienced multiple times where
I pull up to a red light and the driver next to me is on their phone
and stays on it even when the light turns green so they are looking
at their phone while driving which is unsettling when I am next to
them because I do not know if they will swerve or lose control. A
step I can take to be a better driver is learning to be more patient
because I am a very impatient person so when I get irritated I try to
find a way around a person instead of waiting for them to speed up.
