Drivers ed is very important because it educates a new driver
on the dangers of driving and ways to prevent getting into an
accident. Statistically drivers who go through some sort of driver’s
education are less likely to get into a wreck or get a ticket. Drives
ed supplies questions that will help a teen learn laws of the road
that they may not have known prior to taking the drivers ed course.
By going through a drivers ed program, you get the
opportunity to go on drives with a trained driving instructor. This
can help boost a teens confidence because it is a lot easier to drive
with someone who has experience with teens and knows how to give
appropriate advice during the drive than it is to drive with a parent
who might be driving with a new driver for the first time. During
drivers ed you learn about the laws of the road and the
penalties for breaking them, this can give a new driver a sense of
responsibility because they know if they break the rules then they
will have to face the consequences. Some states have even made
drivers ed a requirement because driving without any knowledge
is very dangerous. Some steps that someone can take to be a
responsible driver is making sure you obey every traffic sign. If
you can’t see both sides of the road when you get to a stop sign
make sure you come to a complete stop at the stop sign and then move
up where you can see. Never try and speed past a yellow light. If you
have to speed up to pass a yellow light, you’re probably not going to
make it. Sitting at a light for two minutes is not worth the risk of
getting into a possibly fatal car wreck. You should also make sure
you stay as close to the speed limit as you possibly can to ensure
your safety and the safety of those around you. Just make sure you
follow every law that you learned in drivers ed and you should
be fine.
