The everlasting damage a death can apply on any person is a personal hell no one deserves to be put through, this is why drivers' education should be studied by all before and even during ones driving life. Drivers' education is a way of teaching the techniques of driving a vehicle, along with basic vehicle Maintenace and other ways of life needed to take care of and handle a car. This is needed to protect the lives of all and should be studied for these exact reasons.
There are many ways to reduce the death toll of driving accidents such as, making it mandatory throughout the country to pass a more difficult drivers test every two to three years that can restrict the number of incapable drivers on the roads. Another way is by teaching drivers education every year of high school and making it more interactive and easier to pick up to create interest and drive to the need of this class. Improving the class itself to make it bare able and less of a task can improve the priority of learning about the safety of being on the road for the rest of one's life. Many people make it more difficult than it already is by bringing up too many variables such as smarts and genuine knowledge when none of these matters. I have a friend who suffers from autism, one of the most cautious and best drivers I know. Throughout my experience in life any car accident has been at fault of negligence, whether that be from driving under the use of alcohol or being irresponsible behind the wheel, fixing this through teaching and showing the consequences of ones’ actions in an interactive environment can and will prevent this from happening.
In the summer of twenty twenty four I had four of my friends get into a car accident on the highway, they were speeding at night and hydro planed and rolled many times throwing two of the four out of the vehicle from the sunroof and back window. Three of the four were hospitalized, one of them stuck in the hospital for over two and a half months. The crash was near death and a scary wake up call to the rest of us as young drivers. There should not have to be a deadly crash to cause drivers of the area to become safer, it should have been prevented before it happened. People look at driving cars as playful and a way of showing their skills when it is a dangerous tool commonly neglected. My generation is normalized and popularized driving unsafe and dangerously, teaching many from a younger age to become dangers to themselves and others on the road. The effect driving irresponsibly can have on not only one's life but the people they surround themselves with is not described enough to drivers. If someone driving crashes into another car with a family killing one of them, that puts them in jail for manslaughter leaving a reputation not only on yourself but the people who love and put themselves with you, such as a partner of parent. I have had few experiences with car accidents in my life but enough to understand the consequences I can have behind the wheel.
To be a safer driver can be done with many easy or hard steps, some steps can be as simple as paying more attention or even, in a hard aspect buying a more expensive car with more features. Older generations of cars are heavy, fast, and lack any innovative technology to keep the driver safer. While newer cars are heavier, faster, while balancing higher quality metals and advanced technologies. Some of these technologies include back up cameras, a simple but effective camera that makes one of the many blind spots on a car visible. Yes, these are not available to everyone due to prices and other factors but there are other, easier ways to be a safer driver. By simply just paying more attention to yourself but most importantly what other people are doing, many drivers in the United States of America are capable, well taught drivers. But most make the common mistake of trusting the other drivers around them. Just paying attention to the cars that surround you can give you the time to react if something does happen.
In my experience of driving, I have never caused or been involved in an accident, but I have seen many. Some minor, some major but all come from the same cause; negligence. Being dangerous by the wheel can have an everlasting effect on families for potentially generations. Pay attention to the road and do not forget the importance of everyone's lives around you.
