Driver Education

Drivers ed

Drivers ed is very important because only by teaching people how to drive are they able reduce accidents on the road. We can prevent this by making sure that every one on the road is well educated in the art of driving. The most prominent reason of death is drunk driving with 40% of accidents. This could be prevented with more awareness on the extreme risks of drunk driving. The second most amount of deaths in car accidents was irresponsible driving with 33% of accidents. This could be fixed by making sure everyone is properly educated when they get on the road. In order to do this, we need to make drivers ed harder to ignore and have driving retest every several years to make sure people are still good drivers. There is also a large 58% of car accidents that happen with only one vehicle. This means by educating individual drivers we can stop the majority of accidents on the road. We need to eliminate other forms of distracted driving as well like texting. 1.6 million car crashes are caused texting and driving. That is 25% of accidents that are completely preventable just by putting down the phone. It is such a simple thing to do but 1.6 million accidents still happen because of phones. There was a time when my parents where driving when they were clearly aggravated at which point they were rapidly accelerating and decelerating. They were not paying the attention to the road that they should have this caused them to almost be hit by a car speeding out in front of traffic. This could have been fixed by waiting to drive till after they had cooled down so there would be less mistakes while driving. Everyone can make the roads safer just by making sure that that you are properly educated before you start driving. Also, you need to make sure that you are not under any type of influence or distracted by any means. By doing these things the road becomes a safer place because there will be less people who are being hazards on the road and it can start with one person to stop 58% of car accidents.
