Driving Responsibly

Driving is very common and often overlooked but it is a privilege and also a huge responsibility because it has the potential to be a very dangerous thing. Driving responsibly and driving safely is very important because it decreases the risk of causing or being in a fatal collision. You can help make the roads safer by completing a drivers education course, enforcing safe driving to friends and family, and practicing safe driving on your own.

Driver education is very important to ensuring the safety of drivers because there are certain laws and rules that someone who might not have taken drivers ed would not know. For example, someone who might not have completed drivers education might not know that in a left turn a solid green light means yield. Knowing all the different rules of driving could help prevent any accidents that might result in fatalities. We can reduce the number of car collision fatalities by showing people how driving irresponsibly can affect the lives of others. Another thing we can do is enforce safe driving to more drivers and less experienced drivers. I know first hand how important it is to be alert while driving.

I have only had one experience of when I was in a minor car accident. It was a very scary experience even though it was not a major collision. I was rear ended while my car was in park and the other driver was only going 15 miles per hour. I think I can be a better and safer driver by always being alert and not using my phone while driving. It is very important to not use your phone while driving because it is very easy to become distracted by it and a collision can happen in a second. I think I can help others become safer on the road by telling them to not use their phone while driving. I can also enforce it to them by telling how many people have died as a result of being on their phone while driving or the other driver being on their phone.

As you can see, driving is a big responsibility and it has the potential to be very dangerous if you are not a careful driver. You can hurt yourself and others by not driving responsibly and it can cause a fatal accident. It is very important to practice safe driving on your own and to enforce safe driving to others.
