Hello, my name is Glory, and I am glad to be given this opportunity.
To answer your first question, I think educating teens on reducing the number of deaths caused by driving is very important, not to instill fear in the hearts of new drivers but to make them aware of themselves and others. To make sure they are sharing the road instead of driving recklessly.
My answer to your second question might not be a popular opinion, but I feel like it needs to be considered. I believe the required driving hours should be longer. I just think that driving should be taken seriously. While there are some mature kids, the majority don't pay too much attention to the lessons. And if drivers were taught at a more mature age, I think it would help with how important safety on the road is to them. Because while it is an exciting moment, it is also a time when childhood is coming to a close, and some kids don't understand that. But in reality, there is no way to force someone into paying attention, so leaving them to learn by their or other people's mistakes is the most realistic thing to do.
I have not been in a car accident, but I do know a few people who have. My older sister was driving when the car in front of her stopped abruptly, causing a crash. The car was totaled, but my sister was fine. One of my friends was in a car crash. The car flipped over twice, and thankfully she only broke her arm. My friend's boyfriend is constantly on his phone while driving. I have only gotten a ride from him with him twice as a result.
What can I do to be safe and help others on the road. I think when I'm at the wheel, I could be more attentive. I tend to lose focus a lot and that can't be happening while I'm on the road. I think If I risk looking lame and express how important road safety is to me, my friends would tighten up their act.
Thank you for your time.
