Importance
of Driving Safe and Saving Others Lives

As
young adults, many can’t wait to be able to drive and go to many
places on there own not having to walk or ask their parents to take
them where they want to go. Many don’t realize that taking a
drivers ed class is beneficial for them even though it isn’t
cheap. You learn the correct way to drive to drive safely, they also
teach you how to drive calmly when there is a reckless driver driving
next to you. It teaches you how to drive responsibly and with caution
to not cause an accident and pay attention at everything that is
going on around you.
One
way to reduce the deaths that are related to driving is by paying
attention what is going around you, not getting distracted by using
your phone, or other things that can distract you to make sure no one
is trying to enter your lane, there is a stop ahead, someone is
entering the road or stoping. This will help you prevent many
accidents from happening since you know what is going on around you.
I have never been in an accident nor seen anyone in my family drive
irresponsibly because our lives are valuable.

I have always been told by my
family that if someone is calling you or sends you a message just
leave it till you reach your destination. Just by answering either
and you being distracted and lead you to your death in a matter of
seconds. It is better to not answer people even if they get mad to
keep yourself safe than to put in risk your own life and the life of
other people. One thing that I can take to become a better driver is
pay more attention at the things that are going on around me then
just looking straight all the time to make sure that there isn’t
anyone that want to enter the lane that I am in or if someone is
entering the road that I an in. Another thing that I can do better is
to look at my mirror more when I am switching lanes. There are also
many things that I will have to do to become a better and safer
driver.
