In
the Driver’s Seat

Araceli Medina



The importance of driver
education is what happens on the outside of the car. Being in control
of the wheel and crashing would suggest it is the driver’s fault,
but no one would consider the fault of it being the people or things
outside of the car. Driving is a privilege, not a right, in my
opinion. The importance of drivers ed is learning the way to
properly drive and to injury no one nor yourself. Following these
rules will help reduce the number of deaths of driving.

Some steps that can be taken to
reduce the number of deaths of driving would be to FOLLOW THE RULES.
As I said in the first paragraph, I stated that driving is a
privilege not a right. By reducing the deaths that would lead to
safer streets and no reason to be afraid of driving on a familiar
freeway. Some steps would include following the handbook/rules of
driving, not using any electronics/ distracting items while driving,
and always pay attention to any road you are on. Driving is not
something to be made fun of.

I have experienced being in a car
accident, but it was nothing very serious. My mother was driving our
truck up to a stop light and as she stopped, someone behind us came
up and crashed into us. It was not a bad crash, but it messed up the
back end of the truck. My parents try their hardest to be careful
when driving when someone is in the car. They never have driven
recklessly and crashed into another car.

Some steps that I can take to be
a better driver would be to follow the rules and to make sure I have
no distracting items in the car. Driving is nothing to be made fun of
because it is a very serious matter. By helping others on the road
would be to signal them to keep your eyes on the road or other
things. To make driving safer would be to help each other remind the
rules of the road. Driving is a privilege not a right.
