In the Drivers Seat

The importance of drivers education on reducing the number of deaths is knowing how to drive. Being able to know the road signs, specific road signs to understand the people's times to crosswalk and when to halt is good to know so you don't kill yourself and don't kill others. If you know what you're doing, then you're on the right track to not kill yourself or kill others. Knowing your car lights and pass turns is a good thing so you don't crash into others or vice versa.

A couple of steps that can be taken to reduce deaths while driving is always wearing your seatbelt. Always make sure the traffic lights are green so you can go. Not use your phone while driving. It causes distractions, causes bad reflections in mirrors. Keeping your vehicle in good conditions so no car malfunctions occur while driving. Try to anticipate the driving of others, so you know what to do just in case something happened. Make sure you feel good mentally, emotionally, and physically so no crashes occur.

No, I have not been in an experience where a family relative or a friend has been in a bad car accident. I have not seen any of my friends drive, much less drive irresponsibly. I do not get into a car with a family member unless I absolutely must. That would be less risk of any of us getting into a bad car accident. Even when I have gotten in cars with any relatives they drive responsibly.

Make sure I'm good in all states. Avoid at all cost's alcohol, smoking, drugs or any addictions. Anticipate others moves so I can prepare for anything, see who is going to cross the road. And make sure I have a license. I would make sure the car is in good conditions, so I don’t have to stop in the middle of the road, or accidently not be able to break and sadly crash into a car. To anyone who gets in my car will always have to wear a seatbelt because I do not want to end up in jail.
