Drivers ed is an important class that teaches you the rules of the road and what should be expected from them when behind the wheel. All new drivers should be required to take a drivers ed class either online or in a classroom. If more people take a drivers ed class, the more knowledgeable people will be when behind the wheel.
There are many steps that can be taken to reduce the number of deaths that are related to driving. These can include making drivers ed mandatory for all new drivers. They can also have a staged texting and driving accident. My high school does this towards the end of the year for the seniors. Before they graduate, they are able to know the impact it may have not only on them but the others around them.
I have been in a car accident. It recently happen. I was in the right lane to turn onto the freeway when a car came over from the left lane. The stoplight was red. A car turned at the stoplight and everyone started inching forward. I had no moved forward yet and the car in the left hand lane squeezed in front of me. She is not completely in front of me. Another car at the stop light turn right and everyone inched forward. The lady in front of me decided to slam on her breaks and I hit her. Whether your in the right lane or not be aware of your surroundings.
For everyone to become a better safer driver, we all need to be aware or our surroundings and to not get distracted easily. The bad habits we create while driving can affect the others around us.
