A Drivers ed

As we start approaching the target of becoming teenage adults. We imagine the best out of it , like passing out drivers license test, work , college and partying. But do we really understand the importance of having a drivers education? Most of us drive without acknowledging the dangers and importance of having a driver's education. An average of 34,000 people die each year as a result of driving in America. Not only are many of these people dying from car accidents, but also drunk drivers, irresponsible teens that do not understand that in order to drive one must be aware of others and safety. A drivers ed helps reduce the amount of deaths by providing knowledge ,skills and attitudes needed for vehicle safety both as a driver and as a pedestrian. Moreover, the key to reducing the amount of deaths of driving is by obeying traffic laws, avoid distractions, drive rested and steer clear of alcohol and drugs. Throughout my whole existence or from what I can remember I have seen at least two of my family members who have irresponsibly driven on the road under the influence where is has made me feel unsafe and precautious when entering a car with a friend, family or individual whom does not follow in with the laws. My steps to become a better and safer driver on the road is driving well rested, cautions of pedestrians, avoid distractions such as phone calls and observe my surroundings as well as other drivers.
