Put Down The Phone

By Asha Willey Drivers ed is a very important part to learning how to drive. I found it one of the most useful parts. It really opened my eyes to how many accidents and deaths happen because of reckless driving that should have been avoided in the first place. Knowing how many deaths are caused by reckless driving is important to know and how to avoid these situations is also important. Some steps that can be taken to reduce the numbers of deaths related to driving could be increased advertising around cities about reckless driving, and the negative impacts it can have. Just more educating people about reckless driving is really going to make a difference, the more people that are aware of it the more people can take action to stop deaths related to driving. A lot of my close friends like to use their phones while driving. This is hard to see and sometimes can be hard to stand up for yourself and for others in the car. It is so important to tell someone who is using a phone while driving to put the phone down because it puts everyone in the car in danger but also other drivers and possible pedestrians. We can all take the time to educate others on the importance of safe driving, because it is worth it to save lives that deserve to be lived and not taken by reckless driving.
