Safety in driving

Driving is a big responsibility, you have your life in your hands and the life of others whether they are in your car or are other drivers driving ,the people that are walking, or riding their bicycles. On average there are about 34,000 deaths each year, that is a high number and it is very scary. There are accidents like car crash accidents that happen, there are also accidents where a driver hits someone that is walking or riding a bike. There are many ways to prevent these accidents from happening , that is why drivers need to be safe and educated. Driver education is extremely important for many reasons. Drivers ed plays a huge role in learning the basics of driving, what you need to understand on the road to be a safe driver. This will help people learn on respecting all the rules, because rules are made to keep them and others safe. Drivers ed helps there be more drivers that are educated leading for them to be safer drivers, they reduce the risk of deaths as a result of driving. To reduce the number of deaths because of driving, everyone needs to put their phones down while they are driving. Driving and being on your phone is a step closer to your death or someone else’s. As well as speeding and not respecting red lights and stop signs. Putting the phone away, driving at the speed limit and respecting the stoplights and stop signs can reduce the number of deaths that are caused. Driving is a privilege, to avoid life’s being taken away, driving should not be treated as a game. Driving is a mode of transportation, and should be treated with awareness and carefulness.

I do know a person that is a reckless driver, driving fast is cool to them, racing, texting and driving is okay to them. I view that as not respecting other people’s life’s. Reckless drivers cause really bad car accidents hurting people other than themselves. Some steps to be a safer driver is not driving until you are confident and have had enough practice. Not giving into pressure of driving fast because others want you to, or driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Be aware of your surroundings, and act responsible. Also not being on the phone while driving, you can not be focused on two things at once like driving and texting or watching a video. Put all your attention on driving. Something I would say to someone that isn’t driving responsible is ask them the question of what would they do if they took someone else’s life away because of their driving ways.
