Have you ever had an experience of being in car accident or have seen your friends or family members driving irresponsibly?

I have never experience a car accident personally, however, I have seen friends driving irresponsibly after football practice. One incident involved a player driving too fast leaving the parking lot and crashed into a fence. He wasn’t injured, however, he did damage school property.

What steps can you take to be a better and safer driver as well as help others become safer on the road?

I can become a safer and better driver by continuing to use my seat belt, inspecting the vehicle weekly before driving and watching out for others. Second, never use a mobile phone while driving. Be attentive to the road and what’s happening on your travel. Finally, being a good example for friends and family will instill a mental picture for others to follow.
