Educating drivers with proper driving techniques, as well as educating everyone about the dangers of driving under the influence or simply showing them why wearing a seatbelt is important are steps that can be taken to reduce driving related deaths. Each year in the United states around thirty-four thousand people die from something as simple as driving. This should not be taken lightly, and should be a call for prevention. To produce a good driver you must first educate that person, because without having any knowledge of the road that person is only as good as a headless driving chicken.
Personally, being in a car crash is not something I want to relive; Nor do I want to relive the pain I felt from the impact of the two vehicles colliding. I also don't want to see how everyone else was impacted by the crash, by this I mean that if someone died because I caused an accident this will most certainly weigh heavily in my mind. I remember seeing the driver of the opposite car get out of her damaged vehicle while screaming in agonizing pain, this mentally scarred me. Never will I want to rehear the inhuman screams I heard that day. Lucky for all of us no one died. Sadly though we were left with the trauma and horrible body pains caused by our careless driving actions, which could have been prevented. Being aware of my surroundings and being mentally focused while driving are steps I can take to be a better and safer driver each day. Not only does driving safely keep me alive, it also decreases the chances of a coalition with another vehicle which could hurt another person and even end up badly hurting me. Following the traffic rules when driving reminds us of our responsibility to keep eachother safe, this method helps us visually demonstrate to other drivers how they should be driving everyday and the importance behind it. Aiden Wilson Tozer, who is a christian pastor once said, “The driver on the highway is safe not when he reads the signs, but when he obeys them”.
