Steering In The Right Direction

Distracted
driving is the leading cause of car accidents and vehicular
fatalities. By teaching drivers ed, people are able to better
understand their duties and responsibilities as a driver. This
includes teaching and learning the rules of the road and how to stay
safe while driving, which could ultimately decrease the number of
injuries and fatalities world wide. As a whole, drivers need to have
their undivided attention on the road. That means putting away phones
(and any other screens), having a calm environment in the car, and
eliminating any other possible distractions. As a passenger in many
different cars, I have seen not only my friends but my parents
practice irresponsible driving. I cannot count the times I have been
in a car where the driver is using their phone or being distracted in
another way. As a driver and passenger I can try to keep a calm
environment and try to decrease the number of distractions in the
car.
