Text your friend OR save your life??

Drivers ed is important because it teaches new drivers the rules of the road, and it allows drivers to become aware of others on the road with them. It also teaches students the way of the road from a drivers point of view, so it helps become more aware as pedestrians. Many begin to understand how hard it may be for a driver to always be aware of pedestrians near them.

To reduce the number of deaths related to driving, drivers can put down all types of technology that will probably distract them. They can also make sure their phone is at a low volume so if lots of texts and calls come in, it will not be distracting. Pedestrians should always look both ways before they cross the street. Pedestrians should always look up when close to cars, because phones are very distracting. Looking at technology can cause you to think that what is going on on your phone is more important than what is going on in front of you (and your safety).

One time, my mom was driving and trying to turn into a one way, but a car on the far right side of the street didn’t see her car, and kept going at his very fast speed. He crashed into the side of our car, and I was very scared. At the time of the accident, I didn’t know why the car crashed into us, and why we didn’t speed up. Now that I have been in drivers ed, I know that the car crashed into us because sometimes it can be extremely hard to see other cars. I now know that you have to be cautious on other cars, especially in places where they are very hard to see. We were very lucky we weren’t hurt. There are many accidents that lead to injuries and even death.

My mom was hit by a car as a pedestrian, before I was born. She was hit by a car that was driven by someone under the influence of drugs. My mom was hit, and had many injuries. The driver fled the scene. My mom ended up spending a week in the hospital, and dealing with broken bones after the injury. Her story from this experience has taught me to be extremely careful as a pedestrian. It has also taught me about the dangers of driving under the influence.

To become a safe driver, I can try to understand the rules of the road. I will also help others by using my blinkers to warn others where I will go next. This will also help prevent accidents because other drivers around me will know my intentions regarding to where I am going to go. I will always leave my phone in my bag, and I won’t take it out while driving. I will also say something to my friends if they are in the car texting and driving.
