Why Driver Safety is Important

What is the importance of drivers ed in reducing the number deaths as a result of driving?

• Drivers education is important to the safety on the road because it provides the basic and essentials knowledge every person needs to know in order to obey the laws and keep both the in the car and the outside world, out of harms way. If everyone stuck to the laws and drove safely, the number of deaths as a result of driving would greatly decrease.

What steps can be taken to reduce the number of deaths related to driving?

• It’s a hard task to be completed and it’s a shame that we will never truly get to that point, but the biggest thing is don’t drive while under the influence or while distracted. Modern cars and phones always have a lot of ways to help keep your hands on the wheel, but some people eat and drive, reach for objects, look away from the road and drive while drunk. That is the biggest step that can be taken to help reduce the number of deaths on the road.

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

• Yes, I have been in the car when a family member was drunk, and I have also been in the car with my little sister while someone was extremely high and could barley drive. Luckily, everybody was fine, and no accident was caused but we were a lucky case out of the millions of drunk driving crashes.

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

• I personally do not drive yet, but I know my biggest issue when it comes to it is my anxiety. Being anxious while driving is not a good thing and it’s important to be calm and collected when on the road. I can help others by answering heir phone when it goes off or changing the music, so they aren’t distracted.
