As we become teenagers, learning how to drive is by far the most exciting thing. The problem is, we are so fascinated by the new experiences driving will bring us, rather than focusing on the implications it’ll have. If more people had conscience about how their actions behind the wheel affects others, there would be less deaths due to car accidents.

My essay is focused to young teenage drivers in a way that they can relate to. I discuss what it takes to be behind the wheel and how driving can affect you and other peoples lives.

Teenagers Behind the Wheel Driving behind the wheel comes with serious consequences. It begins with teenagers being very excited to finally have a car not understanding the importance of saftey. With all the technology we have such as Snapchat, Instagram, Twitter, etc, young adults get easily distracted. When driving, you should know that if you need to use your phone even if it is for a quick second or because it is an important call you should try to pull off to the side of the road to reply or another safe way to communicate is by using the HandsFree mode which is a way to hear a phonecall on speaker instead of texting. According to www.nsc.org there was a total of 40,000 car accidents where people lost their lives in the year 2018. It’s important that Driver’s Education which is a formal class or program that prepares new drivers to obtain a learner's permit or driver's license to educate about safety on the road and aids in providing knowledge on how to reduce accidents as well as informing drivers of the consequences that an individual can receive for causing an accident. Young adults who feel they are ready to be on the road should be aware about the fact that most accidents are caused by their age group. According to www.cdc.gov, which is a major operating component of the Health and Human Services website states that the “... risk of motor vehicle crashes is higher among 16-19 year olds than among any other age group.” Driving recklessly or under the influence can increase the road death rate. You should suggest to your friends who are out partying to not drive but instead use other transportation options such as Lyft, Uber, or calling a family/friend to pick them up. There are families being torn apart because those driving under the influence are not in the right mind to make responsible decisions. To reduce deaths in accidents especially for the 16-19 age group, high schools should provide a free drivers education courses on their campus for students and help with making the payments affordable. If high school’s can provide this for their students then there would be less accidents on the road and it can possibly reduce the statistics of 16-19 year olds having the highest car accidents. I believe that when given a ticket with a huge number on it makes it very tough for those who can barley provide for their families to ever get back on their feet because a fine for a DUI is expensive and when found guilty it ranges from $10,000-$15,000 dollars. Another step that can be used to become a better driver is to go online and practice more about safety. There’s a website called www.teendrive365inschool.com it is comprehensive program designed to promote safe driving habits and put an end to distracted driving. They provide you with 2-3 minute clips with safety behind a wheel and mini-quizzes and games to enjoy. Personally I have never been in a car accident but there are many car accidents near my home. Many of the car accidents that occur throughout my neighborhood are young teenagers who are speed racing with other vehicles. The last accident near my home was very emotional because hearing the families mourning for the loss of their children who were two young adults who died to severe burns was very heartbreaking. A story that has affected me personally was also of young high school students from Century High School in Santa Ana who died instantly in car accident after the driver had lost control of the wheel causing the car to roll over killing two and three others having serious injuries. Driving has very serious consequences that come along with it. This is why I agree that young adults should be provided with affordable drivers education before receiving a car. Lastly, steps you can take to become a better driver can be to learn things you need improving on during the night when there is less cars around and with an adult in the car if under 18 years of age. Ask a trusted family member or friends who you feel comfortable with in a car for advice. You can learn better from those with more experience behind a wheel. As teenagers we should educate one another to be more safe and cautious while out on the road. Speak to your friends who you feel need more training behind the wheel because a life can be taken instantly. Driving behind the wheel is to be taken very serious teach them to be aware and be alert. For more information you can head to calif.aaa.com for preparation skills and tips to become a better driver. Remember you can either hand in your keys or your life, make the right choice.

In my essay, I outline some of the ways we can teach the next generation and mold them into safe drivers, as well as what we can do to be more responsible when we are on the road with others.

The importance of driver education is absolutely crucial in today’s society. With a new age of social media among today’s teenagers, they aren’t worried about safe or paying attention to their surroundings. What they are worried about is showing off to social media that they’re able to drive or their new car that their parents have bought them. Due to this monstrosity, teenagers today are more likely to get into car accidents as opposed to those who are 25 years of age or older. In fact according to the National Safety Council, nearly 1.2 million car crashes in 2013 involved drivers talking on the phone, and at least 341,000 involved text messaging. There are many easy steps one can take so that we can reduce the number of deaths related to driving. For instance if one is talking to their friend, family member on the phone or texting them prior to driving. You can simply inform them that you are about to begin driving and when you have finally reached your destination that you will call them back or text them back. Another step that can be taken is to simply turn off the phone. By doing this there is simply no need to take a glance at the cell phone while driving. It would be most certainly less of a distraction, and if the drastic worry of this is “listening to music” you can simply turn on the radio. I’ve had an experience in a car crash before. It was a terrible day, rain was pouring, large amounts of traffic, drivers speeding past each other on a small road. I was driving home from my community college at the time, and I stopped at a traffic light going from yellow to red. I spent a minute at this light until I was rear ended very hard. I had gotten out of my car to check my bumper which seemed to be surprisingly okay despite the big hit. But the car that had hit me suffered a greater damage, the car hood was completely destroyed, the windshield was cracked I was honestly shocked at the damages of her car compared to mine. The girl had ran out of her car and she was hysterically crying, apologizing, saying that she was on her phone, begging me to not call the police and file a report. Of course I was disgusted when she said she was on her phone but my car only had a minor scratch so I decided not to call the police. Steps that I can take to be a better and safe driver as well as to help others become a safe driver is to first things first turn off my phone before driving. It’s a better alternative than putting the phone away or just trying not to use it at all. By doing this I’m not only keeping myself safe but those around me as well. If we all took the very hard choice of putting our phones away while driving, there would be less accidents, less deaths, and a safer environment for us all.

This is an essay about how to be a safer driver. It gives tips on what to do before driving and personal experiences that I have to live with that dealt with driving.

Driver education is great but currently does not do enough because people are irresponsible in how they drive. No one should have to stress whether some reckless driver happens to crash into them and ruins their car, day, or even life.

Getting a license is easy, too easy, and while the current system educates drivers how to properly drive, it is not instilled into them or enforced onto them well enough but does something to help. Reckless and drunk drivers are those that did not have what they were taught become integral to their driving and is something no one should have to experience being on the receiving end of. I just ask drivers to act as they did during the test. (This is possibly a resubmission as my previous entry has not shown up and there was no email saying that it was received)

Driving Education and safety should be on the top of everyone's mind while driving because things can happen on the road. If we are not careful, people can get hurt. If we all decide we want to protect each other even if we do not know each other, then we can start off by driving when we are sober. If we are tired and decide to drive, we can fall asleep at the wheel and put many other people's life at risk. The safety of the roads lies in our hand now.

I will be talking about the day I took the car and could've made a horrible mistake.

This essay is to bring awareness that you are not the only person on the road and you have to keep that in mind. You may follow the rules but other people may not so you have to be aware for your safety and the safety of others.

There are children on the road. Each drunk, distracted, or otherwise careless driver risks taking a child's life. They risk taking the life of a newborn making his or her first car trip back to their new home. They risk taking the life of a little kid excited to see his first baseball game. They risk taking away a loved one of any size, shape, or age.
