This essay details the dangers of distracted drivers, how we become distracted, and a way of negating distracted drivers

In this essay, I hope to communicate the importance of driver education and how it can reduce the number of deaths and accidents. It displays my belief that If we push past the urge to do the bare minimum and discipline ourselves to utilize the privilege of driver’s education, we can not only become more knowledgeable individuals but also protect ourselves and those around us.

In my essay I have noted typical actions of distracted drivers but also how to drive in a safe manner.

My essay is about the dangers of distracted driving and the benefits of stick-shift driving.

I've described my own personal knowledge on what it is like being in an accident while also detailing tools and techniques that can help young people driving.

Youth is synonymous with optimism and a sense of invincibility. Teens are young, happy, and energetic with the whole world and their entire lives ahead of them, so things like mortality and imagining the worst-case scenario don’t come naturally. Bad things always seem to happen to “other people” and parents, teachers, and law enforcement are perceived to exaggerate negative consequences and have a glass half empty mentality, making teems not want to listen or believe older people. Sadly, younger people don’t tend to believe that bad things can happen to them until something terrible happens to someone they know or care about. Health problems, legal consequences, disability, or death seem too unlikely and distant when one is young and has a seemingly charmed life. Why else would so many young people engage in such activities as vaping, distracted driving, drug and alcohol use, unprotected sex, or reckless driving? These habits may be fun and feel good, so what could possibly go wrong? Buckle up, and let's talk frankly about all the things so many of us do that increases the risk of car accidents and what could be done to help teens become safer drivers. If you've ever been guilty of driving while eating a taco or playing a woodwind instrument, please listen up! I pledge to drive free from distraction and impairment, will you?

In this essay, I explain the importance of safe driving and explore multiple ways teens can practice safe driving. I also share my experience with irresponsible drivers.

Finally, driving is a complex skill, one that everyone must practice reducing the number of related deaths due to driving. The lack of experience and risk-taking behaviors can increase the deaths related to driving. In the end, we all need to take the responsibility to make sure the laws are being enforced and followed to save lives.

The number of deaths from car accidents in the United States is substantial. There are so many ways that us as Americans can help reduce this number. Not only in prioritizing what we have learned from our driving courses but making sure people we know prioritize this as well. Each individual in this country has a responsibility to keep our roads safe; not just me and not just you.

Have you ever had to sit through those boring lectures about road safety? Yeah, me too. Here are a few ways that our drivers education system can optimize the information retained while also keeping the students engaged through lively, stimulating activities.

In this essay the questions i will be answering are: What is the importance of driver education in reducing the number deaths as a result of driving? What steps can be taken to reduce the number of deaths related to driving? Have you ever had an experience of being in a car accident or have seen your friends or family members driving irresponsibly? What steps can you take to be a better and safer driver as well as help others become safer on the road? I've included facts and my personal opinion, I've also included a page for the resources that I used.

Believe it or not, the number of people who die each year from driving-related accidents is more than the number of soldiers who died in the Iraq and Afghanistan wars combined.

Hello! I wanted to write this essay not to just fund my dream of becoming a graphic designer/artist through one of my local colleges, but to also provide ideas that are hopefully beneficial. Driving as a whole can be scary, even if you are not the one at the wheel. You may sometimes never know when an accident is just around the corner, and I know from experience how scary of a sight that is to see. No one should experience something as traumatic as getting into an accident where any and all horrible things may happen to you, or the other people involved. So, I hope that any of my ideas outlined reach drivers and driving instructors alike, so everyone could play the part and drive smart!
