With tears flowing freely, the brutal truth reveals reckless choices and distractions that caused this collision into a tree. This personal tragedy underlines how urgently necessary comprehensive driver education is, which would turn other young drivers into alert and responsible road users. The story then moves into a general crisis-how roadway accidents break up families and societies. I emphasize the inclusion of new safety technologies and a change in cultural attitudes regarding road safety. Dedicated to ensuring those lost to reckless driving are remembered, I look to educate others on how to make the roads a safer place for all, illustrating how each decision made while behind the wheel has its own consequences. Using education and support I hope to cause ripples so others take the time to review their driving habits and make safety a point, ensuring that no one else endures the pain I have experienced.
