When
they say some died from a car accident, you get shocked. Well that’s
the consequences of violating the laws of driving. The laws of
driving are no more than the laws of motions of Newton. Because, when
an object is at constant velocity and it crash he wants to keep going
at that same velocity. That’s why there are a lot of deaths from
car accidents. The same way a object keep its velocity, the body in
that car is going at that speed and if the speed is over the limit
there is a 50% that it will end tragically.
First,
we forget the thing that gave us our license when we even did not
knew how to drive. There comes driving education, you pass the first
test, why?, because you knew the speed limit on rural streets, or
scholar. That was the base of becoming a good driver, getting to know
the laws. Then comes the second part of the driving education, when
you get to drive for the first time. You are scared and do not press
the gas, because there is a limit, you could not disobey. That’s
fine, you keep at 25 miles/h because that is the speed limit in that
area, and then you make the stops, turn the signal, and park. After
that, you go home with you license and celebrate. But later you
forget everything you learn except, pressing the gas.
That’s
is the importance of not forgetting. If it wasn’t for that there
will be like 30% of a decrease of car accidents or even deaths. If we
all drive at speed limit there will be so much space between cars and
trucks that it will be rare to have an accident.
The
only ways to reduce deaths related to driving is if we think what
would happened if you pass the speed limit, if you don’t see the
red light, if you don’t wait for you turn, if you start your car
knowing that you are drunk, those are the things that will make us
safer in the streets, if people reflect on their actions.
I
can talk about it because every time I got in the car with my dad, he
was drunk, I felt scared. That experience made me realize why there
are so many accidents, because people don’t know they are driving
like crazy.
In
conclusion, my way helping others become safer on the road is to keep
calm, stay focus, and if you do that, others will take that as an
example. Mostly everything psychological if some do something then
everyone will want to do the same. So be an example for others and
not a path to death.
