Life
is to Important not to be Educated

There
are so many reasons to have drivers ed. Nobody wants to get a
call that their teen driver has been involved in any car accident,
much less a fatal car accident. It’s not only teens it is everyone,
you never want to get a call or hear on a news cast that someone has
died due to a car crash that is why it is so important to have Driver
education.

What
is the importance of drivers ed in reducing the number of
deaths as a result of driving? It is important to have driver
education so we can reduce the number of driving deaths a year. We
need to be doing this because
Teens
taking drivers ed are less likely to be involved in crashes or
to receive a traffic violation during their first two years of
driving. Because teen crashes and fatality rates are highest at ages
16-18, these reductions are especially Important.

What
steps can be taken to reduce the number of deaths related to driving?
The obvious ways are obey the traffic laws, be predictable, avoid
distractions, drive rested, and steer clear of alcohol and drugs. But
people also need to realize that especially in places like California
and busy cities that you need to give the car in front of you room so
if they have to stop really fast you don rear end them and cause a
car accident or a huge pile up of cars involved.

Have
you ever had an experience of being in a car accident or have seen
your friends or family members driving irresponsibly? I have
personally been involved in a car accident not because of
irresponsibility but because of weather conditions. So people think
that drivers ed is just rules of the road, it needs be be how
to drive in bad weather because life doesn’t just stop because of
weather so people need to be educated on how to drive in it because
there high amounts of car accidents due to weather and road
conditions.

What
steps can you take to be a better and safer driver as well as help
others become safer on the road? People need to know how to be a
defensive driver people also need to know what to do in a situation
that may not be good like weather so they don’t cause car accidents
because they don’t know what to do.

I
do believe that There are so many reasons to have drivers ed.
Nobody wants to get a call that their teen driver has been involved
in any car accident, much less a fatal car accident. This is why we
as drivers need to be educated.
