Saving
Lives

Driver
Education is essential course before obtaining your driver
license learning the knowledge, skills, and the rules and
laws of the road and operating a vehicle as a high school
student in a more efficient way and put an end to all of
these car accidents that is taking place in society.

Driver
Education course can be what can save the lives of
individuals getting into car accidents and killing others on
the road. Every day you watch the news about someone
getting killed in a car accident because somebody did not
make the right decision before getting behind the wheel of
that car getting distracted in so many ways such as:
receiving a phone call, text message, music up loud, someone
talking to you while driving, drinking, smoking, if we
avoid doing these things while driving we can save so many
lives.

Last
year in high school 2 months left until graduation after
getting out of school at 3:00 pm daily my uncle would come
to my school and pick me up and put me in the drivers
seat and take me driving every day after school as well as
on the weekends he was determine to help me get my
drivers license so the day did come I was excited but
nervous at the same time to go try for my license. The
driver examiner took me out driving on the road I did
everything right except making a point turn so I had to
come back a second time so me and my uncle continue to
practice more and more weeks have passed and I was getting
more skilled at making a 3 point turn I decided to go try
a 2^nd
time for my license this time it was a different examiner
so he took me on the road and I drove by following the
instructions he was telling me to do I was being cautious,
alert, and focus and he told me to drive back to the
examiner office and we arrived at the examiner office he
got out the vehicle then I got out right behind him and he
said to follow him inside and I did just that I was
thinking I did something wrong but it turned out I passed
the on the road exam and got my license on June 30,
2014the day of my birthday it was the best birthday gift
ever I was so excited to be an official new driver.

From
learning what was taught to me in the drivers education
course and what my uncle taught me while taking me out
every day after school and I have applied the rules and
laws of the road when driving has really help me become a
successful driver today.
