Safe driver
Deaths have grown rapidly in the past couple of years. There are many teens and people who just decided that they wanted to skip drivers ed and get their license. That’s where accidents and deaths come in. It’s important for teens and new drivers to go through this before getting their license so they know all the important things about being behind the wheel and how to go about driving the safest way. Also, everything they need to know about a car. The more people that attend driving school the less accidents occur. Driving school is so important and everyone should attend no matter how good of a driver they think they are. It will help people gain some important skills and better driving habits.
Some steps that can be taken to reduce the number of deaths related to driving could be to attend driving school. Take everything you’ve learned there, put it together with all the things you’ve already known and just apply it to the road. Make sure you get as much practice as you can. If you’re a new driver, maybe don’t have as many passengers in the car with you, that could distract you.
Really no one should speed but new drivers especially, that’s not safe. Whatever was going on before you go on the road, keep that somewhere else because you don’t want to take that out on any other driver because now, you’re both mad. If you really don’t need to drive, avoid driving in bad weather. Don’t use your phone for anything because you could look down for not even a minute and when you look back up you could have caused a wreck. If it’s important then you should pull over. The most important thing is to always wear your seat belt.
I have been in a car accident before. I was a lot younger, with my cousins we were going to the mall and she was talking not paying attention and before she could break we had already crashed, I haven’t witnessed a friend or family member driving irresponsibly.
For me to become a better driver I need to make sure I have as much practice as I can and know all the importance about being behind the wheel. I need to also make sure that I don’t get nervous when I’m driving and not worry about the other cars. If I know I’m doing the speed limit and being safe, then that’s all that matters. I also need to not let every little thing like my phone or other people distract me causing me to take my eyes off the road. I should also make sure there is not anyone in the car with me who will distract me. Never have alcohol with me in the car or drinking and driving. Before getting in the car check to make sure everything is working. That goes for every single person who is driving not just me and anyone that’s new to driving.
