Have
you ever encountered someone that got into a car accident? Or maybe
you experienced it first hand? When you look around, car accidents
are happening more frequently than usual and according to driver
safety statistician on average, there are 3,287 deaths a day
involving car accidents. To overcome this fatality, everyone must be
willing to take drivers ed classes to aid in the reduction
and prevention of deaths due to driving. If we do not take action the
outcome could become worse than it is now.

     Nowadays
people are continuously driving irresponsibly and I have witnessed it
first hand on a daily basis. Moreover it do not always be from my
relatives; it be from numerous people I come across. What I’m trying
to say is that it is not the car you guys its the person that is
driving it. The fear of getting into a car accident goes beyond my
endurance. As I sit and observe various drivers, several red flags
tend to go off as people are not following road instructions. For
instance, more than a handful of people continuously run stop signs
and red lights, eating while driving, and the most popular of all,
texting and driving. It all results into cars colliding, you running
off the road ,or maybe simultaneously causing someone to lose control
of their wheel. It never seems to end well.

      It
is not because they are not thinking about others well being; most of
the time they just need  guidance on how to become a safe
driver. It will lead them to be more cautious of others, as they
would become aware of how they are not just driving for themselves,
but for their peers on the road as well. Therefore I recommend for
everyone to take drivers ed courses as needed. It will enhance
your driving techniques in several occasions as you would even learn
how to manage your speed on busy roads and merge lanes without any
mishaps.

    All
in all, let’s conquer the steps we have to take to reduce the number
of deaths related  to driving by digging deeper into a more
responsible aspect of driving safe and bringing awareness to more
people. Because nine times out of ten if we continue to go on with
our lives without living up to becoming a safe driver ,it would leave
us in despair from the frequent car accidents that occurs around us
-knowing how we are not taking it into caution into making a change
towards decreasing the death rate irresponsible drivers cause. We
could make a difference by taking our drivers ed courses.
