Driving essay

If there is one thing I know about driving,is that people don’t pay attention on the road.People are too distracted when either talking to their friend on the phone or even texting on the road.With that people are eventually going to get in a crash and get hurt.When I started to drive on the road,my bad habit would be changing the song for long periods at a time.I got to the point that I would need to completely turn off my phone when driving or just turning on the radio instead.Eventually,I got feed up from music that isn’t my taste so I tried to think of some solutions and I came up with a couple.So I want to explain how my ways of me being focused on the road helped without getting distracted.

My first way of me being focused is I made multiple playlist of different types of music.Some of my playlist includes different languages like k-pop ( korean pop ) , japanese music , english music.Within those playlist’s are different types of styles of music, some up beat, some danceable and vibeful. All types of music are in categories, even sad ones.When I drive, I put up beat songs because I don’t need to be sad when driving on the road.Overtime, my plan worked and I wasn’t every song that I disliked at that point of time.

Another strategy I used is me texting all the people I need to text before I get on the road.Before I used this idea,I would barely text people but I didn’t want to take that change when coming down to getting pulled over or even getting in a crash.I would take my time into texting people before getting on the road because I need to focus even more on the road and not get me or others hurt.

Finally, the last strategy I used is me taking a nap before I get on the road.Believe it or not but there are times when I get tired of driving, I get sleepy and tired.So a way to fix my problem with that is to get at lease 2-3 hours of sleep no matter where I am getting.I have this thing where if I eat a meal, my body gets sleepy randomly so I would rest.

Overall my strategies have worked when I am driving.I am not on my phone anymore.I don’t need to skip songs on my playlist, and I don’t get sleepy when driving on the road.I am glad that I saw and realized my problems before I would have gotten in a crash.I never wish to be injured let alone get someone else hurt because of my mistakes.I yet have a crash on my recorded and I plan on keeping it like that.I hope that people can see their mistakes when driving on the road.

I think the importance of driver education is amazing and that the fact that my college made me do a driving education video, reviewing the safety awareness, what not to do behind the wheel, and the dangerous behavior that can involve law enforcement. Drivers education can teach facts and signs when driving on the road that you may not have known.The knowledge of safe driving reduces the number of fatal accidents on average.In conclusion, drivers education programs can create safer road environments.

Being in a car accident is by far the most scariest thing i’ve ever experienced.I remember the car accident as if it was yesterday but it was actually 8 years ago. I was in the backseat of the car with my brother sitting with me in the back and my mom was driving us to my little cousins house to have playtime while my mom went to work.As my mom was waiting for others cars to get through the entrance, the car exiting the entrance hit my moms car!I was so scared for the fact that the car hit MY SIDE of the car and I could have died.After that happened, the driver was apologizing to my mom but the damage wasn’t all that bad, but it was a huge dent in the car.

I believe that other drivers shouldn’t be on there phones, eating or keeping themselves distracted while driving on the road.As a person that almost died in a car accident,the most dangerous safety hardased is texting while driving,since the driver that we got into the accident was doing.Like I said earlier,I think texting and calling the people you need to do before getting on the road is much more safer than doing it on the road because that can cause fatal accidents.
