The feelings of another

Once in my life, I was in the car of a vehicle that was a potential threat to my life. I was sitting in the car with my little brothers and twin sister, hoping the car would stop. Wishing upon a star that I could make the world freeze in place for one moment in time. Driver education is the most critical and most needed education that could not only help people on the road but potentially save a life.

When you being your life and start growing up you eventually get introduced to driving. For me, driving was the scariest and most terrifying thing in the world. But then I was introduced to driver education this was the place where I felt more comfortable with the road. Taking the action to seat in the class and learn about the fatalities on the road, and the rules of the streets helped me see the importance of driving for others. I think driver’s education is very important cause it forces you to learn about how your actions can impact people by the slightest misjudgment. It holds you responsible for your actions on the road because you have taken your time to learn the ways of driving and have studied what was right and wrong. In addition to driver’s education, you learn about the number of deaths related to driving. Some steps that can reduce the number of deaths on the road are distractions, drugs, and sleep. One of the most caused reasons for the fatality on the road is the number of distractions this varies from music to the phone, to even talking to someone who is sitting next to you. When you are driving you need to understand that you are risking your life every day to transport yourself where you need to go people tend to forget that and that is why there are distractions. When taking away these distractions people tend to focus more on the road and what they’re doing because they aren’t buzzy doing something else driving. Drugs are also one of the top reasons for driving fatalities this can be drinking, smoking, or any other form. When doing these things they cloud the brain to where your judgment is not where it needs to be. That’s why when you take away drugs you focus more clearly and more intuned to what is going on. If there were stricter drug violations on what you can’t take before driving deaths on the road would be at an all-time low. One of the most common struggles is getting enough sleep before driving. This is common among anyone and once you are tired on the road your chances of crashing are through the roof. That is why it is important to get your sleep and make sure that you are well-rested before getting on the road.

When I think of my story rethinking the time of terror and fear I think about my time on the road. I was not behind the wheel I was beside the wheel looking at a person that was potentially going to end my life. I have never been in a car that swerved so much that it made me dig my nails deep into my skin to keep me sane. I have never felt that the seatbelt on my body wouldn’t be able to help me through the ride. I have never felt the fear of my life flashing before my eyes looking back at my family and hoping that I could stop the car in a second. But I sat through it through the fear in my body making me unable to physically move unable to say anything but look in fear. We were speeding up and slowing down and moving side to side and I was scared for my life. But thankfully we made it to our destination with safely I called my mom and told her about what happened and she told me that she would come and pick me up herself. How I plan on being a better driver is to drive for myself and others I want to pay attention to everything on the road and make sure that I give the road my undivided attention. I want to help others with driving and give them tips on how they can be better on the road. I want to help out by keeping everyone aware of how you can potentially lose or kill a life on the road.
