Respecting Other Lives on the Road

Respecting
Other Lives On the Road

Concentration
is the most important factor when you are driving. According to the
CDC, each day in the United States approximately nine people are
killed and more than thousand are injured in crashes that are
reported to involve a distracted driver. Drivers ed
significantly helps drivers to avoid accidents on the road. Driver
education teaches people the basic rules of driving and allows
individuals to perform better on the road. It is significantly
involved in reducing the number of deaths as a result of driving
because people tend to forget to actually obey every basic rule of
driving on the road. Many drivers tend to speed up when they are in a
rush or performs an action that is dangerously enough to get into an
accident. However, drivers ed plants a good driving habit for
new drivers and allows them to reduce the number of deaths related to
driving.

To
reduce the number of deaths on the road, people would have to obey
every single driving rule, even when they are in a rush. Staying calm
while driving also helps people to concentrate better and reduce the
risk of getting into an accident. If you are extremely angry or sad,
it is better to calm yourself down because your mental stimulation
that processes your decisions might be weaker and increase the risks
of getting into an accident.

My
family was involved in a horrible car accident a long time ago. They
were on a long distance trip that involved more than seven hours of
driving. A male driver who was driving my family’s car fell asleep
and crashed into a huge truck on the highway. I lost my brother from
that accident and my whole family was physically and mentally in
pain. After that incident, our family took extra caution when driving
on the road.

To
become a better and safer driver, I will never lose my concentration
while driving and obey all the rules on the road. I will also not
drive incautiously, but drive carefully and safely as possible, even
when I am in a rush. Every time I drive, I will make sure I control
my emotions and remind others to stay calm in unexpected
circumstances. Most importantly, we would have to remember that there
are other people on the road, whose lives are extremely important as
ours, and we should take more caution to not destroy their future.
God provided us a chance to enjoy our life and we should not lose
that privilege by driving irresponsibly on the road.
