The Driver’s Seat”

What is the importance of
drivers ed? As we know as citizens, drivers ed provides
people with the knowledge, skills and mindsets needed for vehicle
safety as drivers. Not only for the drivers, but also for the
pedestrians. Many people may wonder or think how this affects the
reduction in the number of driving deaths. Allow me to explain that
the driver’s manual is like a law book that has been produced to
protect drivers from future accidents as well as consequences or
penalties.

Adults and teenagers have
vehicles because they provide freedom, comfortable transportation,
they’re awesome to have, and they’re capable of carrying family
members a lot of miles just using gasoline. But vehicles are known as
weapons that are filled with flammable liquids, and usually your
loved ones. Keeping them safe would be the number one priority.
Simple Steps that can change the environment by reducing the outcome
of motor incidents are Don’t drink and drive, distracted driving, and
follow the traffic laws. These steps outlined above will reduce the
risk. Do this, you’re going to help make roads much safer for
everyone.

In my experience, I saw many
of my friends and family driving irresponsibly. You might ask
yourself this question, “How do my family and friends drive
irresponsibly? ”. Well, in my opinion, my family thinks that they
have more experience and that they are more skilled in assuming that
they no longer need to comply with traffic laws. In fact, sometimes
my family tends to use their cell phone while they’re at a stop light
and driving, in which I find it very dangerous that they should
always keep their eyes on the road at a stop light. Slightly my
friends tend to drive irresponsibly, speeding is the main issue.It
seems to me that a few of my friends should always rush to their
destination, in which I also find this very alarming, because
speeding is also another major cause of vehicle accidents.

As a future young driver from
the experience outlined above. Steps I can take to become a better
and safer driver are taking a pledge from the company AT&T “ It
Can Wait” to promise to never text and drive, and always follow the
traffic laws regardless how much experience I’ve gained over the
years. Personally, I encouraged others to make a commitment to
reduce all distracted drivers, and also I encourage all citizens to
never multi-task inside their vehicles.
