The
Importance of Drivers ed

The
importance of drivers ed in reducing the number of deaths from
driving is to inform drivers of the consequences of their actions
while driving. Whether that be good or bad. A good driver may result
in avoiding crashes and preventing deaths or injuries. A bad driver
would result in more crashes or injuries.

In
order to reduce the number of deaths related to driving, drivers need
to be aware of the risks at hand. Sometimes it is easy as a driver to
not pay attention to the road because of what is going on in the car.
It is also common to forget that your life is at hand when simply
driving to work or school.

I
personally have never been in a car accident, but I am close with
someone who was once hit by a driver who was texting and driving. Her
and her husband were on a walk and her husband pushed her out of the
way, which resulted in his death.This is something the driver of the
car will have to live with. This poor woman who is now left without a
husband is now trying to spread the word to not text and drive. We
have heard this many times, but yet people still do it. It is
important to prevent this horrible accident before it happens. Do not
text and drive.

Many
times I am riding in a car with people and they will pull out their
phone and I won’t say anything because I don’t want to offend them,
or because I don’t feel like I am in danger. However, there is no
way that someone is paying attention to their phone and the road at
the same time. I am going to try to be better by putting away my
phone while driving, as well as reminding others to do the same.
Because it is not only putting the drivers at risk, but those in the
car and those in other cars as well.
