Teen Drivers
Today drivers are accumulating more and more unsafe habits with their vehicles. In my family numerous of people have bad driving habits from my grandpa to my cousin. A lot of them tend to constantly forget about safe driving habits. Although some realize they have these problems most still continue to break laws and put the people they love or don't even know lives in jeopardy. We all know that a door unlocked is a quick access to your vehicles. Meisha a cousin of mine learned the first rule when having a car. Never leave your car doors unlocked. Most people just hop out their car with no worries. One normal day she took her kids to a local convenience store. Upon arriving at the store she noticed a man acting strange. Of course she ignored him and went it the store. As soon as she went in to the convenience store the man attempted to get in the car. Luckily her 14 year old son was watching his surroundings. He was able to lock the door when the mad attempted to open the door to take the car. One of the biggest things drivers are doing wrong today is leaving their keys in their cars. Mt grandfather tends to get out car all the time n leave his keys behind. Him being a forgetful person he tends to leave his keys in the car all the time. Thinking his car was safe unlocked with the keys on the seat. He decided to take a nap. When he finally awaken he seen that “Barney” what he call his truck was gone. The neighborhoods told him the car was towed away by an an unmarked tow truck. He later found out what happen to his truck. His truck was not only stolen but it was taken to a scrap yard and broke down for money. No one received a thief charge because the left his keys an his door unlocked. Many people are constantly wanting to text and drive on a daily basis. As illegal as it is you would think more wouldn’t continue to do it anyways. As if they can't wait til they get to the destination, or if they can not stop there vehicle to text the person that is going

    Texting While Driving

    • 692 Words
    • 3 Pages

    There is rarely any legitimate reason to text and drive. The vast majority of the texts I receive and send are not life or death situations that require my immediate attention, but when I answer that text, I put myself in a life or death situation. I’m also failing in the responsibility that I and every other person takes up when they get behind the wheel, to drive to the best of my abilities in order to keep myself and those around me safe. It would hurt nothing if I was to simply ignore my phone for the duration of the trip, then answer any messages I’ve received. So by texting while driving, I’m putting at risk the lives of all around me, plus my own, all so that can have conversation that could…

    That reason why they have feel like they have no reason to be scared about texting is because they are not educated with the truth about texting and driving and that is the problem that is in need of being fixed. The only information they have about texting and driving are the senseless notions developed in their minds as a way to justify the reason to text and drive. With education, they will comprehend the ugly truth about texting and driving and will no longer feel comfortable with the idea of killing themselves or another person. By informing drivers what 5 seconds can do, how multi-tasking in the car with your phone is impossible, how it is worse than driving drunk and the chances of death just from picking up the cell phone alone will eliminate the false misconceptions drivers have on this issue and will deteriorate a drivers confidence to the point in which will compel drivers to have a second thought before texting and driving. However, it is also the decision of the driver to whether or not become selfish and put other drivers’ lives at risk for a message that can wait. If the message is important, then pull over and then take a look. As a society it is important to become aware of this issue and respond to it appropriately. James Trolley thought it was safe to text and drive and…

There are a lot people against texting and driving because it causes a great amount of car crashes each year, many of those being fatal.

    In my wallet, I store my dire personal items such as my driver’s license and credit cards, pictures, sss card, and my gift cards for stores. Last summer I was in Malibu California with my husband and kids. I drove there with my wallet and phone and took it everywhere with me, like I would any other time. Well when you have no pockets, then it is hard to keep your wallet and phone right next to you at all times. I was carrying my wallet, phone, and keys; I set them on top of my car. When I figured out that, I needed the keys to start my car. I took off leaving wallet and phone on top of my car. I had been driving about 2 miles before I realized that my wallet and phone was not there. Immediately I pulled the car over, and the next hour I spent looking for my wallet and phone.…
