Once you obtain a driver's license whether you are 16 or 55, you now own a license to kill. 2800lbs worth of metal, steel and fiber all controlled by a single individual makes it one of the most devastating and dangerous pieces of equipment in modern society. Accidents claim the lives of many individuals on a daily basis; young or old, big or small. All it takes for a simple �slip-up,' perhaps not paying attention, becoming distracted, or unaware of how operation�of your�vehicle is being driven in an�unsafe manner. Please keep in mind, the level of danger you put to�those around you in when you drive the way you do.
Statistically speaking, accidents are more prone for the following reasons.
� Excessive speeding.
� Under age drinking
� DUI (Driving under influence)
� Drag racing.
� Numerous passengers.
� Narcotic possession
� Use of cellular device.
� Not wearing seatbelt.
Although these are key factors and deadly combinations to obtain during driving, teens are not solely responsible for committing these acts. There are numerous irresponsible adults who violate state laws each and every day. It just so happens that the majority of teenagers are caught more frequently than adults. Not every teen looks forward to violating regulations authorized by state highway authority. Infact, there are quite a few teens who really want to do the right thing.
Keep in mind when driving, the amount of responsibility you attain now that you possess a driver's license. An automobile is a huge piece of expensive machinery, which can cause serious bodily harm if operated in an improper manner. Please remember the following�while on the road:
� Wear a seat belt!
I know seatbelts don't possess much of a cool looking appeal. The one cool thing is that they'll help safe your life! Without a seatbelt, the human anatomy is completely vulnerable to the movement of the vehicle. Also, make sure that�the belt �is fitted properly. A loose seatbelt is useless and can possibly cause more harm than good.
� Get off of that cell phone!
Nothing could be worse than breaking up with your girlfriend or boyfriend and getting into accident at the same time. What a day that would be! Cell phones impair your judgment and distract your ability to pay attention. It's much harder to concentrate on the road and have an important conversation. So you say, "Well it's not that important!" If not, then just hang up the dang thing.
� Alcohol/Narcotics
Driving and gushing down an alcoholic beverage is a serious offense in any state. Alcohol impairs reflexes, coordination and timing ability. All of these are detrimental factors when operating heavy and powerful machinery. Alcohol limits your ability to do these things safely. Not to mention, being caught behind the wheel with an alcoholic beverage in your vehicle can result in your license being revoked or voided permantely.
� Speeding
Listen, I know you're late for work, but that's your fault, not mines or the next man behind you! Take it easy on that gas pedal and try obeying the speed limits in those very zones you blast through every morning. Speed can be a joyous thing on any racing game where life form is fictious. But in the real world, speed kills.
� Passenger counts
Passengers do count. If you decide to take a drive somewhere, make sure you do a head count and a behavior count of who'll be traveling with you. With all do respect, certain friends sometimes have the tendency to encourage you to be stupid, literally. They think it's fun and entertaining. If you know of a certain friend who encourages you to do the wrong things, leave�them behind. That same friend is the one who'll leave you when your car is all smashed in and lying in the junk yard.
Driving a vehiclecan be benefical, rewarding and a wonderful feeling. However, driving is a privilege and not a right. Therefore, in order to retain your driving privileges, one must follow the law accordingly, or face severe consequences.
