Learning during the task
This task allowed me to explore the dangers of drink driving and discover in more depth why it is unsafe for people to do. I have learnt many facts as to why driving while under the influence is not a reasonable option when you are trying to get home from a party. Some of the facts I have learnt are that over 40,000 people die each year because of drink driving according to some studies. Drink driving is a massive issue that needs sorting out if we want to make our roads safer. Lastly, I have learnt that 43% of Americans have admitted to driving under the influence.
My advice
There is so much advice that can be passed on to young drivers to make them safer and less dangerous. There is always a risk while driving but that risk increases ten fold when you drive under the influence. The main piece of advice I would give young drivers if they are trying to be a safe, responsible driver is to never drive under the influence or get in a car with someone who is drunk and wants to drive. I would give this advice because so many people drink drive and we need to stop people from doing it.
My pledge
To never drive under the influence
To always be a safe driver
To always be a responsible driver
To always follow the road laws
Why I chose this Pledge
I have chosen to commit to this pledge because it will allow me to be a safe and responsible driver. This in turn will keep pedestrians safe, myself safe and other people in vehicles safe. I will implement this pledges message by sticking to my morals and understanding the ramifications if I were to break the pledge.
