Eportfolio Reflection

What were the biggest things you learned while at the RAC bstreetsmart excursion?	When you come across an accident you shouldn’t try to do anything by yourself you should instantly call 000 and leave it to the experts to complete the task. You shouldn’t try to help someone unless the vehicle they are in is about to explode. The reason why you wouldn’t take someone out of a car in an accident is because you might cause extra permanent damage to their body. You should wait for the ambulance or other experienced personal as they can safely get someone out without causing any extra unnecessary damage.   Another big thing that I learnt at the RAC excursion was how distracting passengers can be to the driver. In the scene that they performed it showed the effects of how a passenger can be very distracting for the driver. The back seat passenger showed the driver a photo on his phone making the driver distracted and forcing him to lose his attention resulting in him crashing into a motorcyclists. By intentionally distracting the driver their attention to the road instantly decreases increasing the chance of a crash occurring. This is a very important to take note of.   Another very important thing we learnt at the excursion is to make the right decisions when your driving. If you choose to do the right thing and limit the amount of distractions present you can easily reduce the chance of an accident occurring. Also make the right choice and don’t drink and drive. If you don’t drink your awareness of the road will be high.
What one piece of advice would you pass on to young drivers above all else?   Why?	Make the right choices. This encompasses most if not all aspects of driving by simply making the right choice you can reduce the chance of a crash occurring. Things like not drinking too much before your drive or having your phone switched off when you drive are small things you can you do very easily. If you make the right choices you won’t need to suffer from the consequences of a crash or accident. This is the most important piece of advice as it is the simply decider between a careless and a safe driver. If you follow this the chances of you being in a crash are very low.
Write down a pledge that you will commit to when you start driving.   Why did you pick these things to commit to?   How will you stick to these commitments?	I pledge that I will not be an aggressive driver and be someone who follows all the road rules with the upmost care. I pick these things to commit to as if I follow all the rules I will limit the chance of an accident occurring. It will mean that I’m a safe driver and that I will not be a danger on the road. It also means that people will trust me to drive them on the road without likely causing an accident. I will stick to these commitments by listening in class and learning as much as I can about road safety. Also by making sure that I understand many laws so I that I never break them.
