During this task, I learned the real dangers of speeding. I also learnt that the most likely age group to speed up is people between the ages of 17 – 25, this is also the age group most likely to die in a car accident. This showed me the risk young people put themselves in when behind the wheel.
I would advise new drivers to start with as few distractions in the car as possible. This helps the driver focus on the road. When the driver is distracted, they can miss signs and warnings about what is approaching on the road. This can be the difference between life and death in an accident, as just a moment of lost concentration can mean fatility.
I promise myself that during my time driving I will have 100% focus on the road, and I will also follow all the road rules correctly. This obliges me to follow speed limits and never exceed the limit (even when overtaking). I chose this commitment because during this assessment I have seen the real dangers of speeding and the costs that follow. I plan to follow this commitment by always being focused and watching my speed, also following the guides given by the government relating to speed when wet and in the dark.
