The best way to reduce the number of traffic accidents is to make all young drivers complete a safe driving education course before being licensed to drive.
Traffic accident is one of human beings’ fatal enemies.The major cause for traffic accidents is lack of safety awareness.Therefore to complete a safety driving education course is a very important way to reduce the number of traffic accidents.However,the key point for this issue is people’s awareness towards safety.It is a long-term goal rather than a single course for safety driving.
Actually,the safe driving education course has already been undertaken in China.To get the driving licenses,people should attend a one-month training for traffic rules and pass the examination on regulation before they take further on-road examination.During the traffic rules training,the lecturers re-stress several times the critical role of safety in driving.During the on-road exercises,the coaches emphasize repeatedly the importance of safety in daily driving.Further,during the examination,most of the students get high marks,which indicate that they are really well equipped with all safety knowledge.However,safety related traffic accidents still occur and the peace-breakers are not only young people,but also the middle-aged and experienced.Safe driving education is a long-term commitment and should be carried out with a regular basis.Many cities,which have implemented the quarterly safety training for those already obtained driving license,have made remarkable achievements.Their approach should be followed and gradually spread out all over the country.Only by this way can people build up their self-conscience for safety driving; only by this way can people pay enough attention to their daily driving work and only by this way can people reduce safety-related traffic accident fundamentally.
A single safety driving educational course will not help too much.
