This paper discusses the National Safety Council’s recommendation on safe driving. It reviews the organization’s perspective on the issue and the strategies it proposes to reduce the risks of car accidents. The paper concentrates on safe driving for young people, summarizing the National Safety Council’s position and providing a personal opinion on the issue. It suggests the strategies for promoting defensive driving among teenagers and underlines the significance of precautionary education. Recommendations on Safe Driving Safety and concentration on the road should be drivers’ priorities. The National Safety Council (2018a) reports that in 2017, more than 40 thousands of people died in car accidents with the primary causes of crashes being speeding, alcohol, and distracted driving. As for many people driving is part of their jobs, the organization recommends the employers to offer driving courses to the employees and establish programs for those having problems with alcohol. The National Safety Council underlines that it is crucial to avoid the use of mobile phones while driving and wear seatbelts (The National Safety Council, 2018a). The organization pays specific attention to making driving safe for young people. The National Safety Council (2018b) reports teenagers who continue to practice with their parents after obtaining a driver’s license eliminate their risks of being involved in a car accident. The organization warns young people against using their cell phones on the road, exceeding the speed limit, driving without a seatbelt, drinking before or while driving, and having extra passengers in the car.

I would like to add to the National Safety Council’s recommendations regarding young drivers. I believe that it is necessary to establish educational sessions in schools that provide information about safe driving and underline the significance of the issue. In my opinion, young people tend to underestimate the possible outcomes of road accidents. Training sessions can show teenagers the reasons why wearing a seatbelt is essential, and inform them about the adverse consequences of careless driving. Moreover, young people can learn more about how the human brain performs multiple tasks at a time to see how using a cellphone while driving reduces concentration and can lead to an accident. It is crucial to point out that drivers need to prioritize their and passengers’ safety when on the road. If schools teach young people the rules of safe driving, the number
