It’s a sunny afternoon and you are driving your family to the beach for some reckless
fun.
This is a much overdo vacation that you promised everyone, so that everyone can
relax and have a good time.
You yourself have been looking forward to this time as well.
Working 60 hours a week for the past couple of months has really left you drained, and in
need of a good time.
While you are driving your family to the beach though a driver zooms by going 20
miles over the speed limit.
This driver is putting you, your family, themselves, and everyone on the road in danger due to their inability to follow the
rules and drive safe.
A few moments later you notice flashing lights and ambulances rushing by you.
There has been an accident.
It turns out that the driver that was speeding ended up hitting a slick spot on the road and
crashed their vehicle.
The driver dies on impact.
What was supposed to be a fun vacation for everyone has turned gloomy before you are
even able to enjoy the beach.
Even though the person speeding ended up dying, drivers can still learn from this to
remind them what happens when people drive recklessly.
The most common types of reckless driving include speeding, tailgating, and drunk
driving.
The most dangerous behavior is speeding.
Drivers are more likely to get into crashes when they speed, and are more likely to die
from this.
The second activity that drivers can do that puts them in danger is tailgating.
By not keeping a safe distance from the other vehicle drivers are more likely to get in an
accident that could lead to injury for not just the driver that is tailgating and their passengers, but also the driver and passengers of the vehicle they
were tailgating.
Another common reckless behavior is drunk driving.
The unfortunate truth about drunk driving is that it takes the lives of millions of people
every year.
This sort of behavior is totally preventable, yet so many people refuse to take the steps
necessary to get home safely.
In addition to the most common types of reckless driving there are driving behaviors
that are just as dangerous and these include distracted driving, not using turn signals, and
running red lights and stop signs.
Each of these activities not only increases the chances of the driver receiving a ticket, but also ending up in an accident that could
be fatal.
