The
main focus of Drivers Education of America is the emphasis on becoming
a safe driver. Horrible accidents can occur while driving in Texas
unexpectedly such as a sudden explosion or leak in one's engine, a tire
blowout while making an already-tight turn, being hit from behind while
you are stopped at a red light, and more. However, the odds of
serious injury (or worse) to you, your passengers, innocent bystanders,
other vehicles and other property increases when needless situations
take place. These can range from:
- speeding in bad weather such as a thunderstorm
- not using safe driving skills when driving on ice or on wet roads
- drunk driving or otherwise impaired driving
- reckless driving such as street racing
- knowingly driving an automobile which has very bad brakes or steering problems
- driving while you are sleepy or on medication which makes you drowsy
- texting while driving or looking for your phone which fell on the car floor while still driving
This
page will show you some news videos from recent years across Texas
which showcase bad driving choices that ended up causing significant
accidents and damage. For the most part, all of these were
needless outcomes.
