Dear Christian,
This letter is from your past. Remember that car accident you got into months ago? Well, I was thinking about it, and I replayed the events that led up to that incident, and I came to the realization that this whole thing could have been averted. So I have prepared this list so that stuff like this doesn't happen again.
The most important way to prevent yourself from getting into a car accident is by simply paying attention. Inattention and a wandering mind is the surest way to an automobile accident. A couple of seconds of distraction can be a couple of seconds to getting your car wrecked. So I cannot stress this tip enough. Always pay attention whenever you are out on the road.
The next most important tip to safe driving is to always exercise caution. Your failure to exercise caution is one of the main contributing factors of your accident. Before you make a move in the drivers seat, always scrutinize your action and think twice.
Another important tip, but for the most part common sense, is to always turn on your signal light when you turn. Again, another contributing factor in your accident. If you don’t turn on your signal light, then how will other drivers yield?
The last and final tip on how to avoid a car accident is by always checking your blind spots. Many times there will be another driver along side you and you won't realize them until its too late. So check your Car's blind spots often, and that should avoid a collision.
Take these tips on drivers safety seriously. They may be common sense lessons from driver's training, but it is very important to remember and abide by them at all times. I will see you in the future!
Sincerely,
My past self
This is good advice not only for you but perhaps anyone who has been in an accident. I think you could have prevented the accident with these helpful tips.
ReplyDeleteThis was a very important letter of advice, because it has the potential to save someone's life. I can tell from this letter, how seriously you take driver safety and I can understand why. The advice you gave to your former self could definitely have prevented this terrible accident from happening. It could even benefit other people who do not know of the risks that inattentive or careless driving can cause. Overall, I think you gave your former self an excellent letter of advice, and I know that it could have helped prevent this accident.
ReplyDeleteI like the advice you gave. It could possibly save someone the trouble of a wreck occurring to them. Most drivers think that they are invincible and so smart that they couldn't possibly do anything wrong and this shows that an accident can happen to anyone at anytime.
