Drive Safely in LA
Have you ever seen a bunch of cars crashed or just one or two cars crashed? You probably have. According to Los Angeles Car Accident Statistics, car crashes happen almost 140 times per day in LA! So if you don’t want that to happen to you or all the other people then please consider my essay.
Reason number one there are a lot of car crashes in LA and most of them are because you or other people are not paying attention to the road or other riders. According to “Discover Los Angeles, traffic is usually heavy on the freeway in the morning and evening because people are either going to work or getting back from work. And that is most of the day which is why there are so many car crashes at that time”.
My second reason is you need to watch out for other people, you need to watch out for bumps, animals, car parts, etc. And you can seriously injure someone or even kill them!! “According to BKIDS.com, traffic on LA freeways is constantly bumper to bumper traffic. California has more cars than any other state in the USA. This makes me think there is a higher chance of crashes and it takes longer to get to your destination”.
Finally you can get in a serious injury. What if you cross a red light? You will get a fine and will have to pay money, if you were focusing that probably would not happen. “Streets for all say, traffic can be stressful-so stressful that incidents of night time domestic violence increase by 90% on the worst traffic days”, so try not to be stressed while driving so you can be a more calm person.
So consider that for a moment you don’t want this to happen to you do you?
And a little add on you guys should use electric cars because it is good for the environment and the gas and diesel fuel is too much!! Even better, try to go places together when possible so you can carpool, look into rideshare options for work, when possible use public transport, for short distances bike or maybe just walk! Maybe you can do a zoom call instead of driving to someone's house. Try to not use a car if you don’t need to. Thank you for reading my essay!!
I am part of The Peace Warrior’s Global Youth Program 2024 (GYP) and I have created this petition to create safe driving in LA, to spread awareness and reduce car crashes . I am part of a test for smaller children to be a part of the GYP so kids can be inspired at a young age and do better when they grow up. Thank you for your support!
