About This Quote
When people reach the age where they can drive, they begin to take driving for granted. They expect their driver's license to be able to get them from point A to point B every time they need to go somewhere. Of course, they do not realize that if they want to be a more responsible driver, they must take driving more seriously. When you become a driving citizen, you will learn that there is more to driving than going from one place to another.
You will learn that a good driver has a good knowledge of the local traffic laws and knows how important it is to obey them at all times. You will also learn that a good driver always gives extra attention to the other drivers on the road and is willing to give them enough time to enter an intersection before merging onto the road. You will learn that a good driver is not only knowledgeable about the laws of the road but also understands how driving affects other people and takes responsibility for her actions on the road.
