My Family's Car Life

Children and safe driving

Driving on the highway at night, I sometimes think about things that I don't usually think about. The orange lights of the highway at even intervals and the beautiful taillights of the cars in front of me make me feel as if my speed is being absorbed by the darkness, and at the same time, the interior of the car seems to be more "alive" than usual.Your own spaceIt makes you feel like "I'm not the only one.

The other day, on the way home from my parents' house, I got on the highway as usual, and the children fell asleep immediately, probably tired from playing. When I looked in the rearview mirror to see their sleeping faces dimly visible in the dim light, I had this thought.

I guess it is all up to me to drive, to protect these children's sleeping faces and to put them in danger....

And.

A child's sleeping face is a strange thing. Usually they don't listen to me, and there are many moments when I feel hateful, but when I see their sleeping face, all that is instantly blown away. I'm not sure if it's a "good thing" or a "bad thing.Children's sleeping faces are angelsThey say, "It's exactly what it sounds like."I must protect these children's sleeping faces at all costs.It makes me feel like "I'm not a good person.

Don't be overconfident about your car and driving.

As expected, on this day on the highway, too.Cars slowing down in the passing laneI encountered a Whenever such a car comes in front of me, I, who still lacks mental training, immediately get irritated.

Why did you dare change lanes in front of me just now when you were just going at that speed?"
"They're all lined up back there, aren't they looking in the rearview mirror?"

I was filled with a feeling of not-so-good feelings, such as "I'm not good at this.

If I had been younger, childless, and driving a Porsche or BMW in that condition, I would have immediately bumped it out of the travel lane or possibly even agitated it.(I used to be even more feisty than I am now...)

Currently, Porsche isIt is a very high performance car, so even if you don't have much driving skill, you can pass the car in front of you with ease.I think so. The acceleration is also tremendous, and the steering operation at high speeds is not shaky or scary at all.

So.It gives the illusion that you are a better driver.

However, that is the pitfall, or rather, the point to be careful of. When overconfidence goes too far, we drive too fast and lose control of the car, which leads to an accident.

Now I'm in a position to do so, and most importantly, I'm running with children in tow, so I'm like, "You know what?"If we force them out or agitate them here, we will put the children in danger.The consciousness of "I am a good person" comes first.

."I'm not in a hurry, so I'll just keep my distance and drive safely...When I am driving thinking like that, usually a car that is in a hurry to get ahead of me will cut in front of me and agitate the slow driver, which may result in the slow driver changing lanes to the travel lane.(Although we shouldn't expect them to.)

Drive safely because you are a Porsche driver.

In my twenties, when I was still single, I looked like I had grown up on my own and said a lot of great things to my parents. My parents were relatively strict people, and I often clashed with them because I was fed up with an environment in which I was not free to do as I pleased.

But it was not until I actually had a child of my own that I realized, "I'm not going to be able to have a child.How my parents brought me up to this point in my life.I can finally understand a little more now that the "Mere Old Man" is finally able to understand a little more.

Our family often went out by car, but I usually fell asleep right away and woke up when we arrived at the destination. I am sure my parents would look at me and my brother as we slept and say, "We must protect these children.I wonder if they thought of me as a "good person" or something....

."I am where I am today because I have earned it through my own hard work.There was a time when I was in a good mood, but my parents supported me and protected me a lot without my knowing until I was born and grew up in this world, and that is why I am who I am today.

I'm a parent now, too, and I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to say, "Don't let your own hands take away the future of our children.", of course.And don't deprive others of their future.When you are frustrated, you want to drive calmly and safely.

Although "Driving a high performance car like a Porsche and going to driving school to improve my driving skills.I think I'm in a dangerous zone where I'm most likely to get carried away... Whenever I get frustrated, I immediately think of my children's faces.

Driving on the highway at night makes me think about sentimental things that I would not think about in the daytime.

    I believe that safe driving is a driver's responsibility.

    As I said, I was also a victim of a rear-end collision this year.
    I was stopped at the tail end of a traffic jam on the highway and was hit from behind.
    I remember being quite upset, calling my mother-in-law, who was the first person to watch my children, and being the first to call her after the accident, which had been more than a decade since I was in college.
    (His wife told me the order was wrong.... LOL)

    The hardest part of the accident was mental.
    I guess it depends on the type of injury, but while my physical pain is gradually recovering, I still remember the moment of the accident at a moment's notice.
    I guess it is inevitable because it is a daily ride in a car, but this is quite a hard thing to do.

    Since then, I have been making sure to keep a good distance between cars in order to prevent myself from causing accidents.
    Perhaps the most important thing in driving is the space between the car and the mind.

    I sincerely hope that the world will soon become such a world, though I think we are far from an accident-free world since we see news of accidents every day.

      I'm sorry to hear about that...!

      It's... as you say, it's a mental part of the process, and it's traumatic...
      You always have to drive next to the fear of being rear-ended again at any moment...

      Not to mention not being the perpetrator yourself.
      I want a world where people can enjoy their car life safely without becoming victims...

    I agree. Even my life is owned by my family.
    I'm so excited when I sleep with my 4 year old daughter that I vow to protect her even if it kills me.
    I guess that means we have to be thankful to our ancestors when it comes down to it.

      >I'm so excited when I sleep with my 4 year old daughter that I vow to protect her even if it kills me.
      I understand how you feel...! You feel like protecting them even if they die.
      I used to think it was amazing when I saw a scene in a movie where a parent dies in place of a child.
      Now I'm starting to think that if I were in that position, I would do the same thing.

      As you say, we are grateful to our ancestors as well.
      I feel like I am being kept alive these days.

    After reading this blog, I realized that I had been driving unconsciously relying on the performance of my car. I will once again try to be more aware of safe driving. I hope many drivers will read this article.

      Buserbeater! Mr.
      Thank you! As I write, I am reminded that I need to be very aware of this.
      Thank you for your continued support!
