Final Comments/Takeaways from GJEL Safe-Driving Plegde

* I did not do a separate pledge on alcohol consumption because I do not drink, and have not been in incidents involving those who are under the influence.* This month of living by the safe-driving pledge has been very intentional, and at some points for a bit tedious for me. But nonetheless, the processContinue reading “Final Comments/Takeaways from GJEL Safe-Driving Plegde”

Pledge #4 No Distraction Toward Another (Aug 25-31)

The last pledge, which was an easy one for me to follow, is not to text someone I know is driving. It’s not obvious to know who’s driving from your contacts. As long as I do not text and drive myself, then I am know that I am not disturbing others. It’s on a person’sContinue reading “Pledge #4 No Distraction Toward Another (Aug 25-31)”

Pledge #3: If I See Something, Say Something! (Aug 18-24)

However, since I pledged to become a more responsible driver this month, I usedContinue reading “Pledge #2: “Seat Belts On?” (Aug 11-17)”

Pledge #1: Cutting off Phone Distractions (Aug 4-10)

I’ve learned about safe driving in high school, and also at my driving courses. While I’m aware of what I do when I’m driving, I do find myself to become distracted by phone calls. I feel compelled sometimes to pick it up, especially if it’s my own family member like my parents or sister. OtherContinue reading “Pledge #1: Cutting off Phone Distractions (Aug 4-10)”

GJEL Safe Teen Driving Pledge (August 2019)

This month, I took the GJEL Safe Teen Driving pledge to become a safe driver, and to insure that safety is maintained between myself and passengers at all times. It’s my goal to consistently do the following 5 things every time I am in the driver or passenger seat: 1) not to be distracted byContinue reading “GJEL Safe Teen Driving Pledge (August 2019)”
