..anyone know of a class i can take or some self improvement driving advice?
HI Sarah,
I’m sorry about your accidents. They can be frustrating in the least.
It may help you to take drivers education classes or defensive driving classes. Call your local law enforcement agencies and ask them for information.
The most important thing about driving is paying attention to all cars around you, and also looking ahead to see what’s going on ahead of you a few blocks.
Use your turning signals every time you turn. And also realize that other people don’t always use their turn signals.
Pay attention to traffic signals and stop signs. When you come to a stop sign, make sure you stop AT the stop sign, not beyond it.
Use your mirrors – rear view and your side mirrors. Look through them every 3 to 5 seconds when you’re moving.
Don’t always expect other drivers to do the obvious. We all have different personalities and behaviors, to start with, and toss in a bad day, or an illness, or a mere sneeze, and you have a good probability of an accident.
Plan your route ahead of time. Know where you’re going, and how you’re going to get there. Change lanes way ahead of time before your turnoff.
Don’t talk on your cell phone.
Never text while driving. That’s plum dumb!
Hope this helps!
