 Title Driving Your Awareness
HORTATORY
EXPOSITION
BROKEN Having a driving license is not
DOWN only a matter of passing a test,
BASED ON but also building awareness of
GENERIC what is the right thing to do
STRUCTURE while driving. Managing one’s
Thesis ego and maintaining safety on
the road are more important
than getting to a place faster.
These three T-junction
scenario might give a good
view of what we supposed to
do.

ARGUMENT
Firstly, as seen in the picture, the
wisest decision to make is to let the
blue car driver, who is going straight,
go first. If the red car driver forces his
way to make a turn to the right, the
blue car driver may be shocked and
too late to hit the brake; which may
results in an accident. The crash
between the two can lead to an
1 unnecessary quarrel.

ARGUMENT
Secondly, where as every driver has the
same right a road, giving a way for
others gives us more safety. It is pretty
often when the yellow car make a
crossing, the driver in the red car feels
that he has the same right to go at
almost the same time. The fact that
most driver are not aware of is that
every driver tends to focus more on any
object on his right when crossing a road.
This unwise behaviour may lead to a

2 crash between the yellow and red car.

ARGUMENT

Lastly, taking a thin chance to cross

does not bring any trophy. It is also
frequently found when the yellow
car driver forces his way without
concerning the blue car speed.
Similar to first scenario, the blue
car driver hit hits the yellow one
for his reflect of hitting the brake
on time might be absent. While on-
the-road driving is not a race, why

3 bother being the faster to go.

Compiled by Agnes Endah A.W.

RECOMMENDATION A driver should bare in mind that he
is a human with some limitation and
so are other drivers. Thus, all drivers
need to be considerate on the road
to maintain safety for everyone.
Going faster all the time does not
get us anything but trouble. In the
end of the day, all of us only want to
be home with our body, mind and
car intact.
