Responsible drivers assess their personal fitness to drive before getting behind the wheel. Discuss 3

questions you should ask yourself when assessing your fitness and explain how your answers determine

your fitness to drive.

The first question to ask is whether you have the emotional skills to drive at that moment. That's because driving can be very stressful and stress can distract me, or cause me to assume bad behavior behind the wheel, which can cause accidents. I must assess whether I have emotional support to drive with no stress.

The second question that must be asked is whether my documents that allow me to drive are valid. To drive it is necessary that documents such as driver's license and car documents are valid and up to date, as they may be needed at any time.

The third question I must ask is whether I have sufficient knowledge of traffic laws and how my car works. I must ask this, because traffic laws allow me to drive safely so I must know them well. In addition, knowing how the car works is essential for me to understand what to do and reduce the chances of causing an accident.

Explanation:

The word "fitness" refers to a set of factors that are necessary for something to be done. Personal fitness, in turn, refers to the cognitive and emotional capacity that an individual has to perform a certain task.

Driving is a task that requires a strong personal aptitude, therefore, before driving we need to assess our conditions and only leave the car if this assessment is positive. If the evaluation is negative, we should prepare more and only go out with the car when our fitness is strengthened.
