The concept of driving comes from the Latin term I will drive, which means to guide, to drag, to propel.
Guide, promote or carry out an activity
From this term, other words such as duke (a political and social position that established primacy to carry out guiding tasks) and conduct (the result of having been guided and led through life).
In our language, the term driving is applied to refer to all those situations in which a person takes the reins so that the same come to fruition, and this can be from a practical point of view, such as driving a car, to an abstract point of view, such as drive the education of a child throughout his life.
Drive vehicles
In common and rather informal language, the term driving is used mostly to talk about guiding and driving vehicles such as cars, among others.
In this sense, driving is understood as the action carried out by the person at the wheel and who uses different techniques and strategies to make that car move and move forward.
Requirements to drive: have a license and know the traffic rules
To drive any type of car, the person must have a driver's license that is obtained after taking an exam and that is issued by a authority competent.
It is considered that being in front of a car demands a great responsibility by the driver given that the way in which he drives the vehicle, prudent or reckless, may or may not cause damage to third parties and himself.
They are known to carry out reckless maneuvers, drive past the velocity maximum imposed by the authorities, not respecting other traffic regulations or driving under the influence of alcohol and other drugs implies driving absolutely reckless and surely whoever acts in some of these ways may cause a road accident that costs him and others life people.
So, taking into account these considerations, it is necessary and mandatory that whoever wants to drive a car carry out a driving course and when you want to process your driver's license be evaluated not only in practice but also in theory.
The vial education, as the knowledge in which a person who circulates on public roads, in a car, as a pedestrian, among others, is instructed, is composed of a series of traffic regulations that are aimed at avoiding accidents and loss of life as a result of reckless actions, whether by a pedestrian or a motorist.
The states must promote the knowledge of these norms, and as we already said require the circulation in vehicles with driving licenses, if this does not happen, those who violate these must be punished with harsh penalties rules.
Consciousness and responsibility when driving reduces accidents
However, it is also important, and this is not taught in any course, that whoever drives a car is responsible and know that the car can be a lethal weapon against third parties and against yourself if you do not respect the laws of transit.
It can be highly dangerous if one does not have the necessary skills and techniques that only one evaluation as they can enable, and on the other hand if he does not have a respectful attitude.
On the other hand, the concept of driving can also be abstract and can be used to designate those people who are in charge of something but that cannot be measured with their hands.
In this case, the driving example could be driving a institution, conduct a person's education, conduct a business, etc.
In all the examples we are talking about people who carry out an activity of guiding and carrying by the appropriate path to the entity or person in question so that it can function in the best way possible.
In some of these cases it is also necessary to have the learning useful, for example a university degree that tests the conditions of a person to be in charge of an institution, or the practical knowledge that allows one to run a business in the best way possible.
The word is also used to account for the way someone behaves. "My friend Marta always conducts herself with great discretion."
