Some people believe that the ideal way to ensure road safety is to raise the minimum age for getting a
driving licence. I believe that this may help, but it is certainly not the best method, and odrer solutions
should be considered as well.
Proponents of the given statement say that an experienced and highly skillful driver usually needs long
training and practice. Therefore, drivers who are under the age of 18, in most cases, fail to h e sufficient
time to perfect their driving techniques. Moreover, teenage drivers are more likely to have ollisbns on the
road, compared to drivers in other age groups because they like to take risks to get the excitement of
driving. This is because young drivers, especially those who are in adolescence, tend to oy€restinEte their
driving abilities and underestimate the dangers on the road. Nevertheless, apart from controlliry the legal
age strictly, I bel; eve that other measures must be taken to prevent deaths and serious injurhs.
Firstly, the government should set higher standards for testing drivers' ability to drive and probng the
training time since better prepared drivers and riders can reduce the number of mishaps on roads. Besides,
eating, drinking cr talking on the phone while driving should be strictly prohibited as these ativities might
distract the driver's attention and cause some untoward consequences. Additionally, for those disqualified
drivers, who have caused some accidents, a retest should be mandatory.
Finally, the stricter age limitation for drivers is especially suitable for those senior drivers urho have a failing
eyesight or problems with night vision. Although senior drivers might be adept at drMrg a car, their
energy, eyesight and reaction time sometimes cannot make them cope with some unepecd traffic
conditions.
ln conclusion, although raising the lowest legal age can prevent some road mishaps, other consileratbns
are equally important in tackling the issue
