Over the past decade, there is a tremendous rise in the number of road accidents by cars and bikes. This trend has led to an ongoing debate on devising various ways to increase the road safety. Some people believe that by putting an age restriction on the car drivers and motorbike riders can reduce the road accidents. I disagree with the above mentioned statement and this essay will elaborate on my view further with reasons and relevant examples.
First, an increase of the minimum age cannot decrease the number of accidents because the people of a lower age bracket will still drive illegally in distant areas or at off- hours during the unavailability of traffic police. For example, the studies show that a maximum number of accidents by teenagers take place between 11 PM and 4 AM, when there is a limited surveillance by the traffic control. Therefore, an increase of the minimum legal cannot solve this problem.
Moreover, not only the young people, but the people of all age groups are responsible for a surge in the number of accidents. To illustrate, a recent article in Toronto Star indicated that a majority of accidents that took place, in 2018 were 'drink and drive' cases, with ages ranging from 14 years to 55 years. Therefore, instead of a change in the age restriction, various reasons causing accidents need to be identified and eradicated.
