Some people think that the best way to increase road safety is to increase the minimum legal age for driving cars or riding motorbikes. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Some people contend that the most appropriate method to rise the safeness on roads is restrict the lowest

age

by law to

drive

vehicles

such

as cars, whereas others argue that there is another efficient way to increase the security on the roads. While I accept that increasing the minimum

age

for people to

drive

cars to some extent, I believe that there are other beneficial ways to reduce traffic accidents for road safety. On the one hand, I agree with the idea that raising the lowest legal

age

is the best approach to decline transportation accidents for some reasons. The young drivers are likely to

drive

cars with high speeds.

For example

, in Japan, people can get

driver

licenses when they are over 18 years old, 18 years old drivers tend to

drive

with so high speeds and their drivings are so dangerous.

Thus

, if they cannot

drive

cars because of the new law in terms of the minimum driving

age

, the roads will be safer.

On the other hand

, I am convinced that away from restricting the driving minimum

age

, there are several more efficient ways for road safety. The chief method lies in reducing elderly drivers to reduce transportation accidents.

For instance

, in Japan, the most reason why traffic accidents happen is old

age

drivers. Another significant way is to raise the difficulty of exams to obtain

driver

licenses to decrease traffic accidents.

For example

, Japanese people can take a

driver

license for only 2 weeks, including paper tests and actual driving tests, and

then

about 95 % citizens have it. If these tests become more complex, the population having

driver

licenses will decline and

also

the restricted population will have better

driver

skills;

as a result

, road safety will increase. In conclusion, in fact, I agree that increasing the minimum

age

to get

driver

licenses is one efficient approach due to above reasons to some extent.

However

, personally, I believe that reducing old

driver

’s population and increasing the difficulty of

driver

’s license exams are more beneficial methodology to reduce transportation accidents.
