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?

In many places, people think that increasing the legal
age
of drivers is the best way to improve
road
safety.
However
, legal
age
maximization may help to some extent, and I feel that some other measures could be much more effective. The
first
reason why the
age
extension for drivers is not the best solution is the stringent laws. What do I mean by
that is
when there are strict laws for everyone, regardless of
age
barrier, people might be serious in that case.
For example
, in many countries, there are speed cameras on different roads, and huge fines imposed on the offenders even could be a suspension of the legal license.
Although
some might argue that young people are less mature and
hence
highly likely to break the traffic law, I would counter
this
by saying that when the strict rules are there, it is the same for everyone and as long as people are getting
punishment
Suggestion
punished
, they will be serious
next
time. It is,
therefore
, not surprising to claim that
age
barrier alone is not the best way to avoid accidents. Another option could be to increase public transportation availability. When there is
more cheap
Suggestion
cheaper
and affordable public
transport
, people will go for public
transport
rather than a private vehicle. By doing
this
, fewer vehicles will be on the
road
and
hence
a safe
road
for all.
For instance
, in many
megacities
already public buses are cheap to afford in the city circle to avoid accidents. If public
transport
is not available, people prone to go for a private vehicle and more chances for accidents. In conclusion, not only is stricter laws help to increase
road
safety but
also
public
transport
make
Suggestion
makes
the
road
safer for everyone.
Therefore
, despite the fact that others feel that
age
restriction is the best solution to avoid accidents, I feel that other measures are more important.
