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?

According to some people, raising the legal driving

age

is the most effective solution to keep our roads safe. I completely disagree with

this

point of view and through

this

essay I will present my argument and

also

suggest some more effective alternatives. Increasing the minimum driving

age

is not an ideal solution.

This

is due to the fact that it doesn’t guarantee an increase in driving skills. Specifically, raising the driving

age

does not matter if there isn’t something in the social infrastructure that provides the new driver with experience.

For example

, even someone who gets behind the wheel at

age

25 without any experience will still find it as difficult as an 18-year-old does during driving sessions. In my opinion, the government should focus on these following alternatives to ensure road traffic safety. An effective way is to impose a more severe punishment. As an example, people who commit driving offences should be required to pay

heavier

Suggestion

heavy

fines or have their driver license be taken away.

This

makes commuters more likely to respect the law, and traffic accidents can be limited. Another great solution is to encourage people to use public transport rather than private vehicles, which will reduce the chances of traffic accidents.

This

can be done by reducing the price and increasing the frequency of buses to make it more convenient for commuters. In conclusion, the

afforementioned

being the one previously mentioned or spoken of

aforementioned

solutions would be a more viable option to ensure road safety in lieu of increasing the legal

age

for driving.
