Some people think that the best way to improve road safety is to increase the minimum legal age for driving a car or motor-bike. To what extend do you agree or disagree?

Road

safety

is the one important thing for human's life security. Some people think that the best way to shift

safety

levels is to raise the

age

of drivers. I strongly disagree with

this

statement and the following examples will be provided in order to support my point of view.

To begin

with, the most important reason is that most tragic

accidents

happen because of carelessness about how old the offenders are,

thus

increasing the minimum legal

age

for driving a car or motorbike will be useful.

For example

, according to the latest poll conducted by Bangkok University, it has been reported that 90% of all

accidents

in 2021 have been committed by middle-aged people who have been drunk.

Therefore

, raising the

age

of legal drivers is not the best way to develop

road

safety

, whereas promoting

road

safety

awareness is more important.

Secondly

, another significant reason why increasing the legal

age

of

road

users will not increase

safety

on the lane is unsafe conditions of the subway

such

as not enough lightning, not appropriate traffic signs or even deteriorated vehicles.

For instance

, in the recent news, it has been revealed that 70% of places that had

accidents

more than one time have unsecured conditions since they have not been maintained or fixed for a long time.

Additionally

,

this

refers to the facilities infrastructure of the nation

also

.

Thus

, the environment is the most important cause of

road

disasters. In conclusion, I strongly believe that increasing legal drivers will not improve

road

safety

, whereas increasing respective laws and improving roadway conditions are more than important to reduce car

accidents
