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

In the present

age

, much debate has sparked whether a larger driver’s license minimum

age

is the solution to safer roads, while others argue that

this

decision holds no effect in reducing traffic

accidents

. I, personally, do not agree and

thus

, in

this

essay shall argue in favour of the latter view.

Firstly

,

drivers

of all ages can become involved in

accidents

and often younger

drivers

follow the

rules

of the road more closely. Adolescent

drivers

, who lack practical experience and, in turn, rely on their theoretical knowledge, follow

rules

, sometimes to a fault, but the reality is that the prime cause of

accidents

is not lack of experience, but driver inattentiveness and disorderly following of

rules

. What can be seen is that experienced

drivers

are much more likely to pay less attention to happenings on the road and to bend the

rules

somewhat.

This

is why removing young

drivers

does not proportionally reduce the

amount

.

Secondly

, people are as responsible and as mature as they are needed to be.

For example

, if the minimum driving

age

were 30,

would be looked at as young and inexperienced. Every driver has to pass a test and if a person is too young or irresponsible to pass it,

then

they are unable to drive. A valid way to raise standards for

drivers

would be to make the test more difficult to pass

instead

of raising the minimum

age

, which wouldn’t necessarily achieve

this

goal.

This

is why

However

, not everyone should be able to drive and requirements do make roads safer. Every driver needs to have passed an examination to ensure that they can act

accordingly

on the road. People need to be
