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?

Some individuals opined that increasing the lawful

age

limit to drive vehicles and bikes would make roads to become safer. I completely disagree with

this

. While

this

might be a temporary measure to prevent

road

accidents

, I believe that exploring a more definitive long-term measure will be more effective. Governments increasing the legal

age

of registering for a

driver

's

license

would not help solve the burden of

road

traffic

accidents

for many reasons.

Firstly

, the

age

of a

driver

is not directly equal to their conduct as a

driver

. The generalized accepted

age

limit for driving in the world is already at the

age

of 18 years and being older does not mean they would drive safer,

also

there is no psychosocial study report stating that elderly people are less prone to having

accidents

on the

road

. So, an

age

limit increase for drivers is not an ideal solution to

traffic

problems. In fact,

for instance

, younger

age

groups have been found to be able to adapt more easily to new driving rules in any part of the world than the older groups.

Although

, governmental policies on starting

age

for legal driving might

a few

concerns,

however

, exploring other long-term options will be more logical. One is the enforcement of strict

driver

's licence training and procedures.

That is

, any individual that wants to get a

license

to drive must go through thorough training and ensure that they pass a written test before they are issued a

license

.

In addition

, renewal of

such

license

should come with repeated

traffic

rule exams.

This

will help ensure that all drivers are updated about

road

safety tips.

Also

, local authorities should put in place penalties for defaulting

traffic

rules,

such

as; exceeding speed limits and not observing

traffic

lights. Both measures will motorists and bikers to drive safely on the

road

.

For example

, the UK government has placed a minimum of 6 months ban on every

traffic

offender. In summary, a national policy on strict

driver

's licensing procurement and

traffic

penalties will be a more critical measure in mitigating

road

accidents

rather than a mere review of driving

age

limits.
