It is believed by some that people should take yearly driving test to ensure safety on the roads, while others do not agree. Discuss both sides and give your opinion.

With an ever-increasing concern about insuring the

safety

of the road, a proportion of the population has opined that the yearly driving tests will play an important role in

this

issue. The rest proportion of the population,

however

, has raised a counterargument that the regular tests for

drivers

will not work.

This

essay will evaluate both arguments and give a concluding viewpoint. On the one hand, advocates of the annual driving

test

argue that it will provide

drivers

with the opportunity to think about the importance of safe driving. Considering that most people are likely to do their best not to fail in any kind of examination, an annual

test

for

drivers

will be effective for maintaining

safety

on

roads

as

drivers

will study and try to memorize the driving rules repeatedly.

Secondly

,

while

preparing for the

test

,

drivers

could maximize their awareness regarding

safety

on the

roads

and

this

will lead to having safe driving habits which are essential for

drivers

.

On the other hand

, opponents of

this

idea contend that taking a driving examination every year will not be actually effective for the general public in encouraging them to drive safely. The primary reason is that most people would only concentrate on passing the

test

.

In other words

, once they passed

this

year’s exam successfully, they are likely to ignore the importance of safe driving until the next exam and drive dangerously.

In addition

,

drivers

are not the only factor in ensuring

safety

on the road.

This

means that pedestrians’ behaviour on the street and maintaining road

safety

facilities properly are

also

crucial factors for keeping

roads

safe. In conclusion, it seems that annual driving tests can be efficient for

safety

on the

roads

.

Nevertheless

, I believe that other measures should be implemented for long-term effectiveness.
