People should be at least 21 years old before they're allowed to drive a car. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement?

These days more and more
people
are opting to travel by
car
for a quick commute to their work or college.
This
has increased the cases of rash driving resulting in
road
accidents
. Will increasing the
age
of starting to drive a
car
have an effect on
road
mishaps? In my opinion,
although
increasing the
age
to start driving may reduce unfortunate
road
mishaps, many
people
will be negatively affected by
this
. A large number of
people
like to travel to college or places of work by
car
. Increasing the
age
limit
will directly affect these
people
as they will have difficulty finding public transport during common office hours. I,
for example
, prefer taking my personal
car
to the office, which helps me reach on time and allows me to avoid huge traffic as I can leave at my preferred time.
While
I do believe that increasing the
age
to drive a
car
might result in lesser
road
accidents
, the disadvantages of
this
outweigh the advantages. Increasing the
age
limit
will not necessarily reduce
accidents
as it is not the only cause for it. There are several other reasons why
accidents
may occur. Setting an
age
limit
will only adversely affect the students/teachers who have to travel almost daily to colleges/universities.
For example
, my sister has an early morning lecture scheduled so she cannot wait for public transport. The unplanned strikes of public transport
also
make it difficult for the
people
travelling daily.
This
only adds to the level of frustration of the
people
.
To sum up
, the increase in the
age
limit
to start driving will not only bring inconvenience to a large group of
people
, but it will
also
create discomfort and add to frustration for many
people
.

Use a variety of complex and simple sentences

You should use complex sentences in your writing, but it does not mean that you should try to make all of our sentences complex.

‘Complex’ sentences are not actually very complex; they are just two or more simple sentences put together. Putting them together makes the essay more coherent and cohesive.

Examples:

I really want to study but I’m too tired.

I wore a warm coat because the weather was cold.

If action is not taken soon on climate change, global warming will get worse.
