Obtaining a
car
 at
this
 point in time is becoming increasingly affordable. Some people believe that increasing the minimum legal
age
 in driving a vehicle, will

 reduce cases of road
accidents
. I strongly disagree that legal
age
 has anything to do with
car
accidents
.
This
 essay will explain why other measures are inherently better than other methods.
To begin
 with, it should not be surprising that a lot of people own a
car
.
Firstly
, knowing how to drive is a huge advantage, especially these days, since it is much more practical knowing how to drive and have a

's license.
For example
, having one is an edge in landing a job. It can

 for some people.
Moreover
,
accidents
 are happening not because of the
age
 of the
driver
, but
due to
 their behaviour.
Furthermore
, Even the most careful drivers can still be involved in an accident once they encounter a reckless
driver
 on the street.
Also
, one reason for these
accidents
, is that more cars on the road equals higher risks for mishaps. The government should impose

Furthermore

 tax.
As well as
 requiring

 owners to have their own garage before having the right to own a
car
 is another good proposition.
Additionally

 customers.
To conclude
, I believe that
age
 has nothing to do with the increasing cases of traffic
accidents
 but
due to
 the behaviour of the
driver
.
Thus
, it is crucial for the government to intervene and implement
