There is an ongoing debate about road safety. Some people argue that increasing the minimum age for driving will reduce some risks, and others think that there are better solutions to improve road safety. While increasing the minimum age for driving cars may reduce the risk of accidents on road, however, it is not a comprehensive solution.
On the one hand, there are many car accidents on road, and people think that it is because of young drivers. Young drivers are often inexprerienced and more likely to take risks. Teenagers may not fully undestand the consequences of danger on roads and they usually make mistakes under pressure. For example, in some countries where driving age 21, accident rates are lower comparing with other countries with minimum aged drivers. The young generation is lack of maturity and experience. Therefore, maximizing driving age aid to reduce accidents on roads.
On the other hand, age is not the only factor- there are more effective and fairer methods. Governments should provide strict driving tests and organising training courses for new drivers. Making the driving tests more difficult would ensure only experienced drivers are allowed on roads. Additionally, ongoing trainning courses can evaluate driving skills of drivers and they should re-tested again in a few years, which helps to improve their driving skills. For instance, Scandinavian countries have difficult driver training programs and lower rates of accidents on roads. As a result, with experienced and profeciency drivers the accident rates on roads will be moderately decreased.
In conclusion, some people think that minimizing driving age can help to reduce risks on roads, however, I believe that using other effective methods, such as difficult driving tests and traing programmes for drivers is better way to improve road safety.
