These days, every time you turn on a tv or a flick of a newspaper, we can learn about the injured person due to road accidents. Some people believe that the best measures for enhancing the road safety is to make a legal age for getting a driving license higher limit for four and two wheelers. I completely disagree with this idea bad in this essay i will support my opinion with examples.
To start with the first point for setting a higher age limit for getting a license is not best way but setting a stricter rules and regulations for obtaining it will. When people who does not have proper knowledge of the process will likely learn to adapt. For instance, driving car fast not maintain the speed limit, phoning while on steering, etc. are the activities making it scarier and risker for themselves and others. In India a study conducted by The Aaj tak after the fines increased from 1000 to 1000 for overspeed the road accident decreased by 4% in a moth of July 2023.
Another reason is to increasing surveillance and checking on paper and conditions of vehicles. As far as these are improved the driver will get alert and try to avoid getting fines while following rules being cautious addition to these there will be less chance of accident occurrences and people running from the scene. Looking at the report conducted in Kathmandu by CNN, after installing cameras and checks on stop have decrease the rate of accidents in valley by 15% in a year which was previously 30% in 2022.
In conclusion, although many believe that increasing the age limit for getting a driving license will improve road safety but I believe going strict with rules and regulations and increasing surveillance and checking will help more in enforcing and maintaining.
