Now there is a growing awareness on traffic. A number of people argue whether annual driving test is urgently necessary in order to improve traffic security for societies. The regular driving test that has been conducted by the government may promote safe transportation, but it is expected that a more comprehensive approach should be considered to make it more effective.
To begin with, Several reasons will be explained in supporting the need of yearly evaluation for drivers. The first reason is the changes of government policy on traffic that requires the people to keep knowledgeable and updated, for example, the new lane assisting system. By taking the test, the drivers will get familiar with the latest rules related to traffic and transportation. In addition, their skills will remain maintained.
However, depending on solely on annual test may not unfold all the issues concerning road accidents. In other words, many accidents occur due to factors like reckless driving, distracted driving, and poor road conditions, which cannot be fully solved by simply retaking test. Such problems required more considerable action that should have been done by the government, for instance by implementing stricter penalties for dangerous driving behaviours, improving the road infrastructure, and promoting road safety education campaigns.
To conclude, while regular driver testing might help in improving road safety to some extent, it is not the only solution. I believe that a combination of annual testing, reenforcement of traffic laws, and better road conditions would be more effective in reducing accidents and ensuring safer road transport for everyone.
