Every month hundreds of people die in road accidents, most of which are younger teens. In most of the countries, early age driving is banned but instead of legal documents, most of the teenagers drive vehicles. Many people think that increasing age-limit and decreasing elderly age is one solution but it is just a myth.
Increasing age limit would not prevent car accidents, as many legal license holders can also bump cars, the fact that matters is experience of driving, and focus on road. As teenagers reach on commence of adulthood, entice to drive increase as they want to become more independent at that time. Moreover, owning a vehicle become their first choice due to friends owning one. If we increase the age limit for obtain driving license, then they would not mind if they have license or not to drive which will lead to even more accidents and deaths. However instead of increasing age-limit, test should be be updated so that only true driving skill holder can get license. Moreover, decreasing elderly age limit can be helpful in decreasing road clashes, because in old age cognitive and coordination abilities might decrease which can lead to deviation of focus from driving and ultimately will result into an accident.
To nail the coffin, I would like to say that increasing age limit could not stop younger one’s to drive, but instead increasing test difficulty could be one option, but decreasing old age driving limit might significantly help in reducing bumping of vehicles and deaths.
