The growing number of cars on the road is the major factor for an increase in road accidents. Therefore, many people, as well as some politicians, propose their view that repetitive driving tests, and not just one test to get the license, should be i place. This essay outlines some advantages as well as disadvantages of the continuous testing process.
To commence with negative aspects of this process may unnecessarily force a burden on people. This is because they will have to prepare for the test, pay for it, and allocate time for the test in order to renew the licence. As a result the expense could discourage many drivers from taking the test, particularly if it is frequent. Moreover, it will cost money to the authority as well. Therefore, it may not solve the issue easily while both the drivers and the authority will be under the pressure.
Despite the ramifications of retesting method, road safety in a country is a major concern. Increasing vehicular movements and drivers’ recklessness are two primary reasons for accidents on the road. Drivers get outdated and more inept at new road rules and safety practices. For example, due to being distracted by phone or in a hurry the person driving car may not see traffic signals and road signs easily. As a result such drivers potentially hit other moving vehicles and people. That is why, repeat tests for driving, from time to time will definitely improve safety on roads.
In conclusion, regular driving tests can enhance road safety but the cost and inconvenience of conducting such tests regularly, along with the potential for over-reliance, must also be considered. Therefore, while the benefits of regular driving tests are significant, a balanced approach should be in place to tackle road accidents.
