Some people think that the best way to improve road safety is to increase the minimum legal age for driving a car or motor bike To what extent do you agree or disagree

It is argued that increasing the minimum age requirement for drivers is the most effective measure to enhance the safety on the roads. While this approach can potentially reduce road accidents, I maintain that imposing stricter penalties for traffic violations and improving public transportation would be more feasible solutions to address the root causes of traffic accidents.
Undoubtedly, raising the minimum age for vehicle drivers can decrease the number of road accidents. In reality, young drivers who may lack experience and maturity are more likely to engage in dangerous and reckless driving behaviors, putting themselves and other commuters in danger. Requiring individuals to wait until they are older to obtain a formal driver’s license can encourage them to operate vehicles more responsibly and cautiously, which contributes to a safer driving environment. For example, countries like Japan and South Korea, where the minimum legal age for drivers is higher, have had lower rates of traffic accidents involving young drivers.
However, increasing the minimum age requirement for drivers does not fully address the underlying causes of road accidents. Moreover, it is critical to note that traffic accidents can stem from various factors, including careless driving behaviors or poor transport infrastructure, not solely from young drivers. Thus, stricter punishments for traffic offenses, such as heavy fines or longer license suspensions for repeat offenders, would serve as a more effective deterrent against careless driving behaviors. Additionally, the government should invest money in upgrading public transportation, including providing more bus and train services, which can encourage citizens to rely less on private vehicles, ultimately leading to fewer road accidents. The Mass Rapid Transit System in Singapore, for instance, has significantly reduced the number of private cars on the road by implementing strict laws and penalties for traffic offenses, along with developing a well-established subway and bus system.
In conclusion, although raising the minimum age for vehicle drivers can improve road safety by reducing accidents involving young people, it is vital to address the root causes of traffic accidents through stricter punishments for traffic offenses and upgrades to public transport would be ideal solutions. I am also convinced that once these measures are implemented, traffic commuters will obey these regulations, contributing to a safe driving environment for others.
