In many countries, teenagers under 18 years old can drive cars. Here arises the question: Is it the best way to improve road safety by raising the legal driving age? This question has been intensely discussed for years. The following are the supporters’ and opponents’ opinions. Read carefully the opinions from both sides and write your response in about 200 words, in which you should first summarize briefly the opinions from both sides and give your view on the issue.

YES
Teenage drivers are more likely to have collisions on the road, compared with drivers in other age groups. This is because young drivers, especially those who are in adolescence, tend to overestimate their driving skills and underestimate the dangers on the road.
Teenagers at 16 or 17 years old are usually impulsive. As such, they are easier to be distracted while driving a car, which may result in serious accidents. Therefore, there would be fewer accidents if the legal age for driving is raised to 18 years old.
Again, teenagers are reckless drivers since they often drive at a high speed and it is quite common for them to carry on competition on the highway.
NO
Firstly, in order to improve road safety, the government can set higher standards for testing a driver’s ability to drive and prolong the training time, since better prepared drivers and riders can reduce the number of accidents. It is not necessary to raise the age limit for driving.
Besides, a right attitude plays a vital role in ensuring road safety. For instance, eating, drinking or talking on the phone while driving should be prohibited as these activities might distract drivers’ attention and cause unexpected consequences.
Finally, for those unqualified drivers, who have serious crash records, punishment is a must.

答案
Raising the Legal Driving Age to Improve Road Safety There is no denying that raising the legal age for driving is an effective way to improve road safety, since teenage drivers tend to be more impetuous and are easily distracted. However, some people argue that it is not the best way to reduce traffic accidents and there are many more important measures that should be implemented, such as improving drivers’ safety awareness and enhancing the difficulty of getting a driving license. From my perspective, I agree with the latter opinion that there are more feasible methods to ensure road safety. In the first place, the authorities should launch a wide-ranging crackdown on dangerous driving and impose stiff penalties on drunk driving. In the second place, stringent regulations should be also enacted to prevent drivers from running a red light and speeding, both of which are the major causes of car accidents. Last but not least, people should pay more attention to fatigue driving because tiredness at the wheel can kill people as well. In short, driving a vehicle is a huge responsibility that must be taken seriously. Besides raising the legal age for driving, the government should enforce tougher laws and exercise stricter supervision to decrease traffic injuries.
