Some people think the best way to improve road safety is to increase the minimum legal age for driving cars and motorcycles. Do you agree or disagree? (2015-02-12)

答案
Statistics show that young people under the age of 25 have by far the most accidents whilst driving cars and in particular motorcycles. These accidents have a huge cost in terras of injury, days off work, repairs to vehicles, and all too frequently death. Many young people need to be able to drive in order to get to work, so it is better to improve safety in other ways than have an outright ban. One important way to improve safety is better driver education and making the driving test more thorough. To some extent, allowing young people a provisional licence at 17 but not allowing them to take the test until 18 does increase the age, but also the time taken to learn. Compulsory lessons with a qualified instructor would perhaps help, as well as encouragement to learn motorway driving skills, not covered in the ’Pass Plus’ course that is still optional. Positive encouragement to take an advanced driving test, perhaps with concessions such as cheaper insurance, to encourage people would help. Schemes such as having to display a new driver sign, restriction on the number of passengers and night time driving all help to stop young people driving at a time when most accidents happen. This has an advantage of not restricting use of a vehicle to go to work, unless the person works shifts. More attention needs to be paid to the safety of the car itself. There are strict regulations governing tyres, brakes and so on, but the yearly tests only ensure that the car is roadworthy at the time of the test. The ability to do a basic safety check should be included in the driving test. Many cars, but not all, have airbags; this could be made a requirement in the same ways as seatbelts. Tougher penalties for driving whilst using a mobile phone and a campaign to make this unacceptable would help, but action needs to be taken against drivers who do all sorts other things at the wheel. The actual layout of roads and signing contribute to safety. There is evidence that too many signs confuse drivers of all ages, and road layout, especially at junctions, could be improved. Drink driving is a serious problem, although it appears that the message is getting through, and attitudes are changing. Perhaps the time has come for a total ban on any alcohol for drivers. Stiff penalties help enforce the rules. It would appear from statistics that parties of young people, especially if they have been drinking, can distract the driver with serious, even fatal, consequences. Restrictions on the number of passengers that a young driver can take, especially at night, can help.
