Raising the minimum age requirement for drivers is considered the most effective way to improve road safety. While this approach can potentially reduce the number of road accidents involving inexperienced and immature drivers, I maintain that imposing stricter punishments for traffic violations and upgrading public transportation would be more feasible to address the root causes of road crashes.
Undoubtedly, increasing the minimum legal age for vehicle drivers can decrease some road accidents. In reality, young drivers lacking experience and maturity are more likely to engage in reckless and dangerous driving behaviours. This might put 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 their vehicles more responsibly and cautiously. As a result, this contributes to a safer and more secure driving environment for all road users. For example, some countries, such as Japan and South Korea, where the minimum age for drivers is higher, have lower traffic accidents rates involving youngsters.
However, this measure does not fully address the underlying causes of traffic-based accidents. Moreover, these accidents can stem from various factors, including poor transport infrastructure and unreasonable penalties for breaking traffic laws, not solely from young commuters. Thus, enforcing harsh punishments for traffic violations, such as heavy fines and extended license suspensions, would serve as a deterrent to offenders from repeating violations. Further, the government should invest in improving public transportation, such as providing more bus and train services to encourage citizens to rely less on their own vehicles. Consequently, this could reduce the number of accidents on the roads. For example, the Mass Rapid Transit system in Singapore has significantly reduced traffic accidents by enforcing strict traffic laws and harsh penalties for traffic offenses, along with a well-established subway and train system.
In conclusion, although implementing a higher minimum age for drivers can improve road safety by reducing road accidents caused by immature drivers, introducing harsh penalties for traffic violations and improving public transport systems would deal with the underlying causes of these problems. I am also convinced that once these measures are implemented, there will be more people obeying these regulations, creating a safer driving environment for all commuters.
