Thought the author puts forward a vivd and insightful description of how a reduction in the moped rentals can greatly reduce the road accidents on Balmer island, there are plenty of flaws and holes on which the argument is built upon. The author has used several statistics which are baseless and ambiguous.

Even if the fact is true one cannot say for sure that the people of the island won’t resort to other means of transportation to make up for the reduction in the number of mopeds which in turn might result in other forms of accidents on the island.
The author has used tried to convince the council by stating the facts and assumptions which are not upto the mark and require a lot of unstated conditions to be satisfied.

- "On Balmer Island, where mopeds serve as a popular form of transportation, the population increases to 100,000 during the summer months. To reduce the number of accidents involving mopeds and pedestrians, the town council of Balmer Island should limit 50
