Topic of traffic accidents

The best way to reduce the number of traffic accidents is to make all young drivers complete a safe driving education course before being licensed to drive. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

It is true that the lack of safety awareness is one of the main factors contributing to the ever increasing traffic accidents. Forcing all young drivers to take safe driving lessons before issuing them licenses is one possible way to improve the situation.
Advocates of this believe that young adults nowadays tend to underestimate the importance of driving safely. Most of them violate traffic protocols because they think that not waiting for traffic lights and driving beyond speed limits would save them time and give them a sense of freedom. This can be considered as the main reason for the prevalence of careless induced road accidents. Therefore, if these young drivers were to be educated with proper traffic rules and to be more responsible for both their and other people’s lives, the traffic accidents caused by their ignorance could be significantly decreased.

However, there may be better means of tackling this problem. One of which is to reduce the number of personal vehicles on the road. By strictly regulating the traffic flow, the chance of two automobiles collide with each other could be diminished because drivers can have more space to react. This could be achieved by governments promoting the efficiency and the affordability of public transport, making it more attractive to young citizens than private cars. Improving the layout of cities could also help to change the status quo. With better road designs and arrangements being introduced, the possibility of traffic congestion can be substantially lowered. This in turn provides individuals with better driving experience. If every car owner can expect to reach their destination without running traffic lights and exceeding speed limits, it is highly likely for them to abide by the traffic rules, constituting a city free of traffic incidents.

In conclusion, making safe driving education mandatory for young drivers to attend is too narrow an approach. Utilising the combined power of safety education, better public transport and optimised city design, in my opinion, is a more effective method of creating a city of zero traffic casualty.
