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 increasing the minimum legal age for driving? 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 ability 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 drivers’ 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 increase 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, retest is a must.

答案
Increasing the Minimum Legal Age for Driving to Improve Road Safety
There is no denying that increasing the minimum 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 and impose stiff prison sentences due to the high proportion of alcohol-related fatalities. 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 increasing the minimum legal age for driving, government should enforce tougher laws and exercise stricter supervision to decrease traffic injuries.
解析
本题讨论提高法定最低驾龄是否是增加道路安全的最好办法。在具体行文时,考生首先要概述正反双方的观点。然后给出自己的观点:虽然提高法定最低驾龄能够提高道路安全度,但还有其他更可行的方法,比如提高司机的安全意识以及提高驾照考试的难度。最后总结全文。
