Sample Answer:
Nowadays, traffic accidents have become a menace to many countries. Some governments urge that all young drivers must be trained before a driving license is issued to them. For several reasons, I completely agree that all young drivers must attend a driving education course in order to reduce traffic accidents and traffic jams.
It is widely admitted that most of the traffic accidents are caused by untrained drivers. For example, in my country, most of the drivers do not know how to drive well because they lack the knowledge of driving. Consequently, a lot of traffic accidents occur on a periodic basis. Therefore, it is the government’s sole responsibility to train those drivers in order to prevent such accidents.
There is another reason why young drivers must complete a driving education course. It is taken for granted that traffic jams are, to some extent, caused by the untrained young drivers. For example, my friend did not attend a driving education course. He always causes traffic jams because he never knows the rules of a good driving. Therefore, he mustn’t drive unless he is taught and trained properly.
The statistics show that the numbers of accidents occur on the road are mostly due to the lack of proper driving training, reckless driving and violation of traffic rules. With proper training, the young drivers can be turned into cautious drivers and that would help them drive safely. This will, in turn, reduce the road accident.
To sum up, the officials mustn’t issue a driving license unless the driver is fully aware of the rules of driving. Doing so, we can avoid traffic accidents and traffic jams at large.
