Take the american youngsters, for instance. They are allowed to drive when they are only
16 years-old, which is an age when the human being can barely have a reliable sense of
responsability and awareness towards danger surrounding him. Therefore, a sixteen year-old
kid might still be irresponsible and rather imature and should not be allowed to drive a car.
On the other hand, it is true that beggining to drive at this age can be a reason for a faster
development of a persons mind and might turn him into a more independant human being.

Concerning to aged people, I truly believe that they should not be allowed to drive after 75
years-old. This is because when they are over 75 they start to lose vital functions of the brain,
and as a consequence their concentration is poorer. My grandfather is an example of this, as
I believe sometimes() he is not aware of road directions and even other cars. When he is
driving and I sit beside him, he asks me several times some directions that he used to know
accurately some years ago. But, on the other hand, it might be rather cruel to not allow aged
ones to drive. Like my grandfather, many old people find driving a quite pleasant activity.
Therefore, they can develop depressive thoughts if they cannot drive and get out of their
homes. Old people should find interest in life, rather then pursuing dull lifestyles.
But we have to be realistic, and despite this negative impact towards aged people, one
should keep them away from highways. Old people should only be allowed to drive whithin
local roads, and with a speed limit. They should also do frequent checkups to their sight and
listening capacities.
To sum up, I believe that some efforts have to be done in order to decrease the number of
traffic accidents. This can only be achievable through the reduction of the age limit for aged
drivers and the establishment of a global age of 18 years-old to get a driver licence

This is a good essay, the introduction, body and conclusion paragraphs are
well set out but you must concentrate on your spelling! Your grammar is
very good and the style is easy to follow, well done.
However, the statement asks whether you agree that the best way to
reduce the number of traffic accidents is to lower the age limit for
driving for the aged, not set at seventy-five years of age and raised for
younger drivers, not set globally at eighteen years of age.
Be very careful to focus on the topic.
