The document argues that all citizens should be required to be age 21 and pass a driving course before being issued a license. This is because 65% of truck accidents in Bangladesh each year are due to lack of driving education. Young drivers especially tend to speed, disregard rules and overestimate their abilities due to lack of experience with hazard perception. The document provides Canada as an example that requires drivers to be 16, pass a knowledge test, then a basic road test after one year and a proper road test after two years. Completing all these steps takes three years. While some may argue age and informal learning are sufficient, the document refutes this by saying mental development is needed to value life and know traffic laws and regulations.

All citizens should required to be the age of 21 and
pass driving course before issuing a driving license.

Knowledge of using road:
 Abide by the rules and regulations
 Assure the people’s safety
 Know road manners.

4. Example

5. Another Reasons :::
Change in Attitude of young drivers:
 Over-speeding
 less respect to the rules and regulations
 tend to overestimate their ability to drive
 lack of experience causes deficiencies in hazard
perception

In Canada, anybody who wants a driving license has to
be–
 at least 16 years of age
 pass knowledge test
 pass basic road test after one year of knowledge test
 pass proper road test after two years of basic road
test.
Then driving license will be awarded
Successful completion of all of those steps basically takes 3 years

7. Counter Arguments :::
 Age is not factor for driving
 One can learn driving from anyone,what is the
use of driving education course?

8. Refutation :::
 Mental development is necessary to know the
value of anyone’s life.
