Q. Some people think that the best way to improve road transport safety is to let the driver test each year. What extent do you agree or disagree?

These days, the number of traffic accidents around the world has increased exponentially just because of reckless driving. Consequently, there is a growing perception that road safety can only be improved by holding a driving test every year. Being a rational person, I also agree with this opinion, because I believe that this will help drivers familiarize themselves with the latest rules and regulations and test their physical ability to drive.

Among the arguments supporting my position is one concerning the importance of driver testing as a way to check whether drivers are aware of the updated traffic rules. In other words, the governments of every country are constantly trying to introduce new rules by charging old ones in order to improve road safety. Thus, if drivers could not know the latest laws, they would not be able to comply with these laws. Therefore, to ensure safety, drivers should be tested annually. As an example, an empirical study by the University of Oxford shows that 90% of drivers can drive correctly if they pass the annual driving test.

Another important rationale for why drivers should take the test every year is necessarily synonymous with testing their fitness. To be more precise, a person's health can deteriorate at any time up to the onset of certain diseases, such as cardiovascular disease, poor eyesight, etcetera. Thus, if a person could recognize his physical weakness by passing a driving test, it would certainly reduce the chance of accidents. For example, researchers worldwide have found that 35% of traffic accidents are due to drivers' heart failure while driving. Therefore, at least once a year it is necessary to check the physical condition by passing a driving test.

To conclude,  every year drivers must test their abilities, learn about new things and test their fitness.
