| Underage driving is not safe, i.e., below 18 years of age. We should follow the traffic rules. Write an article, in about 100-120 words, bringing out the risks involved. |
Answer:
Risks of Underage Driving
Underage driving is just not safe and most risky. Traffic rules should be adhered to and underage driving should be completely deterred. Teenage drivers do a greater proportion of their driving in risky conditions. In particular, they drive more frequently at night and with multiple passengers. Both of these substantially increase the likelihood of a crash. Moreover, driving risks that are found to be more common among underage drivers include excessive speeding, for the thrill and using a mobile phone while driving, thus violating traffic rules.
There is a clear need for serious intervention targeting underage driving. Programmes need to move beyond the awareness education to a combination of strong graduated driver licencing programmes and police enforcement.
