Question

Evaluate the argument made in “ better training for new drivers”. Does the author provide sufficient relevant evidence to support his claim? Explain why or why not.

Answer 1

Answer:

In the article 'Better training for new drivers' the author claims that if better training is provided to drivers, then the chances of accidents can be reduced overall.

In its counterpart, some people believe that young drivers should be able to drive as soon as possible and not much of their time should be wasted on driving teaching.

The author provides sufficient evidences for his claim by providing statistics of death and accident rates of teenagers. He also provides statistics in which he explains that about 70% of the teenagers face severe accidental injuries because they do not wear seat belt. With the help of statistics, he also explains that about 27% of the teenagers drive even when they have consumed alcohol and face accidents.

All his evidences are enough to support his claim.
