雅思范文:禁止酒后驾车

The only way to reduce the rising number of road accidents is for a total ban on drinking while driving. Do you agree or disagree? Make other recommendations.

The discussion about whether or not the government should have a total ban on drinking while driving is a very controversal one. There are people on both sides of the argument who have different opinions.

Since speeding is the leading cause of accidents, and alcohol makes people less careful and more likely to speed, it makes sense to totally ban drinking while driving. In fact, lots of road accidents are caused by drinking alcohol, and alcohol did great damage to people’s health, especially people’s cerebellum. After drinking alcohol, the person cannot even walk normally, how can he drive a car in such a bad condition? Besides, in countries where it is illegal to drink and drive, the road death toll is far less than in countries which allow alcohol in the bloodstream while driving. Finally, the only persons against a total ban are the manufactures of alcoholic drinks and pub owners, and these two groups are political influential and wealthy. But in other words, other people disagree with them.

Many people, however, argue that it is wrong to make a total ban on drinking while driving. Tests proved that most car accidents occur as a result of speeding. Drivers still speed even when they have not been drinking alcohol. Targeting alcohol does not stop people speeding. For example, nowadays some young people want to have something exciting to do and just speeding with their cars on the road, it can also cause danger to others and even more dangerous than drinking while driving. Moreover, why only ban alnohol? There are many other drugs which impair one’s ability to drive. The complete ban of only one substance makes on sense.

In my opinion, it is necessary to ban on drinking while driving,and this will do good to not only other people but also the drinker himself. If we can keep on doing this, the road accidents will be decrease soon in the future.
