Action films with exciting car chases are very popular among young people. Some people believe that these films cause more car accidents, because young drivers try to copy what they see. I partly agree with this opinion. In this essay, I will explain my view and suggest ways to help young people drive more safely.
On the one hand, I agree that action films may have some influence on young drivers. In these films, the heroes drive very fast, make dangerous turns and escape from the police without getting hurt. This can make young people think that dangerous driving is exciting and cool. Some young drivers may want to show off to their friends by driving fast or racing on the streets. For example, after the "Fast and Furious" films became popular, there were reports of illegal street racing in some cities.
On the other hand, I do not think that films are the main cause of bad driving. Most young people know that films are not real life, and millions of people watch action films without driving dangerously. Other factors are more important, such as lack of experience, drinking alcohol before driving, using mobile phones while driving and peer pressure from friends.
There are several ways to encourage young people to drive more safely. Firstly, driving tests should be more difficult, and new drivers should have more lessons before they get their licence. Secondly, there should be stricter rules for young drivers, such as limits on driving at night or carrying many passengers. Thirdly, the police should give heavy fines to drivers who speed or drink and drive. Finally, schools and the media can run campaigns to show young people the real results of dangerous driving.
In conclusion, action films may have a small influence on young drivers, but other factors are more important. Better training, stricter rules and education can help young people drive more safely.
