A34. The following appeared in a proposal from the sheriff of Adams County.
“This year the number of teenage drivers involved in traffic accidents here in Adams County has increased by 200 percent, and officers from the county sheriff’s department have cited a record high number of teenagers for violations of traffic laws. To deal with this increasingly serious problem, the now-optional driver’s education course at Adams County High School should become a required course for all students before their graduation. Furthermore, the board of education should purchase 10 new cars to provide all students in the classes with extensive on-the-road driving experience.”

1What is the exact meaning of "involved in the traffic accidents"? It is likely that the teenagers were innocent victims. If that is the case, then the proposed suggestion by the author is not very applicable and
valid.
2Likewise, the violation of traffic laws can not simply be resolved by the improvement of drivers' education either. There are many kinds of violations including the violations as pedestrians.
3Even for the teenage drivers' violation of traffic laws, there are some other choices other than the transfer of drives' education course from optional  course into required course. In fact, the author's suggestion is not very efficient compared with the stricter punishment according to the former experience and common sense.
