Key concepts in this essay

causation versus correlation in safety measures
effectiveness of regulatory interventions
cost-benefit of frequent testing schemes
multifactorial nature of road safety

Pitfalls the model essay avoids

Confusing correlation with causation (yearly tests don't prove they prevent accidents)
Providing only one side (safety benefits) without discussing costs, logistics, or whether testing is the actual cause of safer driving
Ignoring other major accident factors (vehicle maintenance, road conditions, fatigue laws)
