In the given argument the author disscuses about a situation in the Balmer island where the moped accidents have increased. He says that during the summer months the population of the island increase manifolds therefore resulting in increase in the accidents involving pedestrians and mopeds. Taking this into account, he says that the moped rental companies should decrease the number of moped rentals to avoid accidents in the same way as the neighbouring island of Seaville's town did.
The author says that the population of the Balmer island increases by 1,00,000 in summer months, which in turn, causes crowd and hustle around the area, thereby, leading to increase in accidents. However, the relavent point to ask here is that, what exactly the size of the population of the island is. That is , if the size of the population is 1 million or more then an increase in just 1,00,000 of the population cant be held the reason for the increase in accidents. On the other hand, if the island is scarcely populated, say the population size is around 1,00,000 then also the increase in accidents cant be only due to the increse in population. Moreover , we are not provided with the size of the area of the island. So the author hereby, considers a false anology of relating the rate of increase of accidents with that of the increase in population.
Another point ,which makes the argument very flimsy and tenuous is the absence of the information that weather the roads present in the island is in a good condition or dilapidating . As roads if not present in a good condition can be a cause of the accidents. There could be many drink and drive cases for which only the traffic police of the area could be held responsible for not keeping a strict check over the violation of the rules by the people. There should be warning signs of speed limits in various areas. The traffic police should take up some strict measures to avoid accidents and the municipal corporation should build new roads if the roads are present in a very bad condition.Also a srtict check should be kept over the moped rental companies that they provide their customers with vehicles which are in a good condition.
The author supports his argument by saying that the council of Seavilles town has succeeded in reducing the number of accidents in their neighbouring island by decreasing the number of moped rentals without providing the exact number to which they have reduced.
Moreover, we are unaware of the geographical factors of both the islands and it would not be wise to compare them.
Therefore, the argument made by the author is not strong as he has not chartered the complete data about the kind of accidents, the condition of the roads, the condition of the vehicles,the criteria osereved in driving ,the strictness in the driving rules and the geographical factors of the area. If he would have taken all these factors into account then only the absolute truth could be unfolded from the argument.
