Difficulty—

Instead of blaming an automobile accident on driver error, insurance companies should first try to figure out why the error was made by analyzing flaws in road design, automobile designs and in criteria to determine eligibility for a driver's license. Only then will the insurance companies be able to effectively issue guidelines to prevent future accidents, instead of merely punishing the incidental driver.

Which of the following is a presupposition of the argument above?

(A) Driver error is not a significant factor in most automobile accidents.
(B) Automobile manufacturers should be the agents who investigate automobile accidents and not insurance companies.
(C) Stricter government regulation of the automobile and highway construction industries would make automobile travel safer.
(D) Investigation of automobile accidents should contribute to the prevention of future accidents.
(E) Most drivers who make errors in driving repeat those errors unless they are retrained.

Option A - INCORRECT.
This option is totally in support of one party ''DRIVER'' without presuming the Drive's error to be a significant factor in most automobile accidents. This claim is wrong.

Option B - INCORRECT.
This option is also true but its out of contest with the argument at hand. Automobile manufacturers should be the agents who investigate automobile accidents, because they would be able to trace if the accident is caused by mechanical disorder or human misplacement which the insurance companies may find it difficult to notice because it is not their field to detect mechanical faults.

Option C - INCORRECT.
This option is also a very good advice for the government to look into but it fails to address the main issue in the argument. A Stricter government regulation of the automobile and highway construction industries would make automobile travel safer because they know they will be paying a high tax if the faults is caused by the reckless driver.

Option D - INCORRECT.
The Investigation of automobile accidents should contribute to the prevention of future accidents only if there was a thorough investigation carried out by the necessary authority without restriction or constraints which will cause an noneffective investigation.

Option E - CORRECT.
This option has given a key presumption to the argument. However, subsequent investigation on cases related to Automobile accident would have proven that most drivers who make errors in driving repeat those errors because they were not retrained on how to avoid the occurrence of the previous incident and also on they were not lectured on what to do to refrain such incident when it is about to occur or how to avail it during occurrence and after occurrence.
