OE for reference:

Overview:
The conclusion of the argument is, "The vision test for obtaining a driver's license should not be limited to measuring the adequacy of vision in daylight conditions." This conclusion is supported by information that suggests that people with adequate daylight vision can have vision that is inadequate for safe night driving and by information that stresses the importance of drivers' having adequate night vision.

The Correct Answer:

A The argument explicitly concludes that the vision test for a driver's license should not be limited to testing vision in daylight conditions. The support for this conclusion strongly suggests that adequate night vision is very important for safe driving and that current vision testing practices do too little to ensure that drivers have adequate night vision. It is therefore fair to say that the main point of the argument is that the vision test for obtaining a driver's license should also measure the adequacy of vision in night conditions.

The Incorrect Answer Choices:

B The argument seems to take for granted that the current driver's license vision test does reduce the problem of drivers with inadequate vision. But the argument focuses on the drawbacks of not testing night vision, not on the benefits of testing daylight vision. Thus, (B) is not a point the argument is trying to establish.

C, E The argument explicitly states that many people whose daylight vision is adequate have night vision that is inadequate for safe night driving. Its concern is that the current vision test fails to screen for these cases. But both (C) and (E) are about drivers whose vision is adequately tested by the current vision test, so neither (C) nor (E) presents a point that concerns the argument.

D All that concerns the argument is that inadequate vision plays some role in the majority of car accidents that occur at night. It makes no effort to establish that inadequate vision is the primary factor. So (D) is not the main point of the argument.
