The reason behind applying traffic rules of government is to reduce the chance of causing accidents and improve the safety of people travelling on the road. Along with the rules, government also implement punishment for not obeying the rules. Many people think that the best way to improve road safety is by giving stricter punishment to careless drivers. To a certain point, I would partly agree with the statement, but there are other methods that could also be used to improve it as imposing a stricter penalty, beside, is not the only way to ensure safety on roads.
