Most people believe that stricter punishment should be given for traffic offences. To what extent do you agree?

There is a hot debate over whether stricter
punishment
should be given for breaking
traffic
rules or not. In my opinion, harsh
punishment
is not the solution in all the cases, it varies from
case
to
case
, as severity of
traffic
offence
and age of the
driver
should be considered before deciding the
punishment
.
First point
Suggestion
The first point
to consider here is the kind of
traffic
offence
, if it is life threatening
offence
Suggestion
offensively
like
hit
Suggestion
a hit
and run, and drunk and drive,
then
in that
case
punishment
like imprisonment with or without heavy fine is necessary. When they know the consequences of their careless actions, they would be more careful and serious while driving on
road
Suggestion
the road
.
Secondly
, if the
traffic
offence
is minor and does not have potential impact on anyone
else
Accept comma addition
else, then
then
a warning to
first
timers and
appropriate fine
Suggestion
appropriate fines
an appropriate fine
on multiple occurrence should be given.
For instance
, if rules like speeding, not wearing seatbelt and parking in no parking zone
are broken
Suggestion
is broken, then
is broken then
then
ticket with a fine should be charged.
Furthermore
, if the same incident happens again and
again
Accept comma addition
again, then
then
driving license
driver
should be revoked for a week or so.
This
would result in decrease in
such
incidents.
In addition
to the above two points, the other major thing to consider is the age of the
driver
. If
driver
Suggestion
the driver
a driver
is young or teenage
then
the government should make a rule of attending Defensive Driving Classes mandatory, which will help the young drivers to learn about the importance of adhering to
traffic
rules on
road
Suggestion
the road
.
For example
, young people are more addictive to phone, they do text and call while driving more often. These classes will teach them about the consequence of all
such
activities and help them in becoming
good
Suggestion
a good driver
driver
. From what
have been discussed
Suggestion
has been discussed
in
above points
Suggestion
the above points
, in conclusion, having stricter
punishment
for all
traffic
offences is not necessary. Each
case
should be treated differently based upon the kind of incident and age of
driver
.
