The only way to improve safety of our roads is to give much stricter punishments for driving offences. What extent do you agree or disagree?

People have different views with regard to the question of how
to make
Suggestion
making
our roads safer. It is argued that harsher punishments should be imposed to ensure traffic
safety
. I completely concur with
this
view, but to consider
this
as the sole solution, from my point of view, it does not seem perfectly reasonable as there are a large number of other effective approaches that could
also
be taken to deal with
this
issue. There are several reasons why rule-breakers should be given stricter punishments,
for

example, tightening
the execution of punishment by increasing the fine amount for rule violations. It is said that the increasing number of
road
accidents is due to the lenient fine,
thus
, more money as fine would somehow deter reckless drivers, who often exceed the speed limit or use mobile phones while driving, from driving too quickly.
Moreover
, receiving severe sanctions when violating the law while driving,
such
as licence suspension or even
prison sentence

a prison sentence
prison sentences
for some who cause severe accidents, would promote driving habits. Apart from the practical benefits expressed above, I believe that many more other measures could be taken to improve the
safety
of our roads. It is true that rule violation is the chief culprit
to cause

causing
accidents,
however
, poor weather or geographical conditions
also
have a negative impact on
road
safety
. To tackle these issues, government should invest more in
road
reconstruction or provide extensive warning signs on high-risk routes.
Additionally
, public transport should
also
be improved, which would mean citizens no longer need to travel by their personal cars. In conclusion, It seems to me that severe punishments would be a viable measure,
however
, there are several other approaches to be taken to improve the
safety
of the
road
