To improve road safety, there should be more severe punishment for drivers who break the rules. To what extent do you agree or disagree

#road #safety #punishment #drivers #rules
It is often thought that introducing more stringent punitive measures for reckless driving will facilitate an improvement in road safety. I completely agree with
this
 point of view because it deters the tendency to drive recklessly and
also
 discourages the temptation to drive under the influence of
alcohol
.
To begin
 with, severe punishment would help to discourage offenders who are likely to drive recklessly if there are no punitive laws in place. It is certainly true that when people are punished for the misdeeds, they tend not to repeat

 acts especially when

This
 singular action of introducing harsh punishments has made the state to have the safest roads in the country owing to a low number of traffic offenders.
Furthermore
, harsh consequences for drivers who violate the rules is an effective means of discouraging people from consuming

 before driving.

 predisposes them to hitting pedestrians or getting involved in road traffic crashes.
For example
, an online survey I came across linked a high level of pedestrian knock down as well as road accidents to indiscriminate
alcohol
 intake by drivers in Sub-

 Africa.
This
 has made many of these countries to enact laws that ban the use of

 among drivers.
Consequently

, recommend that government at all levels should promulgate laws in
this
 regard.

Include an introduction and conclusion

A conclusion is essential for IELTS writing task 2. It is more important than most people realise. You will be penalised for missing a conclusion in your IELTS essay.

The easiest paragraph to write in an essay is the conclusion paragraph. This is because the paragraph mostly contains information that has already been presented in the essay – it is just the repetition of some information written in the introduction paragraph and supporting paragraphs.

The conclusion paragraph only has 3 sentences:

  • Summary
  • Restatement of thesis
  • Prediction or recommendation

Example:

To summarize, a robotic teacher does not have the necessary disciple to properly give instructions to students and actually works to retard the ability of a student to comprehend new lessons. Therefore, it is clear that the idea of running a classroom completely by a machine cannot be supported. After thorough analysis on this subject, it is predicted that the adverse effects of the debate over technology-driven teaching will always be greater than the positive effects, and because of this, classroom teachers will never be substituted for technology.

Start your conclusion with a linking phrase. Here are some examples:

  • In conclusion
  • To conclude
  • To summarize
  • Finally
  • In a nutshell
  • In general
