The only way to ensure road safety is to give much stricter punishments on driving offences? To what extent do you agree?

It cannot be denied that

road

accidents invariably result from law violations, be it over-speeding or drunk driving just to mention a few.

Hence

, great stress should be laid on the enactment of tighter punishments in terms of non-custodial to corporal remedy, ranging from heavy fines, license suspension to imprisonments.

This

would act as a deterrent to prevent

participants, out of fear

legal consequences, from committing

a lack of politeness; a failure to show regard for others; wounding the feelings or others

offences

. Having said that, there are other remedies which the government can take into account in order to fully address

traffic

problems.

Firstly

, no matter how strict the penalties are, it is not uncommon to see offenders who persistently break

traffic

rules, like jumping the red lights, especially when there is no supervision from the law enforcers. In

such

cases, stringent regulations might be helpless,

thus

only when realizing the extreme gravity of irresponsible driving can these neglectful drivers would voluntarily turn into law-abiding

road

users.

That is

to say, the government should raise public awareness by carrying out

traffic

safety campaigns. A case in point is the success in affecting drivers’ bad

behaviors

of the Vietnamese government’ campaign in 2010, which publicized the horrendous images of

traffic

victims suffering from

In addition

, human’s wrongdoings are not entirely at fault in certain circumstances, but rather the low-quality condition of

road

design. It is

therefore

crucial for

road

engineers to focus on black spot regions in order to understand what factor causes the accidents and take suitable action to renovate and maintain the infrastructure there as well as plan better future designs. To summarize, implementation of
