The only way to improve road safety is to give much stricter punishments on driving offenses. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
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 agree with the statement, but there are other methods that could also
be used to improve it as imposing a stricter penalty, in my opinion, is not the only way to ensure safety
on roads.
On the one hand, it is true that having a stricter punishment
and increasing the penalties for irresponsible drivers would reduce traffic accidents and improve road
safety
. For example
, it is a fact that using a mobile phone while driving a car is a dangerous act. However
, due to the light punishment
, many people still use the phone while driving. Should the authority change the punishment
into a heavier one, then
people will consider twice before they use the phone while driving. Besides
, violation of any traffic rule can lead to a severe accident and if the punishment
is made a stern, people would likely obey them.
On the other hand
, there is another method that the government could use in improving road
safety
besides
having a stricter punishment
. The government could make a campaign about safety
driving through various media which
would show the effect of careless driving. Accept comma addition
media, which
For instance
, the government could make a safety
video about road
safety
and upload it in social media since the message will be effectively spread in this
kind of media. As more people are watching these videos, it is hoped that drivers will have a clearer view of safety
driving.
In conclusion, to a certain extent, I agree that having a stricter punishment
would improve road
safety
. But I also
believe that it should also
be supported with other ways, and one of them is by giving audio-visual shows about safety
driving.Submitted by sarahasani1371 on
