Some people think that the best way to improve road safety is by reducing the maximum speed limit on vehicles, others think there are other better ways. Discuss both sides and give your opinion.

In recent years, there has been an upsurge in vehicular movement globally. While it is argued by some that the security and safety of lives and properties lies in
reduction
of speed limits, others have a contrasting view. In my opinion, a
reduction
in speed limits of vehicular movement will have a great impact. On the one hand, it has been said that the safety of people lies in the
reduction
of speed limit and I agree. Nowadays, motorists are driving and racing with so much tenacity without taking others into consideration.
However
,
this
is more evident among teenagers of school age because they still exude in them a high level of youthful exuberance.
For instance
, in my teenage years,

I
lost a friend who chose to race with another friend of his despite being drunk. Looking at the positives of minimum speed limit,

as
limiting motorists' speed.
On the other hand
, some are of the school of thought that motorists who drives too fast should be heavily taxed. I disagree with
this
viewpoint because some are financially buoyant and
as a result
, they will continue putting lives at risk.
For example
, Justin Bieber has been known to make news headlines mainly
as a result
of his reckless driving.
Nevertheless
, I believe there should be a better punishment
such
as serving a jail term. In conclusion,
this
essay has opined to the thought that a
reduction
in speed limit should be carried out on cars as against all other opinions.
This
is of utmost importance especially when factoring lives of other commuters
