Some people believe that stricter punishment should be given for traffic offences. To what extent do you agree?

It is often believed that
punishment
 for
traffic
 offences should be taken more seriously and I completely agree with
this
 view for two major reasons.
Firstly
, when sanctions are lenient, people will flout the laws and
secondly
, disobedience of
traffic
 rules
may led
Suggestion
may lead
 to grave consequences
such
 as death and as
such
, it should not be taken lightly. I will expatiate on these two reasons in the paragraphs below.
To begin
, it is important for authorities to adhere totally to the
punishment
 that has been deemed fit for flouting of any
traffic
 law or else, drivers will break these laws without
baiting
(baseball) the batter's attempt to get on base
batting
 an eye lid because they know they will either get away with little or no
punishment
 at all. To Illustrate, where I reside on the mainland, police officers are quick to let
traffic
 law breakers go after they plead for forgiveness and the resultant effect is incessant disobedience of
traffic
 light and illegal turns in that locality. Another reason why
perpetuators
someone who perpetrates wrongdoing
perpetrators
 of
traffic
 crimes should be given maximum
punishment
 is that most
traffic
 law offences
may led
Suggestion
may lead
 to serious damages to lives and properties through car
collusions
(physics) a brief event in which two or more bodies come together
collisions
 and knocking down of pedestrians. A good illustration is the famous vehicle accident that occurred on
Third
 Mainland bridge when some private cars decided to do one-way on the bridge due to
traffic
 congestion on their side of the road and
as a result
 there was a collusion of cars and may lives and properties were lost. As if that was not enough, a fight erupted among the locals and there was a three-day unrest in that vicinity. In conclusion, it is obvious that if
traffic
 laws are treated with laxity, the results will be unpalatable and dangerous for the society.
