The only way to improve the safety on our road is to have stricter punishment for driving offenders. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement?

In the present scenario, numerous masses drive carelessly on the

roads

. Some people opine that strict punishment is the only option to teach a lesson to these

drivers

.

However

, I disagree with

this

statement.

This

essay will discuss the reasons behind

this

issue and

also

provide some solutions to tackle

this

problem in the subsequent paragraphs in an efficacious way. In the first place, there are certain

accidents

that occur not because of

traffic

violations. To explain it

Therefore

While

we admit that more stringent punishment for

drivers

would be an effective measure to an extent, it should not be considered the only way towards

road

safety. In summary, there are certain situations where

drivers

are not responsible for a particular accident.

Hence

apart from punishing

drivers

with heavier penalties other effective measures should

also

be taken.
