Some people think that strict punishments for driving offences are the key to reducing traffic accidents. Others believe that other measures would be effective in improving road safety. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

In recent times, the

number

of

road

accidents is getting increased day by day and in spite of all efforts from government and local authorities, it is not slowing down at all. Some would argue that, drastic steps need to be taken against violators to reduce accidents, but others would suggest that there are

also

different ways

also

which are more important.

This

essay will discuss both views,

although

, I strongly opine with the idea of proponents.

To begin

with, often it is observed that, fear of being punished plays an important role to reduce the

number

of mis happenings on roads as it includes high amount penalty and sometimes jail sentencing with the size of the vehicle. To elaborate, if someone violates

traffic

rules and

road

safety guidelines, they need to pay a huge amount of fine within a specific period of time and failed to do so, a jail sentence with no bail shall be imposed. On the top of that, for the cases of serious violations, the vehicles need to be seized right away without caution and that can reduce the cases of

road

accidents.

For example

,

last

year in Delhi, with the revamped motor vehicles act, the

number

of

road

incidents is decreased by 35% which is very noticeable.

On the other hand

, some say that punishment is not enough because it is needed to make people educated more and more about

traffic

rules and government should

also

improve the current roadway conditions to improve

traffic

flow. If people really understand the implications of violations,

then

they should try to drive their vehicles within the speed limit and with more caution.

Furthermore

, in many cases it is observed that, very bad

road

conditions are often primary factors of our discussed topic and our local authorities should take care of that and improve. To conclude, there may be some important precautions, but most of the times, instilling fear of being punished is important to reduce

number

Suggestion

the number

of deaths and injuries in

road

. I would suggest that, transportation department should be more enthusiastic and set up more strict

traffic

speed checking system with the implementation of modern day technologies along with more stricter transportation act.
