The number of road accidents is increasing every year, some
people
 believe the optimum way to reduce them is by decreasing the speed limits on automobiles, while, others think we should look for other solutions. Personally, I agree that there should be less speed
limit
 and huge fines should be paid if the drivers get caught speeding. Reducing the speed
limit
 will significantly make the roads safer for a number of reasons. One reason is the
car
 can not be fully controlled if the driver is driving so fast, if there is no speed
limit
 or the
limit
 is too high, it will be very tempting to drive fast,
therefore
, it might lead to dangerous accidents. Another reason is driving very fast can severely damage the machine of the
car
 which extremely hazardous because it might implode or cause accidents,
for example
, I read in the newspaper two days ago that a
car
 blasted when the driver was driving more than 200 KM/hour and he died after he was taken to the hospital.
On the other hand
, there are some ways to keep the roads safe, as some
people
 argue that if the roads are kept in a good condition by conducting maintenance every time there is a problem, and the governments can mandate a monthly check on every
car
 to ensure that the brake and the machine are in a good condition.
Moreover
, the road can be made bigger to accommodate more cars rather than reducing the speed
limit
. I believe that it is imperative that we make the speed limits as low as possible to save
people
 lives and
also
 the fine for speeding should be very high to deter drivers from driving so fast,
this
 way a lot of human lives could be saved. To conclude, though, some
people
 argue that it is not important to decrease the speed
limit
 of cars, other
people
 think it is helpful to improve the safety of our streets. I think governments should be very strict and punish
people
 who exceed the
limit
 of speeding.
