The only way to improve safety on our roads is to give much stricter punishments for driving offences. What extent do you agree or disagree?

Safety

management has been a hotly-debated topic in modern

roads

.Some of the individuals are of the opinion that the sole

way

to manage

safety

on our

roads

is to impose heavy penalties on the contravening driving laws.In my view,

this

is a grey area that not only need

punishment

but

also

education

. Punishments to various offences have proven to be effective.

Firstly

,if an individuals commit a traffic

offence

a penalty should be levelled against the perpetrator,

this

is done in order to deter others from committing the same

offence

.

Furthermore

,the person will not repeat the same

offence

again because of the

punishment

that accompanies the act.

Secondly

,whenever penalties are applied the main reason is because of the law.To illustrate

this

various traffic acts are enlisted in the constitution, and they are imposed in order to fulfil the constitutional mandate.

For instance

,the report released by the National

Road

Management indicated that 80% of the victims were found to be guilty of the

offence

when the laws were applied.

Thus

,

punishment

not only deters the members of the state but

also

it is within the constitution bill that they are to be employed. On other hand, another school of thought oppose the idea of

punishment

as the only

way

to

road

safety

.

First

of all,

education

is another

way

of improving

safety

on

roads

rather than

punishment

.If the motorists are taught some of the

safety

measures,they will not commit the

offence

,,

Moreover

education

is power.Another significant issue,the ruling government should build good

roads

and put the signs for the users to follow,

this

measure has been found to be effective.

For instance

, recent research on the danger signs on various black spots has reduced the

road

carnage by half.

Therefore

,

education

,quality

roads

and proper signs on

roads

are the other ways of improving

road

safety

. To sum up,

although

punishment

may seem to be the only

way

for safer measures,providing improved roadways and a learning platform for

road

users are imperative.

Additionally

, erecting a signpost is an equally important measure of

safety

precaution.
