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

People
have different points of view how
governments
should do to improve
road
safety.
This
essay discusses both sides of
this
argument, and I will give my own perspective, which is that
governments
should pay more attention to making punishments more serious. There are some practical ways to make
road
safety better. The best approach is to raise the criteria for getting vehicle licenses. More rigorous vehicle lessons the public learn higher driving skills the public have.
For example
,
people
who want to get vehicle licenses in China need to spend almost a half year learning driving skills and
traffic
laws in the class. After finishing the class, they need to practice for about one month before they have a test.
In addition
,
governments
can lower the price of taking public transportation so that encourage the public to take it.
On the other hand
, it is
also
possible to make the opposing case.
Firstly
,
governments
should raise the price of fines because most
people
are afraid of paying bills. It is the most direct way can affect the public’s diving style.
Secondly
, delinquents should take transportation-related courses before they drive again. Every time drivers who violating
traffic
laws, they should cost their spare time learning driving lessons.
Finally
, directing
traffic
on the
road
is
also
a deterrent method to punish delinquents.
For example
,
people
who drive across the
road
when the
traffic
light is red. They should spend their holidays directing
traffic
for the public. In conclusion, I believe that both sides have merits. On balance, it is my opinion that
governments
should make punishments more serious in order to improve
road
safety effectively.
