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.

In

this

burgeoning world, the number of accidents is increasing with the growth of the population. Some people believe that accidents can be reduced by giving strict punishments while others suggest the awareness of pathway safety rules for better behaviour while driving. In

this

essay, I will discuss both views and suggest why I strongly feel that alternative

measures

can give better results.

To begin

with, there should be the right level of strictness of punishment as per the offence committed on the lane.

Therefore

it should not be repeated in the future. If a government will set to be lenient on

this

matter, there is a high probability of repeated mistakes.

For example

, In India, If a child is driving the bike without a license and commits an accident

then

his father will be sent to jail.

This

type of penalty will help in reducing the number of road tragedies. In contrary to the above point, harsh justice will not help, especially when people are not aware of the road signals and the safety

measures

. So educating them is the most important solution to improve the security of a highway.

For example

, the license is not issued in Europe until the driver does not clear the driving test. Following these kinds of

measures

are very helpful for any country to avoid tragedies. In nutshell, accidents are increasing due to the congestion and carelessness of the drivers which can be reduced with the help of strict punishments. But the alternative solutions of the increased safety

measures

and knowledge of traffic rules will help in lowering the count of road tragedies
