Better driver education for better driving habits is more effective than heavier punishments for driving offenses. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Roadside accidents are one of the leading causes of mortality for young adults. For

this

reason, government intervention is important to keep the roads safe, usually done by punishing reckless

drivers

and using them as an example to deter others.

However

Linking Words

, a minority of

drivers

believe that the solution is better

education

Use synonyms

rather than heavier punishments. In my opinion, I disagree with

this

Linking Words

and believe punishment is the most effective way of reducing driving

offences

Use synonyms

.

Firstly

Linking Words

, the majority of

offences

Use synonyms

are committed not because of a lack of

education

Use synonyms

, but rather due to careless behaviour and no respect for others on the road.

For example

Linking Words

, a reckless teenager driving quickly in an urban area is not because of a lack of

education

Use synonyms

, as he knows

this

Linking Words

is wrong, but rather a lack of respect and fear.

Therefore

Linking Words

, better

education

Use synonyms

would be useless in

this

Linking Words

scenario.

Moreover

Linking Words

, heavy fines and even a long-term driving ban would make him think twice before committing a similar offence,

thus

Linking Words

acting as a deterrent. On the flip side, better

education

could work by teaching new

drivers

better car control and spatial awareness.

For example

Linking Words

, Finland has a very tough driving exam, and most Finish

drivers

Use synonyms

go through a gruelling driving course to get their driving license. For

this

Linking Words

reason, Finish

drivers

Use synonyms

are some of the best in the world.

This

Linking Words

would mean that they are better equipt to handle a car and less likely to accidentally put others' lives in danger.

However

Linking Words

,

this

Linking Words

still does not solve the issue of dangerous

drivers

Use synonyms

exceeding the speed limit, as it only trains them to be faster. In conclusion, better driver training can help reduce some driving

offences

Use synonyms

, but it doesn't deal with the problem directly. Punishment is the best solution as it adds a fear aspect to committing

such

Linking Words

offences

Use synonyms

and will likely stop them from doing it. For

this

Linking Words

reason, I think heavier punishments are the way to go.
