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

With the economy's development, there are more and more vehicles in
traffic
. Prosperous
traffic
makes travelling more convenient, but
on the other hand
, there are
also
many terrible
traffic
accidents. Some people think strict punishments for driving offences are necessary to reduce
traffic
accidents. It is true that people should take responsibility. But, in my opinion, not only do drivers need to be responsible, but the
government
also
needs to be active in
road
safety
.
This
essay will discuss ways to improve
road
safety
by punishing offenders and by proactive
government
intervention. Today, we have reached a consensus on many illegal and uncivilized driving methods. But many wrong driving behaviours have been repeatedly banned.
Such
as drunk driving and answering and calling on the highway. Dangerous behaviours can lead to serious consequences, and the driver should be responsible for them. Imposing severe penalties is one measure that could consider.
For instance
, in China, drunk driving is a strictly prohibited offence, and almost every Chinese knows it, so few people will openly defy it. China is,
therefore
, a country where drunk driving rarely occurs.
On the other hand
, punishment alone is not enough. The
government
should be active in
road
safety
.
For example
, the
government
needs to educate
traffic
offenders to obey the rules. Let them realize the serious consequences of illegal driving, and let them really learn and change spontaneously.
In addition
,
road
safety
can be controlled from the source, the
government
can strictly control the test standard for driver's licenses, and increase investment in
traffic
safety
facilities. The
government
's active effort will have a significant effect on improving
road
safety
. In conclusion, I think that the punishment of dangerous drivers has a positive effect, and the
government
should actively play a role in
road
safety
.
