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

.
