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
