The only way to improve road safety is to give much stricter punishments for driving offenses. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

It is sometimes believed that giving much more serious

punishments

for driving offences is the only method to enhance

road

safety

.

Although

stricter

punishments

have some benefits, I still firmly disagree with

this

statement for some reasons which will be explained in

this

essay. On the one hand, those who claim that imposing several serious

punishments

is the only approach to improve

road

safety

because of is highly deterrent.

This

means that these

punishments

include extremely administrative fines and criminal

punishments

that can threaten drivers and prevent them from committing offences

while

driving.

Therefore

, these

punishments

can reduce the proportion of

accidents

and enhance

road

safety

effectively.

For example

,

according to

Vietnamese laws, an individual can receive an extremely administrative fine if one uses a vehicle

while

drunk.

As a result

, the quantity of

traffic

reports showed that the percentage of

accidents

has been on a downward trend

after

this

law was released.

This

proves that these

punishments

have some positive effects on threatening drivers to avoid

accidents

as well as

improve

road

safety

.

On the other hand

, I argue that other vital ways to ensure roads safe are educational measures and improved

traffic

infrastructures.

Firstly

, raising resident awareness of obeying

traffic

regulations is

also

a way to enhance the

safety

of roads.

This

is because people can drive safely and avoid

accidents

when they comply with regulations correctly.

Secondly

, the governments should invest in transportation and

traffic

systems, which means that the quality of public vehicles should be improved

as well as

the

traffic

infrastructures

such

as

traffic

lights that should be utilized effectively and constructed more in many heavy-congestion routes.

Similarly

, many streets should be expanded or rebuilt to ensure

safety

for drivers. In conclusion, the

safety

road

is improved by not only strict

punishments

but

also

other methods including educational campaigns and

traffic

systems. For these reasons, I strongly disagree that serious

punishments

are the only approach to
