Road safety Hi there! Some people think that strict punishments for driving offences are the key to reducing traffic accidents. Others, however, believe that other measures would be more effective in improving road safety. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion. Traffic road accidents are really improtant issue that needs to be paid attention by governments. Although not everyone has a car, this problem is touching all people and governments because safety is the main worth in modern society. Some Europen countries have already had quite strict punishments for driving. These measures showed successful results in deacreasing road accidents. I'm sure that their experience might be useful for many countries which still have high-level of road accidents. I guess that it's one of necessary measures that should be rethought by every government considering current conditions in their country particulary. It might be the main solution for some countries already having quite low-level of road accidents, but other countries still having high-level should also accept additional extra measures to approach the solution of this problem. Some people believe that governments should accept other more effective measures. I agree with them because it's more important that everyone has traffic road culture and realizes that driving is very dangerous. The main thing that everyone should follow is to be a responsible driver or pedestrian because it can save your own life and people's ones. In my opinion, strict punishments for driving is an necessary measure. Looking at the successful experience in some European countries, which managed to solve the problem of high-level of road accidents, we can say that this measure is quite effective. But I guess that it will work well if it's not the only measure and governments accept others considering current situations in their countries and understanding exactly what ones they need.
