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.

People have differing views with regard to the question of how to make our roads safer. In
my view, both punishments and a range of other measures can be used together to
promote better driving habits.
On the one hand, strict punishments can certainly help to encourage people to drive more
safely. Penalties for dangerous drivers can act as a deterrent, meaning that people avoid
repeating the same offence. There are various types of driving penalty, such as small fines,
licence suspension, driver awareness courses, and even prison sentences. The aim of these
punishments is to show dangerous drivers that their actions have negative consequences.
As a result, we would hope that drivers become more disciplined and alert, and that they
follow the rules more carefully.
On the other hand, I believe that safe driving can be promoted in several different ways that
do not punish drivers. Firstly, it is vitally important to educate people properly before they
start to drive, and this could be done in schools or even as part of an extended or more
difficult driving test. Secondly, more attention could be paid to safe road design. For
example, signs can be used to warn people, speed bumps and road bends can be added to
calm traffic, and speed cameras can help to deter people from driving too quickly. Finally,
governments or local councils could reduce road accidents by investing in better public
transport, which would mean that fewer people would need to travel by car.
In conclusion, while punishments can help to prevent bad driving, I believe that other road
safety measures should also be introduced.
