    The document discusses two views on improving road safety: strict punishments for driving offenses versus other measures. It acknowledges that while punishments can encourage safer driving by deterring dangerous behavior, other non-punitive approaches may also be effective, such as better driver education, improved road design, and investment in public transportation to reduce traffic. In conclusion, the author believes both punishments and alternative safety measures should be used together to promote better driving habits.

    Road safety

    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, license 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.
