TASK 2: 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 views and give you own opinion.


Traffic accidents are being addressed as a pressing matter that affecting individuals lives. While some people point out that the strict penalties for traffic offenders are the key to increase road safety, others are of the opinion that other ways would be more efficient.

To control road users and prevent acts that may happen again, lawbreakers should be punished strictly. Punishing the persons at fault correctly will not only avoid backsliding but also be the warning for others. In particular, drunk drivers, people who use mobiles while driving, or do not wear helmets should have harsher penalties: for instance, paying high fines, suspending driver’s licenses, and impounding vehicles for a year.

However, many approaches would be effective for lessening traffic accidents and making the roads safer. To begin, the key role is an awareness. The drivers should notice that behind the wheel is not only their lives but also the lives of their family and other road users whom they need to be concerned about. Many educational courses are vital to raise their awareness about how important observing the traffic laws is. Besides, both the roads and infrastructures should be invested in. For example, the highways should have cameras to keep the drivers at a right speed, the roundabouts should have more lights to increase the visibility, and the roads should be separated for each user, like sidewalks and cycling paths.

From my point of view, everyone individually has their own responsibilities to make the road safer and protect their lives. I suppose that together with government, we should be more disciplined to leave the traffic accidents in restrictions.  (269 words)
