The issue of how to improve the safety on roads has always been the focus
of much attention.people come up with various solutions,but some emphasize that
the only feasible way is to give strict punishment to driving
offence.Personally,I share these people's point of view.
It is much lesser punishment that makes those hit-and-run drivers devoid of
the reverence for other people's life and close attention to road safety.——topic
sentence An authoritative traffic analysis reporting indicates that
approximately 80% of traffic accidents result from driving offence which occured
in large and medium cities in China during the second half of 2004, and the rest
of traffic accidents are due to bad weather and poor quality of automobile.
These statistics show that most automobile drivers lack the consciousness of
safe driving.They deserve severe legal punishment.Only after stricter punishment
is carried out can driving offence decrease.
In recent years,the Chinese government intensify efforts to publicize safe
driving and traffic rules by the mass media(i.e. TV and radio,
newspapers,magazines)。But that has very little effect on reducing driving
offence.Therefore,it's time to beat the dog before the lion! Only strict
punishment can play a role of a serious warning to those reckless drivers.
Take an Asian country Singapore for instance.Singapore is well-known for
its extremely stric trffic law worldwide.Those who break the traffic rules must
be severely punished.Without the supervision of traffic police,an
extraordinarily low rate of traffic accidents has been kept for years,which
totally attributes to local people's following the traffic rules.
Undoubtedly,improving the unsafe traffic situation is the most vital thing
these days.I firmly hold the view that giving strict punishment to driving
offence is the unique practicable solution.
