Road accidents claim far too many lives.

What can governments and individuals do to

reduce this problem?

destroyed. In spite of these numbers that keep augmenting, many people still do not pay
attention to basic precautions.

One way to deal with this problem would be to toughen the sentences & fines passed on
defendants, regardless of how much damage they have caused. It is very common that ‘little’
transgressions, such as running a red light, are not even punished by the police or the Justice.
No one wants to spend time imprisoned, nor pay a high amount of money for having run a
red light. Hence, this solution would heavily discourage people to violate the Law.

Governments should also focus their attention to reduceon reducing the strong impact of Commented [PGF2]: WW: focus on + -ing

traffic regulations. The outcome of running this kind of campaigns might be very positive,
making more people understand why strong caution is necessary on the roads, and why not

Steps should also be taken so as to combat alcohol, by increasing the number of police
officers placed in road outposts and toughening the fines for driving drunk, for example. A
big portion of the casualties caused by road accidents are provoked by drunk drivers. When a
person is drunk, he has no consciousness of whatever can be happening around him. The
effect of this measure might be very positive, decreasing the number of people caught in
these conditions.

In conclusion, many ways of dealing with this issue exist. However, it all depends on how
much people are willing to cooperate: the more cooperation there is, the faster the issue
disappears. It is of vital importance to pay attention to this topic, because many lives are at
stake as a result of it.
