The question of whether stricter punishments on driving offences should be given or nit has become a subject of increasing academic and societal debate. In contemporary discourse, this issue is frequently framed in terms of safety and how to improve it in our roads. From a critical analytical perspective, the position is adopted that giving stricter punishments could improve the safety in our roads. This essay will therefore argue that this stance is structurally and logically justified.
In my opinion, improving the safety in roads should be taken seriously from people inside and outside of vehicles and one way to improve it is to give stricter punishments. It is often argued, that young men tend to drive fast, ignoring the safety of others because in a lot of cases the punishment is not strict enough, making them ready to trade a small fine in exchange for fun. By giving stricter punishments, for example a suspension for driving for a certain time or heavy fines, it is most likely that people might think twice before driving dangerously.
Admittedly, it is argued that stricter punishments often have a counter-productive effect. From a critical perspective, this view is understandable, as it is often recognized in the society. However, this argument remains limited because the punishment is for improving safety and potentially saving people’s life.
In conclusion, it is evident that the argument in favour of the adopted position is logically and structurally substantiated. Even though it is not the only way to improve safety, but it could bring us one step forward in solving this problem.
