The number of cars is increasing every year. Streets and motorways are getting overcrowded and the air pollution is growing rapidly. Unfortunately, the number of road accidents seems to be increasing all the time, too! I personally think that something can be done to make our roads safer and the government is the major state body to help.
C
Firstly, it should introduce higher fines for drivers who break the law. This, for example, could make people think twice before speeding. Furthermore, the government should make laws against corruption stricter, as some people prefer not to take their driving tests, but to pay money and buy the driver's license without proper driving experience or skill. Apart from this, people could use their cars less, which would mean that there would be fewer accidents. Finally, pedestrians and cyclists can make the roads safer, too. To avoid accidents, people should be more careful when crossing roads, and cyclists should be more alert when riding in traffic.
B
On the other hand, it can be argued that whatever anyone does to make things on the roads better makes very little difference, since drivers still find ways to avoid the law. Most of them are also sure that they drive very well and they will never get into trouble on the road.
A
To sum up, I still think that it is impossible to leave the situation as it is. Everyone uses roads, so it is everyone's responsibility to improve road safety.
