Every country in the world has its own road rules, but many drivers don’t obey them. What do you think are the reasons for this? What can be done to solve this problem?

Road rules are intended for the smooth functioning of society; however, various drivers do not follow traffic rules despite every nation having its own rules. Thus, this essay will address the reasons behind this issue with solutions to overcome this trouble.

First, we witness the lack of enforcement of traffic rules by authorities. If there are no consequences for breaking the law, there is no incentive to obey the law. This lack of enforcement also creates a sense of anarchy on the roads, further discouraging people from following traffic rules. In addition to the lack of enforcement by authorities, there is also a general lack of awareness about traffic rules among the population. This is especially true in rural areas, where most people have never been exposed to formal education on traffic safety. As a result, they are simply not aware of the dangers that come with breaking traffic rules. 

This problem is insuppressible; however, can be restricted to a large extent by the implementation of stringent rules. One reliable way to overcome this menace is to announce strict punishments for lawbreakers. Undeniably, hard punishments may demotivate some drivers; however, they will act as a deterrent and hence, drivers will think twice before exploiting rules. Likewise, heavy financial penalties can curb this trouble to a significant extent since it will set an example for others. For instance, a couple in Iran was fined around five times more when they jumped a red light and met an accident. Therefore, these rules can educate people.

To conclude, the intensity of road accidents has increased in recent days since drivers are not completely aware of proper rules and regulations. As a result, the authorities must announce hefty fines and proper guidance about traffic rules.
