Every country in the world has its road rules, but many drivers don’t obey them. Why is this happening? What can be done to solve this problem?
There are certain sets of typical and common traffic rules that exist all over the world to ensure safety of road users, but many are found disobeying them, this essay will discuss the same and also suggest some ways to surmount such a challenge.
To begin with, the most prominent reason why motorists violate road rules is the slackness exercised by law enforcement agencies and those who set rules, they give people the concession to break them, sometimes because of the lack of good road infrastructure; absence of appropriate strength and equipment to monitor and regulate, be it the traffic officers or any device associated cameras to capture the law breaking incidents. In many cases, even if one is caught red-handed, the offenders are let off in lieu of gratification money, which emboldens such drivers, and persuades them to commit such infringements again and again.
However, although there is not panacea available to resolve typical challenges faced and bring down incidence of breach of traffic laws, certain ways can be adopted to ease up the situation: investing more on infrastructure, traffic cameras, auto-generated and advanced systems for fines, instant accident detection alarms, and so on can help. Similarly, conducting regular car checks at check posts to make sure no driver escapes a pending fine - when one has to pay out of his own pocket they will always be more conscious of their own actions. Additionally, deploying more traffic management officers in places where there is lack of technology, and exercising strictness can also help.
To summarize, it is true that motorists worldover tend to disobey, because of the laxity exercised by the government agencies, but a little stringent monitoring can go a long way in surmounting this challenge and making roads safer.
