In Order for Our Security on The Road.

In Kyoko Altman’s (1997) article, “‘Road Rage’ runs rampant in high-stress U.S. society,” she discusses what the problem is on the road. There are many accidents because of ‘road rage’, and most of these are caused by stupid reasons. Those, who drive very fast and rashly don’t know that it leads to a terrible result. Recently, there are many cars on the road more and more, it’s very stressful and it makes people impolite. Therefore, many states try to solve these problems in many different ways.

Traffic accidents are very serious these days. In order to solve these problems, we should think much of that right now. Education, law, and security are necessary to fight ‘road rage’.

First of all, we need to educate people about driving more seriously. We need to pass two examinations to get the drive license. One is a examination on paper and other one is a practical test. But it’s not enough to drive a car. Driving isn’t only a technical problem, but also a mental problem. We should learn about a good driving attitude and we should be responsible.

Secondly, we should make stricter laws. People who drive a car need to recognize that it’s different from video games or something like that. They must think about the result of their wrong driving. It helps people to drive more seriously, and to drive tensely is good for drivers and others. Whenever people drive, there is no reason to drive recklessly.

Finally, a security system is necessary even though people drive very carefully. Some dangerous situations always exist in the road even though people don’t want that. So we need to prepare something before accidents happen. For example, we should check road conditions, develop traffic signal systems, and make a round of inspection. Somebody should hold on to people’s security because we are imperfect humans.

In conclusion, we should try to prevent accidents with each other. It’s not only our own problem but also it injures other people. It’s a very terrible situation. We should be responsible. We have to drive safety for ourselves and others.
