There are millions of road accidents worldwide each year. People die, are injured and suffer material losses as a result of these accidents. The pollution caused by vehicles also has various negative effects on the environment.

Drivers violating road traffic rules, such as breaking the speed limit or using their mobile phones when driving cause road accidents. These are crimes that expose road users to serious risks.

Such behavior leads to chaos and has prompted legislators to consider penalizing perpetrators by introducing prison terms and fines. Being strict in implementing rules can act as an important deterrent. With the expected increase in the population in various countries and the growing number of vehicles, many countries are searching for a solution to the problem of the increasing number of traffic accidents.

There is a need to continue to develop our traffic systems, as well as punishing violators according to the gravity of their crimes. Some even describe traffic violations as acts of terrorism. The legislative authority in a country needs to enact laws that protect members of society and that protect their lives and wealth in order to prevent chaos and fear and increase safety.

It is now more important than ever to introduce special legislation and specialist courts for traffic crimes. We should remember that the preservation of lives and property is one of the purposes of law and violations need to be dealt with and perpetrators need to be punished.

Traffic offenses classified as dangerous include driving under the influence of alcohol, speeding, driving on the wrong side of the road, joy riding, stopping a vehicle in the middle of the road, not using your lights at night and using your phone when driving.

Respecting and following traffic rules in any society is a clear indication of the modernization and development of the community.
