Banning to sell alcohol is not the best way to reduce accident in Songkran Festival.

Follow the issue of Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva, whether to ban the sale of alcohol during the upcoming Songkran Festival, in order to reduce the annual carnage caused by road accidents. This issue is becoming controversial. It is true that drinking was the main cause of a sharp rise in road accidents during Songkran day. Most of the road accidents occur because drunks get behind the wheel of a car or a motorbike. They are not aware of the dangers of drinking and driving. However, a prohibition to sell alcohol is not best way to prevent accidents in a long term. A better way should be to give knowledge and motivate them to have more awareness. The government should better monitor the drivers who are drunk and punish them to make them learn. I think this is a better way to reduce accidents in long term.

  1. I agree with you. The government should monitor the drunk driver and make it strict more on the road, instead banning selling alcohol.
