英语阅读理解自动驾驶,司机的原因是导致车祸的主要原因

It is all very well to blame traffic jams, the cost of petrol and the quick pace of

modern life, but manners on the roads are becoming ody knows

that the nicest men become monsters behind the wheel. It is very well, again, to

have a tiger in the tank, but to have one in the driver’s seat is another matter

might tolerate the odd road-hog, the rude and inconsiderate driver,

but nowadays the well-mannered motorist is the exception to the rule. Perhaps

the situation calls for a “Be Kind to Other Drivers” campaign, otherwise it may get

completely out of hand.

Road politeness is not only good manners, but good sense too. It takes the

most cool-headed and good-tempered of drivers to resist the temptation to

revenge when subjected to uncivilized the other hand, a little

politeness goes a long way towards relieving the tensions of motoring.A friendly

nod or a wave of acknowledgement in response to an act of politeness helps to

create an atmosphere of goodwill and tolerance so necessary in modern traffic

such acknowledgements of politeness are all too rare today. Many

drivers nowadays don’t even seem able to recognize politeness when they see it.

However, misplaced politeness can also be dangerous. Typical examples are

the driver who brakes violently to allow a car to emerge from a side street at some

hazard to following traffic, when a few seconds later the road would be clear

anyway;or the man who waves a child across a zebra crossing into the path of

oncoming vehicles that may be unable to stop in time. The same goes for

encouraging old ladies to cross the road wherever and whenever they care

always amazes me that the highways are not covered with the dead bodies of

these grannies.

A veteran driver, whose manners are faultless, told me it would help if

motorists learnt to filter correctly into traffic streams one at a time without causing

the total blockages that give rise to bad temper. Unfortunately, modern motorists

can’t even learn to drive, let alone master the subtler aspects of

ago the experts warned us that the car-ownership explosion

would demand a lot more give-and-take from all road users. It is high time for all

of us to take this message to heart.
