Motorways are,no doubt,the safest roads in Britain.Mile for mile,vehicle for vehicle,you are much less likely to be killed or seriously injured than on an ordinary road.On the other hand,if you do have a serious accident on a motorway,fatalities are much more likely to occur than in a comparable accident elsewhere on the roads.
Motorways have no sharp bends,no roundabouts or traffic lights and thus speeds are much greater than on other roads.Though the 70 m.p.h.limit is still in force,it is often treated with the contempt that most drivers have for the 30 m.p.h.limit applying in built up areas in Britain.Added to this is the fact that motorway drivers seem to like traveling in groups with perhaps barely ten metres between each vehicle.The resulting horrific pile-ups when one vehicle stops for some reason--mechanical failure,driver error and so on--have become all too familiar through pictures in newspapers or on television.How many of these drivers realize that it takes a car about one hundred metres to brake to a stop from 70 m.p.h.Drivers also seem to think that motorway driving gives them complete protection from the changing weather.However wet the road,whatever the visibility in mist or fog,they plough at ridiculous speeds oblivious of police warnings or speed restrictions until their journey comes to a conclusion.
无可置疑,高速公路在英国是最安全的道路.一哩程一哩程及一车一车地,你会比在普通道路上少了很多被杀或严重受伤的机会.但另一方面,如果你在高速公路上发生严重意外时,致命的机会相比在任何地方的道路上的意外会多.
高速公路没有急弯、没有绕道或交通灯及速度会比其它道路高很多.虽然现在仍限制时速为70哩,但很多时都被轻视,很多驾驶者在英国发展地区会用时速30哩来行驶,再加上事实地很多高速公路的驾驶者好像一个团队旅游一样,可能每车相隔只有仅仅10公尺,可怕的结果是当一辆车因为合理机械故障、驾驶者的失误或其它种种原因而停车时,熟识的情况又会透过图片在报纸或电视上出现了.有多少这类型的驾驶者会知道要在时速70哩的情况下刹停一辆车大约需要100公尺的距离呢?驾驶者亦好像在想:高速公路会在天气变化时给予他们!完全的保障,无论道路是如何的湿滑、在迷雾中的视线如何,他们仍在一个荒谬的速度中破浪前进,没有注意警察的告示或时速限制,直至他们的旅程结束.
