I travelled from Nottingham to Yorkshire in my own car, being carried there like a precious parcel in a glass case. I used to drive myself, but have given it up these last few years, not because I think myself too important to change my own gears but simply because I am a very bad driver. People who are downright bad drivers should not handle a motor these days, when the roads are so crowded and dangerous. They are a menace to other persons as weil asto themselves. I think-as you are probably thinking-that it is disgraceful that a large adult male should not be able to drive a car decently. (My own trouble is that 1 become absent-minded at the wheel and am not able to act quickly. The result is that I run into things. lndeed, there are few things commonly met with on the road that I have not bumped in my time). But it is still more disgraceful not to admit your incompetence, to go on driving when you know in your heart of hearts that at any minute you may torn into a dangerous nuisance....

1) Do you agree with the author about the main cause of car accidents? Can you think of other causes ? According to the writer, the main cause of car accidents is due to the great number of bad drivers, who are allowed to drive a car.

And the author is quite right as those people turn out to be a danger to themselves as weil as a threat to others.

For them, the road signais are not to be respected and the highway code exists to be violated.

Most of the time, they think that they are atone on the road, and because of their proud selfishness and total unconsciousness, they expect the others to yield in front of them.

Or if they drive too fast, they Jose control of their machine and then bump into whatever abject lies in their way.
