Driving can be very convenient but can also cause many problems.Waiting in line at a red light,a driver may get impatient and decide just to drive right through it.If another car is coming from the other direction,there might be a terrible accident.Cutting another car off can make its driver angry,so that driver cuts off someone else.Pretty soon everybody is angry and impatient.
Traffic accidents cause millions of deaths every year worldwide.In Taiwan alone,over seven people are killed in accidents every day.The annual death rate from traffic accidents in Taiwan is twice higher than that of Japan.
