Road Accidents

There are far too many road accidents in Britain, too many deaths and too many people injured. One wonders who most to blame, drivers or pedestrians are.

Some people say that the blame cannot be put fairly without considering the state of the roads and the whole transport system. In crowded cities like London, Birmingham or Manchester, road conditions are so bad that both driver and pedestrian often endanger lives through no fault of their own.

On the other hand, many experts believe that the larger part of the blame for the death toll must be put on persons and persons alone: Drivers who drive to fast and without any consideration for others; drivers who think that they are safe at the wheel even though they have drunk too much alcohol; drivers, who out of some curious sense of power, are incapable of understanding that their car is a dangerous weapon if it improperly used. Pedestrians must share the guilt---stepping off the pavement without first looking to the left or right, crossing roads when the traffic lights are against them and jumping off a moving bus.

To be fair, pedestrians, drivers and road conditions are all to blame. One looks forward to the day when the motor-car has been replaced by some less dangerous means of transport.
