In Britain, the old Road Traffic Act restricted speeds to 2 m. p. h.(miles per hour)in towns and 4 m. p. h. in the country. Later Parliament increased the speed limit to 14 m. p. h. But by 1903 the development of the car industry had made it necessary to raise the limit to 20 m. p. h. By 1930, however, the law was so widely ignored that speeding restrictions were done away with altogether. For five years motorists were free to drive at whatever speeds they liked. Then in 1935 the Road Traffic Act imposed a 30 m. p. h. speed limit in built-up areas, along with the introduction of driving tests and pedestrian crossing.
Speeding is now the most common motoring offence in Britain. Offences for speeding fall into three classes: exceeding the limit on a restricted road, exceeding on any road the limit for the vehicle you are driving, and exceeding the 70 m. p. h. limit on any road. A restricted road is one where the street lamps are 200 yards apart, or more.
The main controversy surrounding speeding laws is the extent of their safety value. The Ministry of Transport maintains that speed limits reduce accidents. It claims that when the 30 m. p. h. limit was introduced in 1935 there was a fall of 15 percent in fatal accidents. Likewise, when the 40 m. p. h. speed limit was imposed on a number of roads in London in the late fifties, there was a 28 percent reduction in serious accidents. There were also fewer casualties in the year after the 70 m. p. h. motorway limit was imposed in 1966.
In America, however, it is thought that the reduced accident figures are due rather to the increase in traffic density. This is why it has even been suggested that the present speed limits should be done away with completely, or that a guide should be given to inexperienced drivers and the speed limits made advisory, as is done in parts of the U. S.
Questions:
Speeding is a motoring offence a driver commits when he does the following things except______.
选项
A、driving faster than 70 miles per hour on any road
B、driving faster than the limit on a restricted road
C、exceeding the limit of 30 miles per hour on any road
D、exceeding the limit for certain vehicles on any road
答案
C
解析
第3题可在第二段第一句话中找到主题词speeding,motoring offence,所以此题答案应在第二段里的上下文中找出。第二段指出超速驾驶现在在英国是最常见的交通违规现象,它包括三种:在有时速限制的路上超速驾驶;在任何路上以超过针对正驾驶的车辆所规定的最大车速驾驶;在任何路上超过70英里/小时驾驶,这三种现象均为超速。通过分析归纳,我们可以得出结论,当司机开车超过了时速限制时就违反了交通法规中超速一条,但文章中并没有提到在任何路上超过30英里/小时也是违反超速驾驶规定的。因此本题的正确答案为C。
