Each year hundreds of thousands of people are injured or killed on the roads in Great Britain, or rather, between 100,000 and 200,000 people are injured or killed in road accidents.
If you are in England and if you listen to the eight o'clock news from BBC, you will often hear news of road accidents. You may hear something like this, "On Monday evening, at about twenty to ten, a cyclist was knocked down by a truck at the crossing of Oak Road and High Street in Croydon. The cyclist has died from his injuries. Anyone who saw the accident please communicates with New Scotland Yard."
Accidents are often caused by carelessness. If everybody obeys the rules, the roads will be much safer.
In Great Britain traffic keeps to the left. Motors--cars, trucks, buses and bikes must all keep to the left side of the road. In most other countries, traffic keeps to the right.
Before crossing the road, stop and look both ways. Look right, look left, and look right again. Then, if you are sure that the road is clear and there is nothing coming, it is safe to cross the road. If you see children, old people, or blind people waiting to cross the road, it is a kind act to help them cross the road in safety.
