15、 the blood on the street flows essentially from uncivil(不文明的 ) behavior of drivers who refuse to respect the legal and moral rights of others. So the killing on the road may be regarded as a social problem. In fact, the enemies of society on wheels are rather harmless people. Just ordinary people ac

16、ting carelessly, you might say. But it is a principle both of law and common morality(道德 ) that carelessness is no excuse when ones actions could bring death or damage to others. A minority of the killers go even beyond carelessness to total negligence(疏忽 ). Researchers have estimated that as many a

17、s 80 percent of all automobile accidents are due to the mental condition of the driver.
