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 parliament24 the speed limit to 14 m.p.h.But by 1903 the development of the car industry had made it25to raise the limit to 20 m.p.h.by1930,however,the law was so widely ignored that speeding26were done away with together.For five years motorists were free to drive at whatever27they liked.Then in 1935 the Road Traffic Act imposed a 30 m.p.h speed limit in28areas,along with the introduction of driving seats and29crossings.
Speeding is mow the most common motoring offence in Britain.Offences for speeding fall into three classes:exceeding the limit on30road,exceeding on any road.A restricted road is one where the street lamps are 200 yards apart,or more.
The main controversy(争论)31speeding laws is the extent of their safety value.The Ministry of Transport maintains that speed limits reduce accidents.It claims that when 30 m.p.h.limit was imposed on a number of roads in London in the late fifties.There was a 28 percent32in serious accidents.There were also fewer casualties(伤亡)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 limit should be done away with completely,or that a guide should be given to33drivers and the speed limits made advisory,as is done in parts of the USA.
