英语四级命题作文：遏制交通事故，唯有靠更严格的交通法

Only Stricter Traffic Laws Can Prevent Accidents
　　Though the possibility of living a long and happy life is greater than ever before, every day thousands of people all over the world are killed or horribly mutilated on the roads just because of traffic accidents.
　　This situation is mainly due to the following two reasons. In the first place, the drivers are becoming less aware of social morality. When they are sitting behind a steering wheel, they totally forget the traffic laws which should be complied with. In the second place, the surprising thing is that society smiles so benignly on the peace breakers and seems to condone their behavior. As the transportation develops, cities become almost uninhabitable because of heavy traffic and the countryside is destroyed by the complicated road networks.
　　Therefore, it is high time that a world code were created to reduce this senseless waste of human life and to have some beneficial effect on the accident rate.                (153 words)
