Cross a frontier without adjusting and you can be

12、in deep trouble.One of the greatest gulfs separating the driving nations is the Atlantic Ocean. More precisely, it isthe mental distance between the European and the American motorist, particularly the South American motorist.

European visitors are constantly falling into this t

16、rap. They return to the Old World still flapping their arms in frustration because while driving inthe State in their car they kept failing to get off the highway when they wanted to and were swept along to the next city.However, one nation above all others lives scrupulously by its traffic regulati

17、onsthe Swiss. InSwitzerland, if you were simply to anticipatea traffic light, the chances are that the motorist behind you would take your number and report you to the police. What is more, the police would visit you; and you would be convicted. The Swiss take their rules of the road so seriously th

18、at adiver can be ordered to appear in court and charged for speeding on hearsay alone, and very likely found guilty. There are slight regional variations among the French, German and Italian speaking areas, but it is generally safe to assume that any ear bearing a CH sticker will be driven with a hi

Clearly, the Jerry Springer show is a display and exploitation of societys moral catastrophes, ye

The show focuses on the improvement of society and an individuals qualityof life. Topics range from te

27、aching your children responsibility, managing your work week, to getting to know your neighbors.Compared to Oprah, the Jerry Springer show looks like poisonous waste being dumped on society.
