[originaltext]W: Okay, Nathan.(12)So we are talking about driving and are there

W: Okay, Nathan.(12)So we are talking about driving and are there any rules or regulations that you’d like to change?
M: I’m not sure I want to change rules, but I’d like the police to be stricter on the rules. Like if people jump the traffic lights, I don’t know why there isn’t a camera of the traffic lights to stop people doing that. Or like speeding. It’s very easy to put speed cameras in certain places.
W:(13)Maybe car manufacturers should have some responsibility in limiting the power of their engines. What’s the point in producing an engine that’s big and powerful enough to go like 200 kilometers an hour when the speed limit is only 100?
M: Right,(14-1)but do you know there are no speed limits in Germany?
W:(14-2)People there do drive responsibly though. Often people break laws simply because the laws are there. If the law isn’t there, people will drive within their ability range. When you’ve got speed limits, this creates situations that actually present dangers on the road.
M: Do you think Germans have better education about personal responsibility when driving?
W: Possibly. They also have very good cars.
M: Right.
W: If you’ve got a good car that can go at a high speed, then it’s really nice to do that.
M: But still with care.
W: So I think it’s the restrictions that create the danger sometimes.
M: Okay.
W: Obviously, when driving through a residential area or where there is a school, you’ve got to have speed policemen.
M: Speed bumps.
W: Yes, speed bumps. Those speed bumps that force you to slow down. I think they are a good idea.
M:(15-1)So you don’t think fining people is useful?
W:(15-2)Not really, because the police don’t have time to police every single driver.
