【B1】________. Casualty figures are low compared with most other industrialized countries. But this positive record, coupled with the fact that the international trend continues downwards, is also why the first increase in road deaths for almost a decade should be a cause for concern.
【B2】________. Deaths among drivers and passengers were up 6 per cent, with rural roads accounting for more of the rise than urban areas, and a disproportionate number of fatal accidents involving drivers under 24.
【B3】________. That is worth considering. There are many roads where the lack of a limit implicitly allows drivers to travel at 60 mph, even where the conditions should dictate otherwise. Arguments about the expense of new signs could be met by the introduction of a blanket limit on minor roads. Enforcement would, of course, be difficult. But the setting of a new norm would at the very least alert drivers to the dangers and foster greater caution.
【B4】________. Many reasons could be advanced, not all of them related to worse behavior on the part of drivers. At least some of the increase could be attributed to technology, and the distractions of mobile devices and headphones. The danger that lurks when pedestrians are insufficiently aware of their surroundings should be spelt out more loudly and more often.
【B5】________. Calls can already be heard, from MPs and others, for the government to shelve its plan for a higher, 80 mph speed limit on motorways, or at least to put it to a Commons vote. Motorways, though, account for relatively few UK road deaths; rural roads are many times more dangerous, Concentrating on improvements to these secondary roads, and on pedestrian awareness everywhere, would be a better use of limited funds than reversing a sensible change that recognizes reality and improves enforcement. This is the message to be drawn from the latest road accident figures, and it should be heeded— even though it may not be what certain vocal groups of campaigners want to hear.
Questions 61-65

A. The relatively high accident rate on rural roads has brought calls for a new speed limit in country areas of 40 mph.
B. A breakdown of the 2010-11 figures shows where that concern could most usefully be directed.
C. The most startling aspect of the statistics is the 12 per cent rise in deaths among pedestrians.
D. The discovery was made almost by accident.
E. The UK has long prided itself on its road safety standards.
F. Under the new regulations, coach drivers must take a break every four hours.
