25. Part C Additional Listening: Mark Hill Mark Hill is a traffic officer in Watford, near London. He works on some of the business motorways in Britain, the M1 and the M25.
There are traffic police on duty twenty-four hours a day. There are three shifts,
26. Part C Additional Listening: Mark Hill and each shift is eight hours. On average they have to deal with three to four accidents each shift. Here is Mark Hill talking about his job:
Most accidents happen because people drive too fast---especially when the
27. Part C Additional Listening: Mark Hill roads are wet. Sometimes we get accidents that occur because drivers dont follow the rules. For example, Ive seen a number of cases of drivers overtaking on the left. This is illegal in Britain. If you
28. Part C Additional Listening: Mark Hill want to overtake, you have to go into the fast lane on the right.
Not everyone can use a motorway in Britain. People that ride a bicycle or a small motorbike are not allowed to use it.
