DANGEROUS DRIVING IN BRITAIN

In common with many countries, Britain has serious environmental problems. In 1952, more then 4,000 people died in London because of the smog. The government introduced new lows to stop smog from coal fires and factories and the situation improved a lot. Today, London is much cleaner but there is a new problem: smog from gas. In December 1991, there was very little wind in London and pollution increased a lot. As a result, about 160 people died from pollution in just four days.

Pat of the problem is the new “out of town” shopping centres. In the past people often walked to shops near their homes or went by bus. Now, many people drive to the new shopping centres. As a result, the small shops have disappeared and more people have to travel to do the shopping. Critics say that Britain needs better ad cheaper public transport. Transport in Britain is very expensive. An early morning train trip from Glasgow to London can cost about 100 pounds (about 150 US dollars). A short 15 minute bus trip can cost over 1 pound (over 1,5 dollar).

Many people are trying to reduce the use of cars in Britain. Some cities now have special bicycle path and many people cycle to work. Some people also travel o work together in one car to reduce the pollution and cost.

Sometimes people take “direct action”. In1995, for example, many people wanted to stop a new road near Newbury. They built houses in trees and lived there for many months. It took a long time to force people out of the trees before work on the road continue.
