Part B of the BECE English Language Questions
Question 4. Read the following passage carefully and answer all the questions which follow
In a space of five months, Wasa Adamanso and its environs have witnessed some fatal accidents on our roads, and that have claimed several lives and lot of properties destroyed in that direction. In fact, most victims of those accidents have been maimed seriously which have also brought untold hardships to them and their various families.
Of course, several factors account for the road carnage; among them are poor rood networks, over speeding and overtaking, negligence on the part of officials of the District Motor Traffic Unit of the Police Service.
Besides the poor roads, the accidents are caused due to the recklessness of some drivers. Some drivers speed in spite of the poor nature of the roads. They overload their rickety vehicles that do not see any maintenance for long time. They overtake vehicles at wrong places and worst of all is that some unlicensed drivers drive with impunity. If such activities are allowed to go on it would obviously create accidents.
This cannot be left out that the police have contributed significantly to the carnage. Because instead of checking who qualifies to drive or not, and the road worthiness of vehicles that ply the roads, they are rather more interested in extorting monies from the drivers.
Sincerely, some measures can be adopted to reduce or better still, eradicate the carnage. One is that the police should eschew extortion of monies from the drivers and insist on doing their normal checks and all that.
Another one is that reckless and unlicensed drivers should be arrested and prosecuted in court. Moreover, the District Assembly should pressurize the central government to fix our roads and provide enough road signs. Again, if the police are wake of their responsibilities and drivers observed traffic regulations, lives and property would be protected.
