$GRAMMAR Reading: Safe Driving Rules — Paragraph 2

READING
INTRO: Paragraph two — a confusing sentence with a serious point. Read it carefully.
CARD: **Paragraph 2.** "Be careful of the driver in the car behind the car ahead of you." This sentence looks confusing, but it's one of the most important rules in safe driving.

We should worry about other drivers, but we should also be sure that we're driving cautiously.

# Source: ST §Reading: Speed Limits — Paragraph 3
$GRAMMAR Reading: Speed Limits — Paragraph 3
ID: l2-s34-r-p3
READING
INTRO: Last paragraph: who decides what a speed limit sign should say?
CARD: **Paragraph 3.** Many things tell us what a speed limit sign should say. One of them is the number of people who use the street, road, or highway. Another is the places that those people are going to. Are they traveling to work or to their homes? Are they on vacation? The kind of street, road, or highway also decides the speed limit. A high speed limit isn't safe on a narrow, curved road with only two lanes. Because a wide, straight road with many lanes is safer, the speed limit on it can be higher.
