There are far too many road accidents in this country,too many deaths and too many people injured. One wonders who are most to blame, drivers and pedestrians.__1__ Some people say that the blame cannot be put fairly with considering the state of the roads and the whole __2__ transport system. In such crowed cities London,__3__ Birmingham or Manchester, road conditions are so chaotic that both driver and pedestrian often endanger lives through no fault of their own. Such sufficiency__4__ as too many road signs, faulty traffic lights, suddenly narrowing of the streets, congested parking are all a sure indication of bad road conditions. On the other hand, many experts are convincing that the larger__5__ part of the blame for the death toll must be put on persons alone: Drivers who drive too fast and without any consideration for others; drivers who think they are safe at the wheel as though they have drunk too__6__ much alcohol; drivers, who out of some curious sense of power, are incapable of understanding that their car is a lethal weapon if is improperly used. Pedestrians, __7__ likewise, must share the guilt-stepping off the pavement without first looking to the left or right,crossing roads when the traffic lights are for them,__8__ jump off a moving bus. To be fair, pedestrians, drivers__9__ and road conditions are all to blame. One looks forward to the day when the motor-car has been replaced by some more dangerous means of transport.__10__
