I spent Monday morning at a speed awareness course, whereas I had been dispatched for failing to notice a speed camera on the other side of a dual carriageway. It was an interesting opportunity for the examination of the emotional mechanisms underlying moral conduct. Driving a car is almost certainly the most dangerous thing that any of us do in our lives. Certainly, it’s the most dangerous to other people. Even the ghastly(令人震惊的)Mexican drug wars(60 000 killed since 2006)are not more lethal than the traffic there, which kills about 17 000 people every year.
One interesting thing is that there was no attempt by our lecturers to make explicit the moral dimensions of what we had done. I’m not saying there should have been. It wouldn’t have been effective. But the emphasis was entirely on self-interest and the unpleasant social and financial consequences of being caught again.
Related to this was the extraordinary lack of regret or even interest shown by some of the participants. I was sitting next to a man who ran a minicab company and consistently guessed that the speed limits on various classes of roads were anything up to 20mph lower than they actually are. This did not mean that he drove at 20mph below the limit, only that he assumed that he was speeding all the time and everywhere.
The only time there was an outbreak of moral outrage was when one of our members confessed that he sometimes rode a bicycle. Cyclists, we rapidly learned, were vile, dangerous outlaws who shot red lights, paid no tax, rode on the pavement and behaved with utter disregard for the safety of anyone else on the road. While this noise was going on, I had a small epiphany(顿悟). The cyclists were hated because they are cheats. They are getting away with something that car drivers cannot.
Especially in London traffic, the cyclist appears as a figure high above all laws and duns. The motorist is born free, but everywhere he is in queues. The courier burning through a red light, even the quiet law-abiding cyclist like me who only rides very slowly through red lights, demonstrates the freedom that car drivers have traded for comfort.
What kind of content was covered in the course?
选项
A、The principles behind people’s moral conduct.
B、The traffic rules people should observe.
C、The financial loss caused by the misconduct.
D、The establishment of people’s self-discipline.
答案
C
解析
细节辨认题。由定位句可知,课程内容完全是关于驾驶人员的个人利益,以及超速被抓所导致的不良个人社会形象和经济损失。因此该培训班中讲授的内容包括C)“由驾驶不当引起的经济损失”,此选项符合文意,故为正确答案。
