Question

It took firemen almost an hour to cut through the wreckage (残骸) of the car. By the time they reached the driver，Wong，he had died. Seconds before the crash happened the traffic on the road was flowing smoothly，and Wong was an experienced driver in a sturdy car. What could have caused the tragedy? Alcohol. After Wong had drunk four cans of beer his physical and mental reactions had slowed. He had a false feeling of confidence. Then he lost control hitting a fire hydrant and a lamp post.

In almost every other developed country Wong might have thought twice about getting behind the wheel and setting off in his car after drinking beer. His passengers might have refused to join him. Would you fly with a drunk pilot? Laws and public campaigns against drink-driving in many countries have changed people's lifestyles and saved thousands of lives. Drink-drivers are regarded as potential killers. In some countries police on roadsides pull over motorists and check whether they have been drinking or not.

In 1995 about 7 % of drivers killed in road accidents in Hong Kong were drink-driving. But this does not tell us the full extent of the problem because it does not show the number of motorists and pedestrians (行人) killed by drink?? drivers who survived their crash. In reality then the number of people killed as a result of drink-driving must be much higher. But in 1995 only five people were prosecuted (起诉) for being drunk and incapable of controlling a vehicle.
