IV. Post-Listening Exercises [Top]

In your own words, give a summary of the traffic violations the driver in this
conversation committed. What steps can law enforcement (police officers) take to
protect the public and roads in such cases? Is it better to try to talk your way out
of traffic ticket or just accept the consequences if you have broken a traffic law?

V. Online Investigations - [ What's This? ] [Top]

Getting a traffic ticket for different violations can happen if you aren't aware of the
laws or code where you live or visit. Choose a country you want to visit and find
out about three specific traffic laws and the penalties for violating those laws. How
do these rules compare to those in your own area. Keep in mind that the traffic
code can vary widely from area to area within the same country. Learning about
the criminal justice system before you travel to a new place can help you avoid
legal poblems.
