Question 14 is based on the conversation you have just heard.

Conversation Two

W: Okay, Nelson. （12）So we are talking about driving and are there any rules or regulations that you’d like to change?

M: I’m not sure I want to change rules, but I’d like the police to be stricter on the rules. Like if people jump traffic lights, I don’t know why there isn’t a camera at the traffic lights to stop people doing that. Or like speeding. It’s very easy to put speed cameras in certain places.

W: （13）Maybe car manufacturers should have some responsibility in limiting the power of their engines. What’s the point in producing an engine that is big and powerful enough to go, like 200km/h when the speed limit is only 100?

M: （14）Right, but do you know there are no speed limits in Germany?

W: People there do drive responsibly, though. Often people break laws simply because the laws are there. If the law isn’t there, people will drive within their ability range. When you got speed limits, this creates situations that actually present dangers on the road.

M: Do you think Germans have better education about personal responsibility when driving?

W: Possibly. They also have very good cars.

M: Right.

W: If you got a good car that can go at a high speed, then it’s really nice to do that. M: But still, with care.

W: So I think it’s the restrictions that create the dangers sometimes.

M: Okay.

W: Obviously, when driving through a residential area or where there is a school, you’ve got to have speed policemen.

M: Speed bumps.

W: Yes, speed bumps. Those speed bumps that force you to slow down. I think they are good ideas.

M:（15）So you don’t think fining people is useful?

W: Not really, because the police don’t have time to police every single driver.

14. What can we learn about people driving in Germany?

原文中提到尽管德国没有速度限制，但人们开车仍然很负责任， “People there do drive responsibly”，对应选项 D 中的“They tend to drive responsibly”（他们往往很负责地开车），故正确答案为 D。
