MODULE 2　Traffic Jam教材背景链接;;The population of Hong Kong is very large.Since taxis，buses，and the subway are all very convenient and aren’t too expensive，about 90% of the people in Hong Kong depend on public transport. However，unlike most other places in China，in Hong Kong the traffic moves on the left.There is a lot of traffic in the streets，so traffic is really heavy in Hong Kong during the daytime.Each year，about 21,000 drivers，passengers，and pedestrians are hurt or killed in traffic accidents in Hong Kong.;Speed limits are 50 kilometres per hour in city areas and 80 kilometres per hour on highways.When you are in a car，either sitting in the front or in the back seats you must wear seat belts.You might have to pay as much as $ 50,000 HK for dangerous driving causing deaths or you may be put into prison.Whenever drivers are involved in traffic accidents，they need to have their alcohol level tested.If any driver’s blood alcohol level is over the limit，the police will take him or her away.Drivers aren’t allowed to use mobile phones while driving in Hong Kong.Anyone caught breaking this law will be fined as much as $2,000 HK.;I think if everyone follows the traffic rules，the roads will be safer.If you have an accident，you can call at 999.
