Exercise 1: Read the following passage and decide whether the statements are true
(T) or false (F)
Who are the best drivers? According to a recent survey, young and inexperienced
drivers are the most likely to have an accident. Older drivers are more careful. Young
men have the worst accident record of all. They often drive faster cars with bigger
engines. One of the most interesting findings in the survey is that passengers can affect
the driver. When young male drivers drive their friends, their driving becomes worse.
When their wives or girlfriends are in the car; however, their driving improves. But
this is not true for women. Their driving is more dangerous when their husbands or
boyfriends are in the car. However, if their children are riding in the car, they drive
more slowly and safely.
