Dangerous driver in Britain – level 1

08-01-2015 15:00

Police release a video. The video is from Britain. A person films it on a lorry. The lorry is on a motorway. Its speed is 60 miles per hour (96 kilometres per hour).

The video shows a blue car. It gets in front of the lorry. The car then brakes. It gets very close to the lorry. This is very dangerous. It happens very quickly. The car drives away.

Police catch the driver of this car. He must pay 145 pounds. He also must do 100 hours of unpaid work. He must not drive for 9 years.

Difficult words: release (to show to people), brake (to go slower), unpaid (if you work, you will get no money).

You can read the original story and watch the video in the Level 3 section.

Do you agree with the man's punishment?
