It is all very well to blame traffic jams, the cost of petrol and the quick pace of modern life, but manners on the roads are becoming horrible. Everybody knows that the nicest men become monsters behind the wheel. It is all very well, again, to have a tiger in the tank, but to have one in the driver’s seat is another matter altogether. You might tolerate the odd road-hog, the rude and inconsiderate driver, but nowadays the well-mannered motorist is the exception to the rule. Perhaps the situation calls for a "Be Kind to Other Drivers" campaign, otherwise it may get completely out of hand.Road politeness is not only good manners, but good sense too. It takes the most cool-headed and good-tempered of drivers to resist the temptation to revenge when subjected to uncivilized behavior. On the other hand, a little politeness goes a long way towards relieving the tensions of motoring. A friendly nod or a wave of acknowledgement in response to an act of politeness helps to create an atmosphere of goodwill and tolerance so necessary in modern traffic conditions. But such acknowledgements of politeness are all too rare today. Many drivers nowadays don’t even seem able to recognize politeness when they see it.However, misplaced politeness can also be dangerous. Typical examples are the driver who brakes violently to allow a car to emerge from a side street at some hazard to following traffic, when a few seconds later the road would be clear anyway; or the man who waves a child across a zebra crossing into the path of on-coming vehicles that may be unable to stop in time. The same goes for encouraging old ladies to cross the road wherever and whenever they care to. It always amazes me that the highways are not covered with the dead bodies of these grannies.A veteran driver, whose manners are faultless, told me it would help if motorists learnt to filter correctly into traffic streams one at a time without causing the total blockages that give rise to bad temper. Unfortunately, modern motorists can’t even learn to drive, let alone master the subtler aspects of roadmanship. Years ago the experts warned us that the car-ownership explosion would demand a lot more give-and-take from all road users. It is high time for all of us to take this message to heart. The sentence "You might tolerate the odd road-hog...the rule." (Para. 1) implies that（）

TEXT E Democrats following the presidential campaign are divided into two factions these days: people who are frustrated that John Kerry isn’t crushing President Bush in polls, and people who say Kerry is in great shape compared to past challengers. "Gas prices are up, the stock market is down, Iraq is a mess, and John Kerry is saying to himself, ’How am I going to beat this guy’" David Letterman joked Monday night on CBS, summing up the sentiments of the first group. Kerry’s team says it’s amazing that he’s fled with a wartime president after a $60 million ad campaign against him. "They (the Bush campaign) thought they would unleash this and we would be standing before you dead. That is not the case," Kerry’s campaign manager, Mary Beth Cahill, said in an interview Tuesday. Bush has been under siege for weeks over violence against Americans in Iraq and the Iraqi prisoner-abuse scandal. Despite Bush’s difficult stretch, most polls show the presidential race tied. Kerry’s inability to break away, along with perceived missteps by him and his campaign, has fueled so many critiques that online commentator Mickey Kaus of Slate has started a "Dem Panic Watch" — a catalog of columns and stories about everything from Kerry team infighting to advice to lighten up. "I’ve always thought Kerry was a terrible candidate," Kaus, a Democrat, said in an interview. "I think he is proving that ... now. Democrats are definitely panicking." But Paul Begala, an architect of Bill Clinton’s 1992 victory, said Democrats "whining about Kerry have no sense of history, no sense of strategy." Case in point: Clinton was in third place behind President George H.W. Bush and Ross Perot at this point in 1992. Who has ever been the architect of Bill Clinton presidency
