　　In Britain you're allowed to drive a car when you're seventeen. You have to get a special two-year driving licence before you can start. When you are learning, someone with a full licence always has to be in the car with you because you are not allowed to drive the car on the road alone. You don't have to go to a driving school—a friend can teach you. The person with you isn't allowed to take money for the lesson unless he's got a teacher's licence.

　　Before you're allowed to have a full licence, you have to take a driving test. You can take a test in your own car, but it has to be fit for the road. In the test you have to drive round for about half an hour and then answer a few questions. If you don't pass the test, you're allowed to take it again a few weeks later if you want to. In 1970 a woman passed her fortieth test after 212 driving lessons! When you've passed your test, you don't have to take it again, and you're allowed to go on driving as long as you like, if you are healthy. Britain's oldest driver was a man who drove in 1974 at the age of 100.

　　Before 1904 everyone was allowed to drive, even children. Then from 1940 car drivers had to have a licence. But they didn't have to take a test until 1935. In the early days of car driving, before 1878, cars weren't allowed to go faster than four miles an hour, and someone had to lead the car with a red flag.

Two policemen stopped Andrew Kershaw in his sports car one night, because he was speeding in the street of the town. The young man was very drunk. He knew he was in trouble, so he decided to make fun of them. He was a law-student at the university, so he knew the law very well, better than most people.     

When the policemen came to his car, Andrew asked one of the policemen to write down in his notebook everything they said. The policeman had to do this because it is the law, although people don’t usually know it. The policeman tested Andrew’s breath and the breathalyser showed that he had too much alcoho1(乙醇）in his blood. This all took a long time because the policeman had to write down everything that he or the policeman said.                                              

In the end, by law, the policeman had to ask Andrew if he wanted to say anything. Andrew decided that he had two things to say and the policemen had to write down. The first thing was “Please don’t hit me again, officer!” And the second thing was :" Does the other officer want ￡5,too?" Of course, the poor policeman had to read this in court, in front of the judge, and he was very embarrassed (难堪). Andrew, who was in court, thought it was very funny, until the judge took away his licence for a year and fined him ￡100, ￡90 for drunk driving, and ￡10 for his rudeness!

1. The policemen stopped Andrew in his car because ______.
