The car was moving so fast that it went through the highway-dividing fench

　　resulting in a collision in which five people died.

　　Those unnecessary deaths are attributable in part to the womans choice of a large automobile.

　　A lighter and smaller car probably wouldnt have gone through the fence

　　because the heavier the car

　　the greater the force it will have in a collision.

　　Furthermore,even if the lighter car had broken through the fence

　　its remaining energy would have been much less

　　and this would have reduced the chances of serious injury or death.

　　Because of its small size

　　it might have missed the other car completely.

　　The present design of the oversized automobile is largely responsible not only for the increasing death

　　toll on the highway but also for the rapid depletion of our resources of petroleum

　　for the pollution of our environment

　　for urban sprawl,and for the congestion and inconenience of our cities.

　　14. What did the author want to tell us?

　　15. In the authors opinion, whats the best way to reduce the chances of serious injury or death in highway accidents?

　　16. According to the passage,which of the following is not the disadvantage of the oversized automobile?
