My version
If I need to travel to a place 40 miles away from my home, I would choose the comfortable, safe, reliable and fast high speed railways. Firstly, high speed railway saves time cost and logistic cost and drives the sustainable growth of railway traffic. Secondly, the development of high speed railways has promoted the industrialization and urbanization process. The time and space gap between regions and cities are filled and service scope of the railway covers more widely. Thirdly, opening of high speed railways also has promoted the tourism, catering, trade and service industries along the railway and in vicinity areas, created job opportunities and become an impetus boosting development of the tertiary industry. Thus, the high speed railway is my favorite means of transport. Why not try it someday?
Stay away from aggressive road users
Avoid absence of mind, alcoholic drinks
and speeding
Follow traffic rules and instructions of the
police
Ensure the good condition of the vehicles
