PrepTest 102 - Section 3 - Question 16

Show summary

Motorcoach driver: Support Professional drivers spend much more time driving, on average, than do other people and hence Support are more competent drivers than are other, less experienced drivers. ██████████ ███ █████ █████ ██ █████ ████████ ██████ ███ ██ ████████ ███████ ████ ██████ █████ ████ ███ ███████████ ██████ ██ ███████ ████ ██████ ███ ███ ███ ████ ███████████ ███ █████████ ███████ ██ █████ ███ ████

Speaker 1 Summary

The motorcoach driver claims that we shouldn’t reduce highway speed limits. Why not? Because doing so would “force” some competent drivers to break the law, presumably by speeding. Who would these drivers be? We can infer the motorcoach driver is talking about professional drivers, who are better-than-average drivers because they spend more time driving. (The assumption is that the professionals wouldn’t reduce their speed to respect a new limit.)

Speaker 2 Summary

The police officer argues that lowering the speed limit would not actually be the cause of people speeding. This is because anyone can drive at the limit if they choose to—so the drivers’ choices, not the limit, would be to blame for speeding.

Objective

We need to find a point of disagreement. The driver and the officer disagree about whether lowering the speed limit would cause any drivers to speed.
