Mopeds gain popularity across Europe amid traffic rise

Across Europe mopeds attract buyers from youth to workers as traffic and parking woes push car users to two wheel transport. France reports the deadliest moped crash toll with 1,232 killed last year. Britain records 11 fatalities in 1976 amid rising use. In Switzerland a shift from larger cars occurs during the energy crunch. In Denmark and the Netherlands mopeds dominate as a primary transport mode, while Spain’s poorer areas see them common among construction and farm workers. In Landob and France safety remains a concern for riders.

Mars Moon May Be Doomed

An AP report notes Phobos, Mars’s larger moon, is slowly torn by gravity. A Nature letter by Steven Soter and Alan Harris says the moon may take up to 100 million years to break apart, likely forming a ring rather than crashing into Mars. Viking photographs show parallel grooves suggesting stress cracks on the 14 mile diameter body.
