发帖数: 11198 | 1 7 Traffic Laws That Are Commonly Broken
According to the U.S. Department of Transportation, there were over 5.8
million traffic accidents in 2008. Most of these accidents were caused by
failing to obey traffic laws.
Here is a list of the 7 most commonly broken traffic laws. If you follow
these laws, the likelihood of having a traffic accident or getting a ticket
will greatly decrease.
1) Not using your turn signals when making a turn.
转弯时不打转弯灯信号。
（告诉后面的车，你要干什么）
2) At an intersection, not yielding to the vehicle on a driver’s right
(this vehicle has right-of-way).
在交叉路口，不让有优先权的车先行。
（4-Way STOP的路口:先到先行；有红绿灯的路口：转弯让直行）
3) Stopping at places other than designated shoulders on the road (
especially for police and emergency vehicles).
在非指定路肩停车。
（尤其警察和救护车才能停的地方）
4) Not turning on your hazard lights on when your vehicle breaks down.
车况出问题时，没打开紧急灯。
（车内有个红色三角的按钮）
5) Not wearing your seat belt (this includes all passengers in the
vehicle).
没系安全带。
（包括车里的所有乘客）
6) Using a cell phone or texting while driving (the laws will differ
depending upon your state or city, but laws prohibiting these things are
becoming more common).
边开车边打电话或者发短信。
（不同州和城市有不同的规定，但法律禁止这些行为越来越普遍）
7) Not slowing down at on/off-ramps, even in the absence of traffic
lights or road signs.
在出/入斜道不减速。
（即使没有交通灯或者路标时）
By following these laws, fewer accidents will occur. This could help curb
the rising cost to insure a car. According to the AAA 2010 Your Driving
Cost study, the average cost of auto insurance for sedans rose by 5.7% to $1
,031 for a typical policy including collision and comprehensive coverage.
Take matters into your own hands and create a safer driving environment for
everyone. |
