新手上路的第一课，目视前方。

Unfortunately, cell phones and other electronic devices² are causing many drivers to lose their focus and sometimes their lives.

然而，手机等电子设备致许多司机注意力不集中，甚至因此丧命。

A recent survey found that during the previous month, 7 in 10 US drivers had talked on a cell phone, and nearly one third had read or sent a text or e-mail message while driving.

近期研究发现，每10名美国民众7人开车打电话，近三分之一开车收发短信。

Crashes cause over 1,000,000 deaths each year worldwide, and distracted³ driving is emerging⁴ as a serious threat to road safety.
