Question

【题目】 Today, we drive safer cars on safer roads, but most car accidents are the result of human error. 【1】 So it’s a good idea to review some basic rules for safe driving. Here are four driving tips that will help bring you and your passengers home unharmed.

1. Practice defensive（保护的）driving.

Defensive driving includes keeping a safe distance and not speeding. 【2】 Accept small delays, such as staying in line behind a slower car instead of suddenly changing lanes.

2. 【3】

Sometimes, it doesn’t matter how safely you drive. You are driving at the speed limit and obeying all traffic rules but someone else can crash into you. One good rule is to think everyone else on the road is a fool and be prepared for anything unexpected. 【4】 And it pays to be ready when you do.

3. Don’t follow too closely.

Drivers need enough time to react if the car in front makes a sudden turn or stop. It can be too difficult for drivers to judge the proper distances while driving and the exact distance is adjusted by speed, so most experts suggest a “three-second rule”.

4. Be more careful in bad weather.

【5】 Drive below the speed limit if necessary, keep extra space between you and the car ahead, and be especially careful around curves. If the weather worsens, just find a safe place to wait out the storm.

A.Wear your safety belt.

B.Watch out for other drivers.

C.Chances are that you’ll eventually meet someone foolish.

D.The best way to reduce accidents is to practice safe driving behaviors.

E.If you’re driving through fog, heavy rain or on icy roads, be extra careful.

F.Remaining calm in the face of annoying traffic is another major part of the idea.

G.If a driver is tired enough to fall asleep while driving, the results are terrible.
