Many Chinese have been greatly shocked by the traffic accident caused by the drunk driver Sun Weiming, who has killed five and injured some others in Chengdu, Sichuan. However, such a case is not rare.
Today, the traffic accidents may have been regarded as a social problem. The car has killed and disabled more people in its brief history than any bomb or weapon ever invented. Much of the blood on the street flows actually from rude behavior of drivers who refuse to respect the legal and moral (道德的) rights of others. In fact, the enemies of society on wheels are rather harmless but just ordinary people acting carelessly, you might say. But it is a principle both of law and common morality that carelessness is no excuse when one's actions could bring death or damage to others. A minority of the killers go even far beyond carelessness that can be imagined.
Researchers have estimated that as many as 80 percent of all automobile accidents can be attributed to the psychological condition of the driver. Emotional upsets can change drivers’ reactions incorrectly, slow their judgment, and make them blind to the dangers that might otherwise be evident. The experts warn that it is vital for every driver to make a conscious effort to keep his/her emotions under control.
Yet the .irresponsibility; that accounts for much of the problem isn't only put upon drivers. Street walkers regularly ignore or break traffic regulations. They are blamed in most vehicle walker accidents, and many cyclists even believe that they are not subject to the basic rules of the road.
Significant legal advances have been made towards safer driving in the past few years. Safety standards for vehicles have been raised both at the point of manufacture and through regular road inspections. In addition, speed limits have been lowered. Due to these measures, the accident rate has decreased. But the accident experts still worry because there has been little or no improvement in the way drivers behave. The only real and lasting solution, say the experts, is to make people believe that driving is a skilled task requiring constant care and concentration. Those who fail to do all these things present a threat to those with whom they share the road.

An American man who received the nation’s first full face transplant has married a fellow burns victim at the site where he was injured.

Dallas Wiens, 27, married Jamie Nash, 29, at a Texas church where a severe electrical accident destroyed his face and eyesight in 2008 as he was making repairs to a window, reports The Dallas Morning News.

The couple met in 2011 at Parkland Memorial Hospital in Fort Worth while participating in a support group for burns victims. Wiens had spent months in the hospital after his accident at Ridglea Baptist Church, in which his head touched a high-voltage power line. Doctors there skillfully made a featureless face for him that qualified him to receive a full-face transplant in a Boston hospital. Wiens has already undergone more than 30 surgeries to restore function and form to his face.

Nash received burns to 70 per cent of her body in a car trash in 2010, after texting while driving. She wore a pink gown for the ceremony that exposed the scarring on her back and arms. Both the bride and groom have been married before and have three children, aged 5, 6 and 10, between them.

“Things happened that I didn’t think ever could be possible for me, and you made them possible,” Nash said, during the ceremony. “You gave me hope, and you gave me tender love that I will always treasure.”

The groom, Dallas Wiens, became the first in the nation to receive a full-face transplant after a 2008 power line accident.

The couple made their way for the wedding aisle to Bruno Mars’ Just the Way You Are.

“I think their confidence in their healing process and getting better just made them a perfect match,” said Ethan Gloger, a wedding guest and member of the administrative staff in Parkland’s burn unit.
