Traffic Safety Tips

If you are among those who think that traffic safety tips are something that need to be given to children and not adults, you are so very young. Being an adult, it is our responsibility to set a good example for others. Remember when you are driving a car with your teenaged son or daughter sitting next to you, he or she is watching you and observing how you drive. So make sure that you follow all the necessary traffic rules to set a good example. Some of the effective traffic safety tips are mentioned below.

Put Your Seat Belt On

The first thing that you are supposed to do, and make sure that others in the car also do, is to put your seat belt on. In case there is a child in the car between the age of 4 and 8, a booster seat（儿童座椅）should be used as safety belts are not meant for small children and cannot protect them in case of accidents. Kids under the age of 12 should never sit on the front seat.

1.________________

Do you drive, listen to music, eat your sandwich and speak on the phone all at the same time? If you do this, you are not displaying your super powers but allowing multiple things to distract you. Once you are driving, be it alone or with your friends and family, you are responsible for everyone

present in the car. So stop doing other things and focus on driving safe.

2._________________

Teenagers and young adults especially, don’t realize the risks they are putting themselves into. Alcohol influences your mood and mind and may not give you the judgment and control that you need to have when driving safe. Even smoking should be avoided and drugs should not be consumed if you are planning to drive.

3._________________

Driving under pressure with your mind occupied with issues at work or at home would easily allow you to distract your mind off the road leading to an accident. So make sure that you don’t let the things outside your car affect you when you are in the car. Sleep properly and stay relaxed before hitting the road.

4._________________

Your emotions or impatience may make you break the signal at times. Or break the speed limit because you are getting late. Don’t do that! The consequences for that may actually be enough to separate you from your driver’s license on a permanent basis. Make sure you obey the traffic rules and guidelines and do all to be a responsible citizen.

5. _________________

Last but not the least, keep your car in good condition. Make sure you are giving your car for servicing and maintenance on time. Make sure you always check your vehicle tires before hitting the road and don’t run out of gas!

So these were some of the main traffic safety tips that should be followed by one and all in order to stay safe and be an example for others. Remember, rules and regulations are made for your own benefit and safety. So make sure that you obey them. Take care and have a safe ride.

  We often hear the saying，“You’ve a greater chance of being struck by lightning than. . . ”It is used to describe something that hasn’t got much chance of happening．However，this common saying undermines(削弱)the very real danger of lightning.

Last Friday，at least five people were killed by lightning in Nepal. Lightning strikes are the second most common cause of deaths among natural disasters in the US.  The first is floods．Around 400 people nationwide are struck by lightning each year，and of those，about 73 people die．More people are killed by lightning than by tornados and hurricanes．

  Because lightning kills only one or two people at a time,  its danger does not receive as much attention as other disasters.

  To raise awareness(意识)of the damage of lightning the US has made June 22~28 National Lightning Safety Week,  it aims to warn the public of the danger of lightning and provide safety tips about what to do during thunderstorms.

“If you can hear thunder(雷)，you are in danger of being struck by lightning，”said Rocky Lopes，a disaster educator at the American Red Cross.

  “Thunder means that lightning is close enough to hit you at any minute,  so you should move indoors immediately and stay there until the storm has ended.  The single most important thing to remember is to find a hiding place，”Lopes said.

   Summer is the time for most lightning storms，so when lightning strikes across the sky，remember these safety tips：stop working，fishing，swimming or playing in an open area.

If you count less than ten seconds between the thunder and the lightning flash,  take cover inside the nearest building．If that is not possible,  follow these instructions．

       Do not stand under a tree.

       Do not use a mobile phone.

      Get off bicycles or motorcycles．

      Crouch(蹲下) down if there is no hiding place．

67. On average，about_______ of people struck by lightning die as a result.

Tayka Hotel De Sal

How much: About $95 a night
Why it’s cool: You’ve stayed at hotels made of brick or wood, but salt? That’s something few can claim．Tayka Hotel de Sal is made totally of salt—including the beds (though you’ll sleep on regular mattresses (床垫) and blankets)．The hotel sits on the Salar de Uyuni, a prehistoric dried-up lake that’s the world’s biggest salt flat．Builders use the salt from the 4,633-square-mile flat to make the bricks, and glue them together with a paste of wet salt that hardens when it dries．When rain starts to dissolve the hotel, the owners just mix up more salt paste to strengthen the bricks.
Green Magic Nature Resort

How much: About $240 a night
Why it’s cool: Ridding a pulley(滑轮)-operated lift 86 feet to your treetop room is just the start of your adventure．As you look out of your open window—there is no glass!—you watch monkeys and birds in the rain forest canopy．Later you might test your fear of heights by crossing the handmade rope bridge to the main part of the hotel, or just sit on your bamboo bed and read．You don’t even have to come down for breakfast—the hotel will send it up on the pulley-drawn “elevator”.
Dog Bark Park Inn B&B
Where: Cottonwood, Idaho
How much: $92 a night
Why it’s cool: This doghouse isn’t just for the family pet．Sweet Willy is a 30-foot-tall dog with guest rooms in his belly．Climb the wooden stairs beside his hind leg to enter the door in his side．You can relax in the main bedroom, go up a ffew steps ot the loft in Willy’s head, or hang out inside his nose．Cotta “go”(想要方便一下)? Although you have a full private bathroom in your quarters, there is also a toilet in the 12-foot-tall fire hydrant outside.
Gamirasu Cave Hotel
Where: Ayvali, Turkey
How much: Between $130 and $475 a night.
