Driving gives you the freedom to get around — but it also involves certain risks.
When you’re in the driver’s seat, you need to focus on the task of driving, make good driving decisions and look out for the safety of others.
This chapter will help you think about the choices you can make as a driver to help keep yourself and others safe.
驾驶使您可以自由出行–但同时也带来某些风险。
当您坐在驾驶员座位上时，您需要专注于驾驶任务，制定良好的驾驶决策并注意他人的安全。
本章将帮助您考虑作为驱动程序可以做出的选择，以帮助自己和他人安全。

Be a thinking driver成为思想驱动者

You in the driver’s seat – part 1
You’ve had your driver’s licence for eight months now, and you’ve become a pretty good driver. This morning you need to take the car in by 9 a.m. for an oil change, and then pick up a friend who lives in the country. You both need to be back in town by noon. You’re not sure if you have enough time.
As you were leaving the house, you had an argument with your roommate. Now you’re feeling angry and pressed for time.

您坐在驾驶席上–第1部分
您已经有八个月的驾照了，而且您已经成为一名非常出色的司机。 今天早上您需要在早上9点前把车上来换油，
然后接一个住在乡下的朋友。 您都需要在中午之前回到镇上。 您不确定是否你有足够的时间。
当你离开家时，你有一个争论和你的室友。 现在你生气了时间紧迫。

You have to make many choices as a driver. You have to choose the best route to get to your destination, and decide how much time you need to get there. You have to make decisions about the safety of your passengers, especially if you’re caught in a dangerous situation. You have to decide how much risk to take. And you need to make sure you can focus on driving before you get behind the wheel. A thinking driver puts safety first. Smart driving is about making choices that help keep you and others safe. The choices you make determine what kind of driver you will be.

作为司机，您必须做出许多选择。 你必须选择到达目的地的最佳路线，并决定多少您需要到达那里的时间。 您必须做出以下决定乘客的安全，特别是如果您被困在危险情况。 您必须决定承担多少风险。而且您需要确保可以专注于驾驶之前你会落后。有思想的驾驶员将安全放在第一位。 智能驾驶是关于有助于您和他人安全的选择。 您的选择确定您将成为哪种类型的驾驶员。

A thinking driver chooses to:
• be fit to drive
• make good decisions
• take responsibility.

思维驱动者选择：
•适合开车
•做出正确的决定
• 承担责任。

Be fit to drive适合开车

You in the driver’s seat – part 2
It usually takes you 25 minutes to drive across town to the garage. When you leave home, it’s 8:45 a.m. To make matters worse, the traffic is heavy, slowing you down even more. You find yourself swearing under your breath. And you are getting angrier about what your roommate said. You feel so frustrated that you notice you’re having trouble concentrating on your driving.
What choice would you make?

您坐在驾驶员座位上–第2部分
通常，您驾车25分钟即可到达市区车库。 当您离开家时，是上午8:45，更糟糕的是，交通繁忙，减慢了您的速度下降更多。 你发现自己在你的下咒骂呼吸。 而且您对自己的所作所为感到愤怒，室友说。 你感到非常沮丧，以至于注意到您无法专心驾驶。
您会选择什么？

You need to be in good shape to drive — alert and able to focus. Feeling angry or frustrated can cloud your judgment and slow down your reaction time. You also need to avoid driving if you have an injury or illness that makes it hard for you to think clearly or quickly. Never drive when you are overtired. Even if you don’t fall asleep, it’s hard to respond quickly when you feel tired. A driver who is impaired by drugs or alcohol is one of the worst driving hazards. This is because drugs and alcohol cause mental confusion and slow reaction times. Impaired drivers are much more likely to cause crashes that lead to serious injury or death.

您需要保持良好状态才能开车-机警并能够焦点。 感到生气或沮丧会掩盖您的判断力，减慢您的反应时间。
如果您受伤或生病，也需要避免开车，这使您难以清晰或快速地思考。 永不开车，当你劳累的时候。 即使您没有入睡，也很难，感到疲倦时迅速做出反应。受到毒品或酒精伤害的驾驶员是最严重的驾驶员之一驾驶危险。 这是因为毒品和酒精会导致精神混乱和反应时间慢。 受损的司机很多更有可能导致坠机事故，从而导致严重伤害或死亡。

Make good decisions做出正确的决定

You have to make quick and accurate decisions when you drive. Will you be tempted to run a yellow light because you are in a hurry? Will you take your eyes off the road, to send a text message while driving? Will you take a chance and drive after you’ve been drinking? Being a safe driver requires learning, planning, predicting and thinking for yourself.

您开车时必须做出快速而准确的决定。
因为您在，您是否会被引诱泛黄？
着急？ 您能否将视线移开，发送短信
开车时留言？ 你会抓住机会开车吗
你一直在喝酒吗？ 做一个安全的驾驶员需要学习，
自己计划，预测和思考。

Keep learning保持学习

You in the driver’s seat – part 3
As you’re driving, you spot a playground sign. You know you have to slow down, but you can’t remember when the playground speed limits are in effect. The sign doesn’t say. Is the playground speed limit in effect today as you are driving through the playground? You can’t remember for certain.
What choice would you make next time?

您坐在驾驶员座位上–第3部分
在驾车时，您会看到一个游乐场标志。 您
知道你必须放慢脚步，但是你不记得了
当运动场速度限制生效时。 标志
不说。 操场限速今天生效吗
当您开车穿过操场吗？ 你不能
一定要记住。
下次您会选择什么？

You’re reading this guide to learn about driving. This is the first step in becoming a good driver. You’ll also spend time practising your driving skills, and may even take professional driver training to enhance your learning. But it’s important to keep on learning even after you have your licence. It will take time for you to gain driving experience. You’ll continually learn how to handle new driving situations and conditions and will need to keep informed about changing vehicle technology. You’ll also need to learn about changes that are made to the rules and regulations of the road. Your skills as a driver will also change. As you gain experience, your skills will increase, but you may become overconfident and too automatic in your driving. Health problems could affect your ability to drive safely. Throughout your driving years, it’s important for you to be honest with yourself about your skills and your readiness to drive. Remember that driver education courses are available for beginning and experienced drivers. Choose one that is right for you (see chapter 9 — your licence).

您坐在驾驶席上–第5部分
您开得太快，却忘了看路况，下一个十字路口亮起。 突然你发现自己来到十字路口，灯光已经变成黄色。
下次您会选择什么？

As a driver, you need to be aware of cues in the driving
environment: signs, signals and road markings.

Paying attention to these cues helps you predict what could happen so you’re prepared to respond.

It’s also important to predict what other road users —pedestrians, other drivers, motorcycle riders and cyclists — might do.

You can predict what might happen by carefully observing
the driving scene around you.

Being aware of what others around you are doing will help you to make better driving choices.

作为驾驶员，您需要注意驾驶中的提示环境：标志，信号和道路标记。
注意这些提示可以帮助您预测可能发生的情况，以便您做好应对的准备。
预测其他道路使用者（行人，其他驾驶员，摩托车骑士和骑自行车的人）可能会做什么也很重要。
您可以通过仔细观察来预测可能发生的情况您周围的驾驶场景。
了解周围其他人在做什么，将帮助您做出更好的驾驶选择。

Think for yourself为自己考虑;为自己想

You in the driver’s seat – part 6
There’s one more intersection before the garage.
You have to turn left and there is no advance green arrow.
You’ve sat through this light at other times because the traffic is always heavy here.
You become more frustrated as you wait to turn. Cars are lined up behind you with their left-turn signals flashing.
The driver behind is starting to honk at you.
You see a space but hesitate because you’re not sure if the gap is big enough for you to make your turn.
What choice would you make?

后面的司机开始向你鸣喇叭。
您看到一个空格，但犹豫了，因为您不确定差距是否足够大，可以转弯。
您会选择什么？

Another part of making good choices is knowing yourself and understanding the influences that shape your driving.
Influences from other drivers — at times you will feel pressure
from other drivers, and you’ll have to decide what to do.
Will you base your driving decisions on safety or will you allow other drivers to pressure you into doing something that might be unsafe?

做出明智选择的另一部分是了解自己并了解影响驾驶的因素。
来自其他驱动程序的影响-有时您会感到压力
从其他司机那里，您将不得不决定怎么做。
您会基于安全性做出驾驶决策，还是会允许其他驾驶员向您施加压力，要求他们做一些不安全的事情？

Influences from the media
— think of the images of cars and driving in ads and movies. Do these images generally promote safe driving?
媒体的影响-想想汽车和
驾驶广告和电影。 这些图像通常会促进吗安全驾驶？

Influences from peers
— other people can influence your driving. Your friends may pressure you to drive faster or to race away from stoplights. You may think it will impress them if you turn up the volume on your car stereo system.
来自同龄人的影响-其他人可以影响您的驾驶。 您的朋友可能会迫使您开车或比赛
远离红绿灯。 您可能会认为，如果您这样做会给他们留下深刻的印象调高汽车立体声系统的音量。

You in the driver’s seat – part 7
You’ve been to the garage and now you’re on your way to your friend’s place. You’re relieved because it seems you have enough time after all. Then you notice a large truck ahead that’s going pretty slowly. You hate passing trucks, especially on a narrow road like this one.
