新奇事件簿 司機因拍攝車禍現(xiàn)場而遭到起訴

British police are prosecuting four motorists for slowing down on a busy highway to take photos of a crash scene. It will be the first time for drivers in Britain to face prosecution for "rubbernecking" – the act of looking back at a grisly scene, usually while driving a car. The four rubberneckers slowed down to snap shots of a crash on the other side of the road. Drivers behind them were forced to brake to avoid hitting the rubberneckers. Police at the scene said the photo-taking motorists had been "acting irresponsibly" in slowing down to use their mobile phones to take photos. They will be charged with driving without due care and attention and without reasonable consideration for other road users.

英國警察起訴四名汽車司機，由于他們在忙碌的高速公路上行駛時，為拍攝車禍現(xiàn)場照片而減速。這是英國首次對司機的“好奇心”而起訴，因為司機在開車時，出于“好奇心”而扭頭看后面的恐怖現(xiàn)場。四名好奇的司機，為了拍攝道路另一邊的車禍現(xiàn)場而減速。他們后面的司機不得不剎車來避免撞上拍照司機的車輛。現(xiàn)場警察表示，四名司機的行為——他們用自己的手機拍照，并降低車速——是沒有責任心的。他們將受到指控，控告依據(jù)是“開車的時候，沒有做到應有的專注，并且沒有顧忌其他道路使用者的安全。”

Police officer Shelley Holloway spoke to journalists about the incident. She said: "Thankfully nobody was injured in the collision. However the actions of several motorists who drove through the scene showed no regard for their own or of other people's safety, as they used their mobile phones to record or video the wreckage as they passed. In doing so, they were not in proper control of their vehicle. They slowed down causing motorists behind them to brake or take evasive action and slow the flow of traffic that was already heavily congested." She added that: "One of the causes of serious injury and fatal collisions is the use of mobile telephones." She urged motorists to lock their phones away when driving.

謝莉警官對記者說明了這一事件。她說，在車禍中幸虧沒有人受傷。然而，一些從車禍現(xiàn)場經(jīng)過的司機的行為，卻沒有顧忌其他人的安危，因為他們在開車經(jīng)過的時候，用手機拍照或者錄下車禍現(xiàn)場情景。這樣做的時候，他們就不能很好地控制車輛。他們的減速，導致后面的司機不得不剎車或者避讓，從而使原本擁堵的交通更加緩慢。她還補充說道，導致重傷或者致命車禍發(fā)生的原因之一就是使用手機。她勸告司機的開車的時候把自己手機鎖起來。
