Teenage drivers are still the most likely to crash, according to a new study. The Highway Safety Association (HSA) in the USA found that teen drivers are 1.6 times more likely to be in a traffic accident than adult drivers. Teens aged 18 to 19 are the likeliest to be in a fatal crash. They are in more deadly car collisions than even 15- to 17-year-old drivers. The HSA said recent figures show an increase in teen driver deaths for the first time since 2006. HSA spokesman Jonathan Adkins said: "This report drives home the message that there is still much to do to reduce teen driver fatal crashes and the resulting deaths." He added: "The increase in teen driver fatal crashes is concerning and [we] are keeping a watchful eye."

根據(jù)一項(xiàng)新的研究，青少年司機(jī)仍然是最可能出車禍的人群。美國公路安全協(xié)會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)，青少年駕車者比成年駕車者出交通事故的可能性高1.6倍。18至19歲的青年是最可能發(fā)生致命車禍的人群。他們甚至比15歲到17歲的青少年更可能發(fā)生致命車禍。公路安全協(xié)會(huì)表示，最新數(shù)字顯示，青少年駕車死亡人數(shù)自2006年以來首次有所增加。公路安全協(xié)會(huì)發(fā)言人Jonathan Adkins表示：“該報(bào)告?zhèn)鬟_(dá)的信息是，要減少青少年致命車禍和由此導(dǎo)致的死亡仍有許多工作要做。”他補(bǔ)充說：“青少年駕車者致命車禍數(shù)量的增加非常令人擔(dān)憂，我們一直非常警惕。”

The HSA has been working with the Ford motor company in a special Driving Skills for Life program. This first launched in the USA and has since expanded to 35 countries worldwide. It helps new drivers recognize road hazards and teaches them how to be safer drivers. Jim Graham, Global Manager for the Driving Skills for Life program, said: "Smart programs that focus on teen driving behavior have been very successful in helping novice and younger drivers be safer on the roads, but we still have more to do." The greatest chance of crashing is in the first six months after teens get their license. It's understandable why parents worry so much about their teen passing their driving test.

公路安全協(xié)會(huì)與福特汽車公司一直在進(jìn)行一項(xiàng)特別的安全節(jié)能駕駛訓(xùn)練項(xiàng)目。該項(xiàng)目首先在美國進(jìn)行，后來拓展至全世界35個(gè)國家。該項(xiàng)目幫助駕車新手認(rèn)識(shí)道路危險(xiǎn)，教給他們?nèi)绾纬蔀楦踩乃緳C(jī)。安全節(jié)能駕駛訓(xùn)練項(xiàng)目全球負(fù)責(zé)人Jim Graham表示：“專注青少年駕車行為的精英項(xiàng)目成功地幫助新手和年輕司機(jī)在道路上更加安全，但是我們?nèi)杂性S多工作要做。”最容易發(fā)生車禍的是青少年剛剛拿到駕照的最初六個(gè)月。所以，家長如此擔(dān)憂孩子通過駕駛考試也是可以理解的了。
