CNN News:千萬不要邊開車邊發(fā)短信

According to textinganddrivingsafety.com, our eyes are off the road for at least five seconds whenever we text and drive. So, at 55 miles per hour, it`s like driving the length of the football field without looking.

根據(jù)textinganddrivingsafety.com網(wǎng)站的調查表明，當我們在邊開車邊發(fā)短信的時候，至少有5秒鐘的時間是不看路的。所以，按照汽車每小時前行55英里，相當于我們閉著眼睛開過了一個足球場的長度。
