CNN News: 駕駛經(jīng)驗會拯救你的生命

You know what you`re supposed to do when you`re driving and the light turns yellow, when a sign says yield, when you see an emergency responsible vehicle behind you. But what when there`s an obstacle on the inner state or if your car goes into a skid?

開車時，交通燈變成黃色，或者看到自己車后是救護車，你知道應(yīng)該怎樣做。但是，當(dāng)車出現(xiàn)內(nèi)部故障或者車在打滑的時候，你會怎么做呢?

To help teach people how to deal with that, a former race car driver named Jeff Payne founded a nonprofit defensive driving program called Driver`s Edge. He`s today`s "Character Study".

為了幫助人們怎樣應(yīng)對上述局面，前賽車手杰夫·佩恩成立了一個非營利的防御性駕駛培訓(xùn)計劃——“司機的邊緣”。他今天是“角色學(xué)習(xí)”的主角。

SUBTITLE: Car accidents are the leading cause of death among teenagers in America.

在美國，車禍?zhǔn)菍?dǎo)致青少年死亡的最大殺手。

JEFF PAYNE, CNN HERO: All these kids are dying on our roadways. Families are affected every single day. None of us are really ever taught how to drive. We`re just taught to pass a test.

這些孩子都死于交通事故。每一天都會有家庭受到影響。我們都沒有真正學(xué)習(xí)過如何去駕駛，而是僅僅學(xué)習(xí)了如何去通過一個考試。

Most drivers were never educated on what to do in that emergency situation. I was simply frustrated with the number of kids that are being killed and the number of little white cross that you see along the highway.

大多數(shù)司機都沒有接受過緊急情況教育。交通事故導(dǎo)致死亡孩子的數(shù)量以及路上救護車的數(shù)量讓我感到非常的沮喪。

We hope you all at least come in here with the attitude that you don`t know what you don`t know, and you never stop learning.

我們希望，所有來到這里的人們都有著這樣的態(tài)度，盡管對自己不知道的事情一無所知，但從未停止過學(xué)習(xí)。

So, I started a free program that would get young drivers behind the wheel and better prepare them for all the hazards that you face out there.

所以，我建立了這個免費的項目，希望能讓這些年輕的司機在面對危險時，能準(zhǔn)備的更加充分。

We actually put young drivers skid control exercises, panic braking exercises, the basic lane change movers. Experiences aren`t traditionally car driver`s education, but that could actually save your life one day out there on the roads.

實際上，我們讓這些年輕的司機進行打滑控制練習(xí)、恐慌剎車練習(xí)、基本的變換車道。經(jīng)驗并不等同于傳統(tǒng)的司機教育，但是在未來的某一天，你在道路上行駛時，經(jīng)驗會拯救你的生命。
