弗吉尼亚州车管局启动分心驾驶宣传 今年已近1.2万起分心驾驶车祸致93人死亡
弗吉尼亚州车管局（DMV）11月9日星期一启动最新一轮分心驾驶宣传活动，提醒司机开车时放下手机、注视前方，尤其针对年轻司机。
这支30秒公益广告借鉴心理惊悚片的拍法，先呈现看似正常的日常生活场景，随后转向出人意料的惊险走向。车管局局长桑德拉·杰克在随活动发布的声明中表示，广告意在提醒所有司机注意分心驾驶的后果。车管局的初步数据显示，今年以来弗吉尼亚州已发生近1.2万起因分心驾驶导致的车祸，造成93人死亡、816人受伤，其中一成车祸与司机发短信或低头看手机有关。车管局表示，此次宣传紧随此前一轮以弗吉尼亚州知名运动员为主角的分心驾驶宣传活动，其中包括出身霍普韦尔、现效力新英格兰爱国者队的跑卫特雷维永·亨德森。更多分心驾驶信息可查阅车管局官网的分心驾驶专页。分心驾驶已成为弗吉尼亚州道路安全的持续隐患，车管局希望通过这则广告让司机意识到，低头看一眼手机就可能酿成无法挽回的后果。
Virginia DMV Launches Distracted Driving Campaign; Nearly 12,000 Distraction Crashes and 93 Deaths This Year
The Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) launched its latest distracted driving campaign on Monday, November 9, urging drivers to put down their phones and keep their eyes on the road, with a particular focus on young drivers.
The 30-second public service announcement borrows the style of a psychological thriller, opening with seemingly normal everyday scenes before turning to a startling outcome. DMV Commissioner Sandra Jack said in a statement released with the campaign that the ad is meant to remind all drivers of the consequences of distracted driving. Preliminary DMV data show nearly 12,000 crashes caused by distracted driving in Virginia so far this year, killing 93 people and injuring 816; one in ten of the crashes involved a driver texting or looking down at a phone. The DMV said the campaign follows an earlier distracted-driving effort featuring well-known Virginia athletes, including Hopewell native TreVeyon Henderson, now a running back for the New England Patriots. More information is available on the DMV website’s distracted driving page. Distracted driving remains a persistent hazard on Virginia roads, and the DMV hopes the ad will make drivers realize that a single glance at a phone can have irreversible consequences.
