Driving cars, trucks and motorcycles is an important part of our lives. We do it every day to get to work, to school or to friends' houses.

The annual death rate from traffic accidents in Taiwan is twice that of Japan.

參考解析： 參考譯文
開小汽車、卡車以及摩托車是我們生活的一個重要部分。我們每天都要開車去工作、上學或者拜訪朋友。
開車的確很方便，但是開車也容易引起很多問題。等紅燈等得不耐煩了，司機可能會變得沒有耐性而直接闖紅燈。如果碰巧有另一輛車從對面駛來，則可能會釀成交通事故。從其他司機面前橫穿過去會讓對方惱火導致對方也這樣做。結果所有人都很不耐煩地這樣做。
全世界每年死于車禍的人數以百萬計。僅臺灣，每天死于車禍的人就不少于7人。臺灣年交通事故死亡率是日本的兩倍。要讓交通平安順暢運行.每個人都要遵守交通規則。開車之前.要學會所有的交通規則。只有遵守交通規則的駕駛才是安全、方便甚至有趣的!
