at every traffic ticket leads to a reduction in accidents. But the statistics suggest a correlation between the number of citations and the number of fatalities.Р研究者们承认在他们的研究中有一些漏洞。统计数字不包括有可能在省外某地出严重交通事故的安大略省司机。他们也不能说每张交通罚单都能降低事故率。但是数据显示交通罚单的数量和死亡率之间呈相关性。РThey also point out that the innocent are often made to pay the price for careless drivers.Р他们还指出为粗心大意的司机付出代价的经常是那些无辜受害者。Р"Unlike mon diseases, the victims are often young and need significant subsequent care for decades. Most crashes are unintended, unexpected, and could have been prevented by a small difference in driver behavior."Р“和其他常见病不一样,受害人通常很年轻,需要以后几十年连续不断的照顾。大多数事故是无意的,意料之外的,只要司机在驾驶上稍有不同就能避免。” РSo the next time you see that cop in your rear-view mirror, give him, or her, a broad smile.Р因此下次你要是在后视镜里看见那位警察,一定要对他/她热情微笑。РYeah, right.
