Following |
跟车 |
If you stay back from the car in front of you, you will have time to react and stop if you need to. |
保持与前车距离,可以在需要时有时间反应和刹车。 |
If you are too close behind the car ahead of you, you could run into them if they need to stop quickly. This also applies to bicycles and other human-powered vehicles on the road. |
跟车过近时,前车紧急刹车可能会追尾。这同样适用于自行车和其他人力交通工具。 |
You must keep at least eight feet (25 m) between you and the car in front of you for every 16 miles per hour (17 km/h) you are traveling. |
每行驶 16 英里/小时(约 17 公里/小时),与前车应保持至少 8 英尺(约 2.5 米)的距离。 |
You should stay further back if: - Road conditions are bad - You are following a motorcycle or bicycle - You are following drivers who cannot see behind themselves because their view is blocked - You have a heavy load or are pulling a trailer - Someone else is following you too closely - You are following an emergency vehicle (police car, fire truck, ambulance) - You are going up a hill |
在以下情况下应保持更大距离:- 路况不好 - 跟随摩托车或自行车 - 前车视线受阻,看不到后方 - 载重或拖挂挂车 - 后车跟得过近 - 跟随紧急车辆(警车、消防车、救护车) - 上坡行驶 |
Blind Spots |

Big trucks have big blind spots. They cannot see cars close behind them or in front of them. |
大型卡车盲区大,无法看到车前或车后紧贴的车辆。 |
You should stay at least 200 feet (61 m) behind big trucks, and you should not stay in the area beside a truck. |
应保持至少 200 英尺(61 米)的车距,不要停在卡车旁边。 |
If you pass a big truck, wait until you can see both of its headlights in your rearview mirror before you pull back in. |
超车大型卡车时,直到后视镜中能看到其两个前灯再回到原车道。 |
Curves |
弯道 |
Slow down before you enter a curve. This will help you keep control of your car when making a curve. |
进入弯道前减速,有助于保持车辆控制。 |
Some curves have signs that tell you if the curve will be very sharp, or if you should drive very slowly when making them. |
有些弯道设有标志,提示弯道是否很急,或需减速行驶。 |
