馬路如虎口，行人當心走；十次車禍九次快，這些都是形容交通事故的諺語。實際上交通事故的發生確實相當的多，而且重大的車禍會造成相當嚴重的財產與人身損害。除了造成嚴重的死傷外，肇事者需要賠償的金額也可能高達千萬以上，更不用說應負擔的刑事責任。
要確保用路安全的方法就是不要貪快，集中精神注意前方及周遭的動靜與路況，無論是行人或是車輛都一樣，不要以為自己占有路權別人或是別的交通工具就會讓你，萬一對方疏失造成車禍時，造成傷害往往不是法律或金錢可以彌補的。
As the saying goes, “The road is as dangerous as a tiger’s mouth; pedestrians must walk with caution,” and “Nine out of ten traffic accidents are caused by speeding.” These proverbs aptly describe the frequency of traffic accidents. In reality, traffic incidents occur very often, and serious collisions can result in significant property damage and personal injury. In severe cases, not only can they cause grave injury or death, but the compensation owed by the at-fault party may exceed tens of millions, in addition to the criminal liability that must be borne.
The best way to ensure road safety is to avoid speeding, remain focused, and stay aware of the surroundings and road conditions. This applies equally to both pedestrians and drivers. One should never assume that having the right of way guarantees that others or other vehicles will yield. When negligence leads to an accident, the harm caused is often something that neither the law nor money can truly remedy.
