(2015·河北七校高三联合考试)High heels,coffee cups and dogs have been regarded as three of the most dangerous things to have in a car.
While men were responsible for the greater number of accidents reported,women played their part by driving in high heels.Putting fashion over function meant 44 percent of female motorists had been prevented from using the pedals correctly by their high heels.
Being keen on a caffeine kick while driving can also create an accident if they leave empty coffee cups lying around their vehicles.Twenty percent of those surveyed admitted they had crashed their cars or had a near miss after a deserted coffee cup or an empty drink bottle rolled under their brake pedals.
However,it is not just wearing and eating that cause a threat from inside the car; man’s best friend could also cause a catastrophe if not safely secured.One in eight motorists claimed to have had a scrape(擦伤) or miss on the road due to their dogs’ wandering freely,climbing into the front seat or trying to escape through the windows.
