肯塔基州法蘭克福 (KT) – 州長安迪貝希爾 (Andy Beshear) 呼籲肯塔基州所有青少年司機參加安全青少年駕駛挑戰賽，爭奪 5,000 美元的現金獎勵，以改善高速公路安全並減少碰撞事故。

The governor joined Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) officials and partners from AAA Blue Grass, AAA East Central and Cambridge Mobile Telematics at Franklin County High School to announce the registration start for the challenge.

州長與肯塔基州交通內閣 (KYTC) 官員以及富蘭克林縣高中的 AAA Blue Grass、AAA East Central 和 Cambridge Mobile Telematics 的合作夥伴一起宣布挑戰賽開始報名。

Over the past three years, Kentucky roads have seen more than 47,000 crashes involving teen drivers, resulting in over 13,000 injuries and 210 tragic deaths. The Safe Teen Driving Challenge, managed by KYTC, aims to change that by encouraging young drivers to build better habits and stay focused behind the wheel.

過去三年來，肯塔基州道路上發生了超過 47,000 起涉及青少年駕駛的車禍，造成 13,000 多人受傷和 210 人悲慘死亡。由 KYTC 管理的青少年安全駕駛挑戰賽旨在透過鼓勵年輕駕駛員養成更好的習慣並保持專注駕駛來改變這一現狀。

“As governor, but also as the dad of two teenagers who I love more than anything, making sure all our drivers are safe on the roadways is a top priority,” Beshear said. “This new contest is a positive incentive for new drivers to be as safe as possible and to win a cash prize and be named Kentucky’s safest teen driver. We want this generation to be leaders in helping us have fewer crashes and fatalities.”

貝希爾說：“作為州長，同時也是我最愛的兩個青少年的父親，確保所有司機在道路上安全是首要任務。” 「這項新競賽是對新司機盡可能安全的積極激勵，並贏得現金獎勵並被評為肯塔基州最安全的青少年駕駛者。我們希望這一代人成為幫助我們減少事故和死亡人數的領導者。

“It’s important for young drivers to be reminded of the dangers of driving distracted,” said Lori Weaver Hawkins, AAA Blue Grass public and government affairs manager. “Good driving behaviors they can develop now, can lead to safe driving behaviors throughout their lifetimes. Driving distracted is just as dangerous as driving impaired. AAA Blue Grass urges teens to stay focused on the roadway, keeping themselves and other road users safe now – and in the future.”

「提醒年輕駕駛分心駕駛的危險非常重要，」AAA Blue Grass 公共和政府事務經理 Lori Weaver Hawkins 說。 「他們現在養成的良好駕駛行為可以在他們的一生中帶來安全的駕駛行為。分心駕駛與酒後駕駛一樣危險。 AAA Blue Grass 敦促青少年關注道路，確保自己和其他道路使用者現在和未來的安全。
