肯塔基州法兰克福 (KT) – 州长安迪·贝希尔 (Andy Beshear) 呼吁肯塔基州所有青少年司机参加安全青少年驾驶挑战赛，争夺 5,000 美元的现金奖励，以改善高速公路安全并减少碰撞事故。

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.

州长与肯塔基州交通内阁 (KYTC) 官员以及富兰克林县高中的 AAA Blue Grass、AAA East Central 和 Cambridge Mobile Telematics 的合作伙伴一起宣布挑战赛开始报名。

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.

过去三年来，肯塔基州道路上发生了超过 47,000 起涉及青少年司机的车祸，造成 13,000 多人受伤和 210 人悲惨死亡。由 KYTC 管理的青少年安全驾驶挑战赛旨在通过鼓励年轻驾驶员养成更好的习惯并保持专注驾驶来改变这一现状。

“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.”

贝希尔说：“作为州长，同时也是我最爱的两个青少年的父亲，确保所有司机在道路上安全是首要任务。” “这项新竞赛是对新司机尽可能安全的积极激励，并赢得现金奖励并被评为肯塔基州最安全的青少年司机。我们希望这一代人成为帮助我们减少事故和死亡人数的领导者。”

“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.”

“提醒年轻驾驶员分心驾驶的危险非常重要，”AAA Blue Grass 公共和政府事务经理 Lori Weaver Hawkins 说道。 “他们现在养成的良好驾驶行为可以在他们的一生中带来安全的驾驶行为。分心驾驶与酒后驾驶一样危险。 AAA Blue Grass 敦促青少年关注道路，确保自己和其他道路使用者现在和未来的安全。”
