问题     Auto crashes have decreased in recent years, but the number of deaths in crashes still averages around 40,000 every year. A much higher number of crashes result in permanent disability. Because car crashes are usually caused by human errors, it is always necessary to remind drivers of the following safety tips:
    Avoid distractions—Safe driving takes concentration. If a driver is talking on a mobile phone, the driver is not paying enough attention to the road. Distracted driving is a factor in 25 to 30 percent of all traffic crashes.
    Take extra care in wild weather—Sometimes, bad weather conditions will contribute to an accident by interfering with visibility or making it difficult to keep the car under control. A driver always should take the effects of the weather, such as strong winds or slippery roads, into consideration when driving.
    Avoid sleepiness—Sleepy driving causes more than 100,000 crashes each year, resulting in 40,000 injuries and 1,550 deaths on average. On summer road trips, set realistic goals for the traveling distance each day. Stop at regular intervals when driving long distances.
    Keep a good mood—Reduce stress on the road by allowing plenty of time for travel, planning your route in advance, and altering your route to avoid over-crowded roads. Remember not to challenge aggressive(咄咄逼人) drivers and stay far away from them.
    Keep your car well maintained—Ultimately, safety also depends on the maintenance of your car. Ensure that car brakes, tires, lights and battery are in good working order. [br] Which of the following statements is true according to Paragraph 4?
