Question

【题目】Road signs are placed in special places to make sure of the safety of the drivers. These signs let drivers know how fast to drive. They also tell drivers when and where to turn or not to turn. In order to be a good driver, you should have a good knowledge of what the signs mean. It’s more and more important with the increase of the car ownership(汽车所有量).

A student driver will not be able to get his or her license unless he or she knows what all traffic signs mean. Many student drivers pay no attention to the speed limit sign. If you do not stay close to the speed limit, your driver’s test could end unsuccessfully.

One traffic control device(设施) is a “No Entry” sign. If you notice a “No Entry” sign ahead at the end of the street, you should prepare yourself to make a turn. If you enter a “No Entry” area or if you make a sudden turn, you could fail your driving test.

Another device is the “Stop” sign. Some drivers don’t prepare themselves to come to a stop. They either completely ignore(忽视) the sign or try to come to a stop suddenly. At times, a driver will only slow down without coming to a complete stop.

These mistakes could cause you to fail your driving test. All road and traffic signs should be followed. You should not only obey these rules while taking a driving test, but also obey them anytime when you are driving.
