In a bid to convince drivers in Aichi Prefecture to keep their hands on the wheel and their eyes on the road, a new Japanese smartphone app offers free coffee coupons to drivers who don’t check their phones for at least 100 km. 为了督促爱知县的司机认真开车看路，日本新推出一款智能手机App，向那些开车100公里以上不看手机的司机提供免费咖啡券。 For the last 13 years, Aichi Prefecture has recorded the highest rate of traffic fatalities in Japan. Last year, there were 443,691 accidents that resulted in injuries or deaths, and 50,101 arrests involving the use of smartphones while driving. With handhelds becoming such a big part of people’s lives, there appears to be an increase in violations of this nature, and authorities have yet to come up with an effective plan to combat the problem. 过去13年中，爱知县的交通死亡率一直居日本首位。去年443691例交通事故死亡中，就有50101例是由于驾驶时使用智能手机造成的。随着手机在人们生活中地位的提升，由此引发的交通事故也越来越多。但截至目前为止，官方还未提出有效计划来解决这一问题。 |
