阅读理解     Under Ohio law, a driver can have 12 points' worth of violations within two years before his license is automatically suspended(失效). That is, he could be caught going 30 miles over the limit three times or cause several accidents resulting in careless-driving charges before losing the right to drive. Should he commit vehicular manslaughter(驾车过失杀人), his license would  be suspended, but he could get it back in as little as six months. Other states have similarly forgiving laws. Considering that 94 percent of crashes involve some form of driver error or injury immediately before crashes you have to wonder. Are we too tolerant of bad driving-or is the problem more basic? Are we, as humans, simply not suitable for the task?     According to one analysis, 4 million of the nearly 11 million crashes that occur yearly could potentially be avoided if distractions (使人分心的事物) were removed. But instead, we actively seek out distractions, like texting. Analysis of 28 studies confirms that typing or reading on our phones while driving badly affects reaction time, vehicle control, and, yes, collision rate. Some researchers have concluded that texting while driving may cause more of an accident risk than driving either under the influence of marijuana(大麻) or at the legal alcohol limit. And, contrary to a generally accepted idea, teenagers aren't the primary offenders: A survey of more than 2, 000 adults suggests that they are just as likely as teens to have texted behind the wheel, and much more likely to have talked on their cellphone.     That isn't to say we're all equally bad in the driver's seat. Perhaps unsurprisingly, people who report becoming angry while driving are more likely than others to behave recklessly(不计后果地)on the road. So are people who drive fancy cars.  In one pair of studies, researchers observed that drivers of expensive cars were less likely than those with older, less expensive, or beat-up vehicles to give way to other drivers and pedestrians.     Driverless cars are looking better and better. They won't text with each other, or get angry. And they won't cut you off just for the hell of it. （1） If a driver is going 70 mph in a 40 mph zone in Ohio, how many points may he lose?
