这倒是。我刚上路那会儿经常被吓得直冒冷汗。上了高架怕追尾，下了高架怕撞人。有些人过马路根本不看有没有斑马线，也不关心红绿灯，想过就过。我有一次就差点儿撞到了一个老人，害得我一个星期都不敢摸方向盘。
zhèdàoshì 。wǒ gāng shànglù nà huìr jīngcháng bèi xiàde zhí mào lěnghàn 。shàng le gāojià pà zhuīwěi ，xià le gāojià pà zhuàngrén 。yǒuxiērén guò mǎlù gēnběn bù kàn yǒu méiyǒu bānmǎxiàn ，yě bù guānxīn hónglǜdēng ，xiǎng guò jiù guò 。wǒ yǒu yīcì jiù chàdiǎnr zhuàngdào le yī ge lǎorén ，hài de wǒ yī ge xīngqī dōu bùgǎn mō fāngxiàngpán 。
That is true. When I first started driving I would often get so freaked out I would break out in a cold sweat. When I got on the elevated road I would worry about getting rear-ended, and when I got off I would worry I was going to hit someone. Some people don’t even look to see if there's a crosswalk when they cross the street and don't pay attention to traffic lights; if they want to cross, they just cross. I nearly hit an elderly person once. I was so scared that I couldn’t even touch a steering wheel for a week.
