Brother, isn’t driving slower on the highway safer?

Not really, 小宝. On highways, if a car goes very slowly and stays in the fast lane, it becomes hard for everyone to drive safely.

小宝

Why is that? If you go slower, wouldn’t you avoid crashes?

小刚

Because other cars are moving fast. A slow car is like a small stone on the road—others can’t avoid it easily, and accidents can happen.

You should match the speed of traffic and stay focused—don’t look at your phone or do distracting things. That’s how it’s safe.

Got it! When I grow up and drive, I’ll follow the rules and not cause trouble for others.
