Motorists worried about knocking down distracted pedestrians should keep their eyes particularly open at 8.38am each morning, the Daily Mail reported.

For that is the specific time when people crossing the road -- usually heading to work -- are concentrating more on their smart-phones and other electronic gadgets than on the traffic around them.

Instead of watching out for cars as they cross, they are too busy phoning, texting, tweeting, surfing the internet, playing games or even updating their Facebook accounts.

早上8:38车祸最危险时刻

       据英国《每日邮报》报道,司机最担心会撞到走神的行人,而每天司机最需要集中注意力驾驶的时间是早晨8点38分。

       在这个特别时刻过马路的行人,他们通常是在上班的路上,他们更专注于手里的智能手机和其它电子设备,而不会注意周围的车辆。

       在过马路时,他们不是在看车辆,而是忙于打电话、发短信、发微博、上网、打游戏,甚至更新脸谱账户状态。
