How to prevent children from taking accidents?The traffic police emphasized: the safe seat must be used correctly

The child dropped out of the car from the window and fell in the center of the lane. At the critical moment, the rear vehicle compact line blocked the traffic to the child. In the past two days, the news that happened on the streets of Ningbo was swiped on the entire network.

In the heated discussions of netizens, in addition to praising the enthusiastic and loving Ningbo owners, they also paid attention to the safety of children's ride. So, how to prevent similar accidents from happening again? On August 2, the reporter interviewed the Ningbo traffic police department.

"Children will leave the car from the window. In the final analysis, it is due to the negligence of the parents and the weakness of traffic safety. In addition, all parents put their children on a safe seat and firmly fix them, or they are discovering that the child will have the head or the head or When the body extends out of the window, it will not happen in time, and the accident will not happen. "A traffic police said that young children lack a sense of safety and self -protection, and the use of safety seats is the most effective protection measure for children to travel by car.

Studies have shown that the correct use of children's safety seats can reduce the probability of death and injury during a car accident.

my country's newly revised "Protection Law" was officially implemented on June 1, 2021. Article 18 of them clearly stipulate Minors are injured by traffic accidents. " This is the first time that children's seats have been included in national legislation, but it is still in the non -compulsory stage of "should" and "encourage" installation of children's safety seats.

According to the traffic police, although more and more car families have purchased children's safety seats, in their lives, the traffic police also found that the usage rate of children's safety seats is not high. Asked the reason, a large part of the parents believe that if you take a car for a long time or on the highway, you will allow your child to take a safe seat and travel short -distance travel in the city. Safety.

"This is a manifestation of a lack of safety awareness!" The traffic police criticized such a wrong concept. "The traffic conditions of the road are changing rapidly, and no one can make a pre -judgment on the emergency. There are children on the car without safety seats. Or there are safety seats without using it, they are taking children's life safety adventure. "

According to statistics, the number of casualties in children's ride accidents in previous years often occurred in July and August. In addition to not using children's safety seats, children's injury problems caused by children alone and extended their heads and hands It is also more prominent.

The latter is an example. If children extend their heads and hands out of the car when they ride, when the vehicle crosses the high pole, the wide door or the wrong car, the driver is operating normally, and the child's body is easy to collide with other objects colliding with other objects. Essence

Children expose the upper half to the vehicle sunroof, and it is even more dangerous. Once they encounter an emergency brake or an accident, the child may be injured or thrown directly outside the car. In severe cases, the cervical spine is injured or even paralyzed. In addition, if it encounters hard objects, high -altitude pendants, etc., children are also vulnerable to injury.

In summary, the traffic police believe that parents should improve their own traffic safety awareness as a child's guardian, standardize the use of children's safety seats, and timely provide traffic safety education for children to jointly protect children and children's travel safety.
