Is your child protected? How tall are you?
|
Monday 18th September 2006 will herald a new car seat law for children under the age of 12 or under 135cm (4ft 5in).
Many British Families will be obliged to purchase a new car seat or booster cushions for their children. For some parents, this will be a shock for children to have to sit in a car seat and parents may well have to encourage their children to use a car seat. A child over the age of 12 or more than 135cm tall, may use an adult seat belt. However, the Department for Transport recommends that children should continue using booster cushions or booster seats until they are 150cm (4ft 11in) tall. Though with the new law, there are some exceptions:- For short and occasional journeys which are made for unexpected necessity by collecting friend's children. Two restraints already present in the back seat, leaving no room for a third. In taxis Emergency vehicles In old cars with no seat belts, though the Department for Transport states that it is "not safe". Other changes in the new law are:- Seated bus and coach passengers over the age of 14 must use seat belts where fitted (rules regarding younger children travelling in buses and coaches will be put forward at a later date) From May 2008, child and baby seats must meet a standard known as UN ECE regulation 44.03, or the more recent standard 44.04 - this means they will be marked with an E and the numbers 44.03, or .03 or .04 From May 2009, all passengers in any vehicle will have to use an appropriate restraint (baby seat, child seat, booster seat/cushion) or seat belt, where seat belts are fitted. The driver is held responsible for violations by passengers under the age of 14 (except in taxis). Police can impose a £30 fixed penalty, but the maximum fine is £500 if it goes to court. The rules are changing due to recent surveys showing that more and more children are wearing adult seats belts before they reach the correct height which can cause children to slip out of the seat belt. With the existing regulations dating from 1993, The Department of Transport states rear seat belts were less common then, and the law needed to be updated. Furthermore, the government needs to bring UK laws into compliance with European Union legislation (Directive 2003/20/EC) on the use of seatbelts. It is four months late, as it should have done this in May. |
