5.Everyone gets sick of hearing."Put on your seat belt!"But it's good advice.People who wear seat belts are 45percent less likely to be killed while riding in the front seat of a car.
The US government wants more seat belt laws.It says children aged 4to 15are often killed in car accidents.In 2005,there were 1,627children aged 4to 15killed in car accidents.More than 1,000of those children were not wearing seat belts.If they had been wearing seat belts,500of those children could be alive today.
These children are too old to be in car seats,but they often sit in the back seat.Seat belt laws in many states,including Wisconsin,only require people in the front seat to wear seat belts.Children who aren't wearing seat belts can be thrown from the car.The risk of dying in an accident is three times greater if the person is thrown from the car.
New laws could require children aged 4to 8to be in booster seats in the car.Booster seats help seat belts fit children properly.Right now,only 5percent of children aged 4to 8are seated in booster seats(兒童座椅).
While parents have the choice of whether wearing seat belts or not,children are too young to make that choice.Even if you decide not to wear a seat belt,make sure you children are in seat belts and car seats.It's the law and it will save their lives.
