Drivers have a lot to think about. Let them concentrate on driving.
Distractions – like loud voices, questions, moving around – can cause mistakes and accidents. Please be calm and considerate, and encourage others in the car to do the same. It’s safer for everybody.
When you get in a car, help the driver by reminding everybody to put on their seatbelts. There should be a seatbelt for everybody, and young children should be in the right kind of child restraints.
If the car is stopped by police and people aren’t wearing their seatbelts, the driver will be fined and could lose their licence. Even worse, if there’s an accident, the chance of being badly hurt is much more for people not wearing seatbelts.
Be the best passenger you can be.
