SAFE CAR PRACTICES
NEVER drive under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
•
•
NEVER use in Reclined Mode in vehicle.
•
NEVER drive distracted (e.g. using cell phones, texting, tending
to children).
•
Everyone rides buckled up or the vehicle does not go! MAKE
NO EXCEPTIONS for adults or children!
•
Unrestrained adults are projectiles in the event of a crash and
can injure others in the vehicle.
•
If someone unbuckles, the vehicle STOPS! Being firm and
consistent will result in fewer disciplinary problems as children
grow older.
•
NEVER leave loose objects (e.g. groceries, books, bags) in a
vehicle. In the event of a sudden stop, loose objects will keep
moving, potentially causing serious injuries.
•
NEVER leave a child alone in a vehicle, even for one minute.
•
ALWAYS keep car doors LOCKED when vehicle is parked and
unattended to prevent children from climbing inside.
