KimaTV has reported that hundreds of parents are pulled up in the Yakima and Sunnyside districts every year for being suspected of not buckling up their children properly. The figure is in fact down from last year, though it's still a problem that needs to be handled, according to regional authorities, who say that troopers are on the watch for violators, with hundreds of regional moms and dads not securing their children or who are allowing them to sit in the front seat, while still under age.

Washington State Patrol Trooper, Sarah Clasen, states that she has inspected over ten motorists daily. She adds... "A great deal of people think, well, I'm a fantastic driver, but there's a great deal of truly bad motorists around you that you think you'd wish to secure your kids from." The regional authorities have confirmed that Troopers pulled up 483 motorists suspected of kid restraint infractions in 2014 in Yakima and Sunnyside patrol areas, though these number's are down from the more than 600, recorded in 2014.

According to KimaTV, the thing the numbers don't reveal, is that there are a lot more children than the general assessments carried out. Clasen remembered her worst case scenario, saying... "There were about 6 children on the back seat, on the back bench, with children sitting on children's laps, not a single safety belt on between them, and they were all most likely under the age of 8. A great deal of people just forget since their child is not in a booster seat, but that doesn't imply they can still ride in the front of the car."

Yakima Police Department Neighborhood Services Officer and Infant Passenger Safety Technician Amy Hayes, states that any mom and dad expecting a baby or any vehicle driver that has gotten a ticket for not properly utilizing an automobile safety seat, should call them and enable them to check out their safety seats." She said... "If you can't pay for a safety seat, you're expecting, as well as on Medicaid, then assistance might be on offer, as some might qualify for a free vehicle safety seat through the Yakima Valley Farm Workers Clinic First Steps Program."

Further afield, and Walb news has reported that Dawson Police are hosting safety seat security seminars, with cops wanting to make certain moms and dads are using their safety seat properly. The report has confirmed that they hosted a safety seat security workshop for families at their precinct, where they talked about the significance of restraining children in safety seats when it comes to a crash, and showed moms and dads how to properly install a safety seat. Officer Sunny Wallace, representative for the Dawson Police department, stated... "The law states a child needs to be rear facing up till a minimum of one year of age, or weighing twenty pounds, but we do encourage a minimum of two years old, as it's 5 times safer to keep them rear facing until that age." Officer Wallace has likewise urged moms and dads to keep their children in a 5 point harness safety seat, and a booster seat until they have the ability to fit into an adult safety belt.
