Surprisingly, research conducted by YouGov on behalf of car insurance company, Liverpool Victoria (LV) has revealed that 21% of those people questioned during the research were unaware of the legislation regarding the safe transportation of children.
In short, all passengers under the age of 12 should be seated in the appropriate restraint.
The regulation regarding the safe transportation of children whilst a passenger in a vehicle on the roads in the UK states that:-
“All children travelling in an automobile must be subject to the appropriate safety restraint”.
John O’Roarke, managing director of LV stated
“We’d urge all drivers to make sure they’re aware of the guidelines - child seats can take just five minutes to install and greatly reduce the chances of injury to everyone in the car.”
As a driver, you could face a fine up to £500 if you are convicted of failing to ensure that a child passenger is using an appropriate child restraint or wearing a seat belt according to the law.
