Wiki site still says the same thing and im on a different computer I dont know what to do. I was wondering if I could do something else with it I could try to come to the school at some point. If you could e-mail my mom that would be great. Thank you!

6. Go to the del.icio.us link posted on the left and post 3 resources on seat belts. These could deal with laws, child restraints, how they work, how they save lives, videos, news articles,ect. Post the URL that you found on your blog so I know what you found. Make sure you save them to del.icio.us because we will all be doing a type 3 writing on seat belts and will need at least 4 sources. Please post these by Saturday, 7/14.

Seat belts can save lives

Seat belts can save livesPublished June 27th, 2007 in Social, Awareness and Traffic speed. Tags: cars, car accidents, drive carefully, road safety, safety belts, safety precautions, seat belts, traffic accidents.
40,000 people die each year in car accidents. They all say that they “drive carefully” or “nothing will happen”, “just going few meters”. You only need a second of distraction for anything to be happening. Car accidents kill many innocent people just because we do not use to wear seat belts.


Howstuffworks "How Seatbelts Work"
According to a research report from the National Highway Traffic and Safety Administration, seatbelts save approximately 13,000 lives in the United States each year. Furthermore, the NHTSA estimates that 7,000 U.S. car accident fatalities would have been avoided if the victims had been wearing belts.
While seatbelts do occasionally contribute to serious injury or death, nearly all safety experts agree that buckling up dramatically increases your chances of surviving an accident. According to the NHTSA, seatbelts reduce the risk of death for a front seat car occupant by about 50 percent.
When you think about it, this is absolutely amazing: How can a piece of fabric end up being the difference between life and death? What does it actually do? In this article, we'll examine the technology of seatbelts to see why they are one of the most important technologies in any car.


Child Passenger Safety Laws
Provisions in Vermont Law are often what guide parents and other caregivers when they are making decisions on how to most safely transport their children.
Current law outlines inadequate protection for children, especially those between the ages of 5 and 8 years. Children 5 – 8 years old have outgrown child car seats but are not big enough for the car’s seatbelts to fit them or to adequately protect them in the event of a car crash. A booster seat is needed for these children to raise them up so the car’s seat belts fit them properly. This past session, the Legislature improved the law, thereby safeguarding children and giving parents proper guidance.
The new law ( effective January 1, 2004) stipulates that no person shall operate a motor vehicle, other than a type I school bus, in this state upon a public highway unless every occupant under age 16 is properly restrained in a federally approved child passenger restraining system as defined in 49 C.F.R. § 571.213 (1993) or a federally-approved safety belt, as follows:
All children under the age of one, and all children weighing less than 20 pounds, regardless of age, shall be restrained in a rear-facing position, properly secured in a federally-approved child passenger restraining system, which shall not be installed in front of an active air bag;
A child weighing more than 20 pounds, and who is one year of age or older and under the age of eight years, shall be restrained in a child passenger restraining system (This means convertible, combination and booster child safety seats); and
A child eight through 15 years of age shall be restrained in a safety belt system or a child passenger restraining system.
Penalties for failing to follow the child passenger safety laws: The fine is $25.00 for the first offense, $50.00 for the second and $100.00 for the third offense. No points will be assessed to the license of the driver.
Medical exemptions were repealed, as improvements in car seat technology have eliminated the need for any exemptions. Contact your local pediatrician or the number below to learn more.
