We read the other day the news that The Supreme Court has issued a sentence demanding a seat to take the son of a divorced couple by car, during the special visit regime marked by the judge.
And I've been stoned. I can't with these things. Does a judge have to come, what's more, you have to order someone to take your child safe in the car to do it? But what are we thinking about. It is as if I now require a court order to put a coat on my son when I go out with him on the street in winter. But, Don't you know what your obligations as a parent are? Do you do it to annoy your partner? Do you risk your child's safety for harming your ex?
How difficult is it to understand that Do children always have to travel with adequate restraint systems?
People may have forgotten what is the priority, but You may not forget this:
Traffic regulations
- Not carrying a child restraint system in Spain when necessary entails withdrawal of three points of the driver's license for the driver, and an economic fine of 200 euros (260 euros in repeat offenders). And if you also travel outside of Spain, keep in mind that there are also penalties if you do not take the child in a retention system. Check the legislation in each country.
- Three fines for the misuse of the device and the Juvenile Prosecutor I could take your guardianship.
- If you have a traffic accident and your child dies or suffers serious injuries and if the investigation shows that the death of the minors could have been avoided using the child seat, a crime may be incurred for reckless homicide. The penalty in these cases is between 1 and four years in prison and one to six years of driving license deprivation.
- Who is responsible for the children? If the parents are inside the car, they are responsible for the child, driving or not driving.
- A study on car seats showed that its misuse multiplies by four the risk of death in traffic accidents.
- Going with the child sitting on you and holding the belt can cause crush injuries in the event of a collision. It is studying that children up to 18 kilos (about 4 years) go obligatorily in the opposite direction to the march, whenever the chair allows it. And children under 1'35 tall they can't go in the front seat (as long as they can do it in the ass).
Now we may think twice before traveling with our children and remember that Children always have to travel with adequate restraint systems.
