In a crash, rear seat passengers in a car
The passenger in the rear seat of a car moving at a steady speed is at rest relative to the car itself. This is because the passenger is moving with the same velocity as the car, so they appear to be at rest relative to each other.
The passenger in the rear seat of a car moving at a steady speed is at rest relative to the car itself. This is because the passenger and the car are both moving together at the same speed in the same direction, so from the perspective of the car, the passenger appears to be at rest.
If the car is only a 2 seater you can put a FORWARD facing car seat on the passenger side, but I'm not sure about a rear facing car seat.
under the car hood, or ive seen them under the rear left passenger seat
Im not sure but i think its around 45-50mph =)
Putting a car seat in the front seat of your car is a terrible idea, regardless of the country. The height of the airbags can break a childs neck if just in a booster, and can jar a rear facing car seat, in the event of an accident. The front passenger seat is statistically the most dangerous seat in the car to in during an accident.
2 front bucket seats and a full rear seat, 5 passenger car.
If you have a child in the front seat of a car, you must ensure they are wearing a seat belt and that the airbag is connected. An unrestrained child without an airbag will be flung through the windshield in a crash and will die.The only exception to this is if you've got a baby in a rear-facing car seat strapped to the passenger seat. The baby seat must, without exception, be attached to the seat solidly, or the seat must be strapped to the seat in an approved manner. Then the airbag must be disconnected to prevent crush injuries in a crash.Urban myths have spread about airbags being dangerous. They are not, but not using a seatbelt is very dangerous; not using a seatbelt for your child is wanton neglect. For best results, strap your child into a car seat, fitted by professionals, on the rear seat of your car.
The passenger would move forward, and either hit the seat or the windshield due to the inertia of the passenger (tendency to not change motion).
Seat belts are extremely important, as they protect you in the case of a crash, so you don't lurch forward, etc. and injure yourself. Every passenger is required to wear a seat belt by law.
Yes, you can die in a car crash. Seat belts and air bags have greatly reduced the number of deaths from car crashes. Seat belts only work if they are fastened.
