0 Roadsafety • Posted by u/kkajayi 1 hr ago WHY YOU SHOULD NEVER DRIVE WITH A BABY ON YOUR LAP Road Safety is everybody's business. So let us take it as such. Drive to stay alive.Engaging in unsafe acts such as driving without a seatbelt and placing children on your lap while driving does not portray a driver in a good light. In fact, drivers who engage in such acts display ignorance and a lack of basic road safety knowledge.It is extremely dangerous. An unrestrained infant can easily be thrown forward into the dashboard or even out of the vehicle during a collision. It should also be noted that in a crash, the adult's body weight can easily crush the baby against the steering wheel. In addition, the speed at which airbags deploy during a crash is unsafe for children small enough to be carried on laps.In conclusion, carrying a child on your lap while driving is not a show of love; it shows a lack of safety awareness. Show love the right way and stay safe.This calls for the question: why then do we still see some parents engaging in this dangerous act? Is it ignorance or a show of love?One more thing: we are in this together. When you see such an unsafe act, please discourage it. Happy Weekend.
