Safety for your most precious possession - your children!

And now for a rant!

Please, please make sure your children are correctly restrained in your car. Make sure they are in the appropriate baby or booster seat or properly using the fixed seatbelts. Almost every day I see children at danger, usually on the school run, as they travel without restraints. And sometimes even sitting on the lap of an adult - yes the adult is using a seatbelt but that won't save a child. A minor bump even as low as 15mph could see your child catapulted through the windscreen to their probable death. Harsh? Yes, but a fact.

And while we are on the subject make sure your dogs are also taken care of. Don't let them hang out of the windows thinking they look cute and don't let them have free run of the vehicle. Because they too could end up another fatal road statistic.
