EK transporta komisāre: Brauciet lēnāk un piesprādzējieties

*Retu reizi* gadās, ka drošības jostas nelietošana palīdz izsprukt sveikā, bet statistika ir nopietni par labu drošības jostas lietošanai. Katrai valstij stati, protams, kaut kādā mērā atšķiras, bet amerikāņu variants ir šāds: "What Do We Know? Most drivers and passengers killed in crashes are unrestrained. 53% of drivers and passengers killed in car crashes in 2009 were not wearing restraints. Seat belts dramatically reduce risk of death and serious injury. Among drivers and front-seat passengers, seat belts reduce the risk of death by 45%, and cut the risk of serious injury by 50%. Seat belts prevent drivers and passengers from being ejected during a crash. People not wearing a seat belt are 30 times more likely to be ejected from a vehicle during a crash. More than 3 out of 4 people who are ejected during a fatal crash die from their injuries. Seat belts save thousands of lives each year, and increasing use would save thousands more. Seat belts saved almost 13,000 lives in 2009. If all drivers and passengers had worn seat belts that year, almost 4,000 more people would be alive today. These facts show that increasing seat belt use is critical to reduce injury and saving lives." Nezinu, vai ļaus šeit ielikt linku: http://www.cdc.gov/Motorvehiclesafety/seatbeltbrief/ Kā arī, jāatcerās, ka nepiesprādzējot sevi, viens pasažieries apdraud pārējos pasažierus. "Passengers weight in the rear seat in a frontal impact. Vehicle speed 50km/h stop distance 550mm retardation 30g. Passengers weight 40kg x 30g = 1200kg Passengers weith 75 kg x 30g = 2250 kg"

Te nu vajadzētu ņemt palīgā elementārfizikas likumus. Diez vai ir tavos spēkos fizikas likumus sev par labu mainīt. Viena lieta ir ieskriet sienā ar pilsētā atļautajiem 50 km stundā, cita lieta, ja saduras divi auto, kuri abi brauc ar atļautajiem 50 km stundā. Vai nav bieži gadijies dzirdēt, ka visi avārijā cietušie jau beigti gulēja ārpus auto(pie stūres sēdošais tad ir sava vieta ar sadragātu krūšu kurvi0. Nu nav tavos spēkos atcelt inerci, vienkārši nav.!
