The seat belt should always be worn during pregnancy. But it is crucial that it should be worn in the correct way. Pregnant women should position the diagonal belt over the shoulder, between the breasts, and to the side of the abdomen.
The lap section of the seat belt should lay flat over the thighs and as low as possible under the abdomen. It must never be allowed to ride upward. Remove all slack from the seat belt and ensure that it fits close to the body. In addition, check that there are no twists in the belt.
As a pregnancy progresses, pregnant drivers should adjust their seats and steering wheel such that they can easily maintain control of the vehicle as they drive (which means that they must be able to easily operate the foot pedals and steering wheel). They should strive to position the seat with as large a distance as possible between their abdomen and the steering wheel.
Disabled people should use seat belt when riding. Please contact your doctor for professional advice.
If there are pets in the car, please pay attention to the following:
- When driving a vehicle, do not play with pets, otherwise it will cause serious accidents.
- Make sure that pets are always properly fixed during driving, such as using animal transport boxes. Otherwise, pets may interfere with the driver's control of the vehicle and cause serious accidents.
- In case of accident, sudden steering or emergency braking, unfixed pets are likely to be thrown up in the car, causing personal injury.
- Do not leave pets alone in the car unattended, as pets may accidentally trigger switches, activate vehicle equipment, and cause serious accidents. Pets may also die of suffocation in a closed car.
