Seat Belt Safety
According to the Société de l'assurance automobile Québec, "a seat belt reduces by half the risk of being killed or seriously injured in an accident".
Drivers are responsible for ensuring that their passengers buckle up,
especially since the number one step for safe driving is wearing a seat
belt that, in most if not all cases, will reduce by half the risk of
being ejected during a car crash.
No passengers can be without a seat belt. The maximum number of passengers, despite his or her age, must be equal to the number of seats and to an equal number of properly fastened seat belts installed by the manufacturer.
Car Safety Advice
Drivers who are impaired tend to take a cold shower, drink strong coffee or go for a a run. They think that car safety advice include eating a late-night poutine to diminish or eliminate their blood alcohol concentration but forget that other factors such as fatigue, drugs, medication, stress or illness amplify the effects of alcohol.
Cocktails are not always as light as they seem. Two ounces of alcohol mixed with fruit juice is still two ounces of alcohol. Plus, if you had too much to drink, waiting an hour will not change your condition.
The truth is, there are no tricks to accelerate the withdrawal of alcohol in your blood - only time does the trick. It's your liver that helps eliminate almost all the alcohol you drank so, to sober up, you need to wait for your liver to do its job and to finish it.
When you're ready, when you have sobered up, adjust your seat, mirrors, head restraint and seat belt
to improve your safety and your comfort. Hold your steering wheel, place
your feet correctly and make changes to your driving environment that will
reduce stress, fatigue, and the risk of injuries.
