The physical principle of a frontal collision

Fig. 3 Driver without a fastened seat belt/rear seat passenger without a

fastened seat belt

Read and observe on page 11 first.

As soon as the vehicle is moving, so-called kinetic energy (the energy of mo-

tion) is produced both in terms of the car as well as in terms of the occupants.

The magnitude of this kinetic energy depends essentially on the speed at

which the vehicle is travelling and on the weight of the vehicle including the

occupants.

Doubling the speed of the vehicle from 25 km/h up to 50 km/hour increases

the kinetic energy four times.

For example, a person's weight of 80 kg “increases” to 4.8 tons (4800 kg) at

50 km/h.

In the event of a frontal collision, occupants of the car not wearing a seat belt

are thrown forward and strike parts of the interior of the car, such as the

steering wheel, dash panel, windscreen in ways which cannot be controlled

. In certain circumstances you could even be thrown out of the vehi-

cle, which could cause life threatening or even fatal injuries.

A rear seat passenger who has not fastened their seat belt is a danger not on-

ly to himself but also for those seated at the front » Fig. 3 –

Correct routing of seat belt

ing of belt webbing for an expectant mother

Read and observe

on page 11 first.

It is important that the belt is properly routed to ensure seat belts offer the

maximum protection.

The shoulder part of the seat belt must never run across the neck but must

roughly run over the middle of the shoulder and fit snugly against the chest.

The lap part of the belt must run across the pelvis, must not be positioned

across the stomach and must always fit snugly » Fig. 4 -

Seat belts with pregnant women

Expectant women must also always wear a seat belt. This is the only way of

ensuring optimal protection for the unborn child.

With pregnant women, the lap part of the belt must be positioned as low as

possible on the pelvis to avoid exerting any pressure on the lower abdomen

Safety

I bought my 2016 Skoda Citigo two months ago and can't find out why it will suddenly ping for no obvious reason, some times pining three or four time in a row. My partner noticed the numbers 1-5 with an arrow coming up on the right hand side of the odometer but we can't find out what they or the mysterious pinging is. Please can you help. Thank you Submitted on 15-9-2022 at 10:11
