And 45 00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:20,560 Speaker 4: it got to the point where I go into the 46 00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:23,520 Speaker 4: garage and they knew me my first name, the salesman did, 47 00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:26,440 Speaker 4: but they were all nice to me. I ended up 48 00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:31,000 Speaker 4: going in one time and they had a twenty twenty 49 00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:34,639 Speaker 4: three Explorer and I drove it and I thought, well, 50 00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:38,400 Speaker 4: this is logical, go from one Explorer to the other, right, ye, 51 00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:43,400 Speaker 4: And I got it, and it just it was not 52 00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:44,680 Speaker 4: the right car for me. 53 00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:46,840 Speaker 3: It was too big, luxury up. 54 00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:50,840 Speaker 4: The gazooland way overboard with tech for me.

He brought up 60 00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:12,160 Speaker 4: this this computer thing that you push a button on 61 00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:14,680 Speaker 4: the steering wheel and it brought up on the on 62 00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:17,840 Speaker 4: your day.

I think 67 00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:31,480 Speaker 2: they're technology experts where after you purchase the car, they 68 00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:33,720 Speaker 2: sit there for an hour, hour and a half and 69 00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:35,680 Speaker 2: they explain all the features and what the car does 70 00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:38,600 Speaker 2: and how this works and how that works, and and 71 00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:41,560 Speaker 2: and you know, if you have any questions, call this number. 72 00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:44,000 Speaker 2: I've seen this in some of the dealerships. The cars 73 00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:46,760 Speaker 2: are so overwhelming with technology today. And if you come 74 00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:49,680 Speaker 2: back on Tuesday nights, we're serving cookie and coffee and 75 00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:51,240 Speaker 2: we're going to have all of you line up and 76 00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:53,000 Speaker 2: explain to us how to We're going to explain how 77 00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:55,640 Speaker 2: to do this and how to do that. And that's 78 00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:57,800 Speaker 2: why I said to you, Deb, That's why I said, 79 00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:01,000 Speaker 2: you're going from a two thousand and five, you know, 80 00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:05,400 Speaker 2: explore to anything in the last five years, never mind 81 00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:09,040 Speaker 2: the last ten years, just the last five years. It's overwhelming. 82 00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:12,840 Speaker 2: It's Ripe Brothers to Space Shuttle, and it's it's a 83 00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:16,360 Speaker 2: ton of technology. And did you drive the car day 84 00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:18,159 Speaker 2: en night? Did you actually pick a car? Do you 85 00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:19,479 Speaker 2: finally have a car yet? 86 00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:20,719 Speaker 3: Yeah? 87 00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:23,360 Speaker 4: I mean, Ron, it was so bad. The first time 88 00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:25,720 Speaker 4: I got in a new car, they handed me a 89 00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:28,360 Speaker 4: fob and I'm sitting there looking for the key and 90 00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:30,120 Speaker 4: there's no key on it, and I didn't want to 91 00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:32,719 Speaker 4: be stupid. Finally, the guy said let's go, and I go. 92 00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:36,520 Speaker 4: I don't know how to start it. I got joking 93 00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:41,400 Speaker 4: so well anyway, I went back and I thought, oh 94 00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:43,800 Speaker 4: my god, I'm really going to get excuse my friend 95 00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:47,200 Speaker 4: screwed it over here returning this car and getting another one. 96 00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:50,320 Speaker 4: I mean, I'm at their mercy right right. And I 97 00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:51,640 Speaker 4: had no problems doing it. 98 00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:52,480 Speaker 3: They were just so. 99 00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:55,560 Speaker 4: Kind and nice to me I ended up getting and 100 00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:58,400 Speaker 4: I just love the car. That Explorer was too big 101 00:04:58,400 --> 00:04:59,800 Speaker 4: for me too. I didn't even know where I was 102 00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:02,520 Speaker 4: the road between the right lines. 103 00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:04,800 Speaker 2: I mean, it was just and did you find did 104 00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:07,960 Speaker 2: you find driving the car at night and then during 105 00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:10,760 Speaker 2: the day was just a totally different experience, a totally 106 00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:11,440 Speaker 2: different animal. 107 00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:15,640 Speaker 4: I didn't like any of the after I the lawn 108 00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:17,440 Speaker 4: ride drove it the worst. I hated the car. And 109 00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:19,919 Speaker 4: nothing personal against the Explorers or cars. 110 00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:21,400 Speaker 3: It just wasn't just wasn't for you. 111 00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:23,760 Speaker 2: And you know and that stuff. I think. I think 112 00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:27,080 Speaker 2: that's the point of this, StEB that buying that new car, 113 00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:30,039 Speaker 2: if it's if it's more than five years since you 114 00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:33,320 Speaker 2: last purchased a car, it now becomes it's a lot 115 00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:35,719 Speaker 2: of work and it's not something and I think to 116 00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:38,200 Speaker 2: be fair to yourself. And we'll leave it here because 117 00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:40,760 Speaker 2: we've got calls. But and I always appreciate hearing from you. 118 00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:42,720 Speaker 2: You know that. But I think I think the takeaway 119 00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:45,320 Speaker 2: for everybody is, if you're buying a new car and 120 00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:48,440 Speaker 2: it's you're driving something older than five to seven years, 121 00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:51,000 Speaker 2: you've really got to allow time to go and have 122 00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:51,840 Speaker 2: this experience. 123 00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:55,640 Speaker 4: Right, Yeah, I did. I went on and on and on. 124 00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:59,400 Speaker 4: I ended up getting a brand new twenty twenty six 125 00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:02,840 Speaker 4: debby Equinox RS.

How are you going wrong? 134 00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:19,880 Speaker 4: Right? 135 00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:21,680 Speaker 3: Tell them thanks for checking my call. 136 00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:22,400 Speaker 2: Welcome out. 137 00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:29,760 Speaker 3: I've got a twenty twenty gmc Denali twenty five and 138 00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:36,320 Speaker 3: the passenger side mirror won't fold in. It moves about 139 00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:38,760 Speaker 3: an inch and it stops. You know, when you hit 140 00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:46,240 Speaker 3: the button, and it's intermittent because like today is a 141 00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:48,880 Speaker 3: matter of fact, that's why I decided to call you today. 142 00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:53,880 Speaker 3: It works, and it hasn't worked for probably three weeks. 143 00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:57,280 Speaker 2: Okay, So they both. 144 00:06:57,120 --> 00:07:01,000 Speaker 3: Extend right the way they're supposed to. And when that 145 00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:03,839 Speaker 3: comes in and stops for about an inch, when you 146 00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:05,839 Speaker 3: hit it the button again to bring them out, it 147 00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:09,240 Speaker 3: comes out fine. It just for some reason it just 148 00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:10,160 Speaker 3: won't go. 149 00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:15,000 Speaker 2: So the next time it doesn't work, it's gonna sound 150 00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:19,040 Speaker 2: silly at first. All right, I'd want to know can 151 00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:21,920 Speaker 2: I talk to that mirror with a scan tool? I 152 00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:23,640 Speaker 2: want to know, Actually, I want to look at a 153 00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:26,840 Speaker 2: wiring diagram. Are these mirrors on the network? 154 00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:28,320 Speaker 3: Okay? 155 00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:32,840 Speaker 2: Because you know, is this if they're on the network, 156 00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:37,400 Speaker 2: meaning that they are controlled through the network. I'll put 157 00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:39,960 Speaker 2: it into a different kind of language. Is this a 158 00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:45,000 Speaker 2: bad computer on the network where I've got a communication fault? 159 00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:48,960 Speaker 2: I can't tell it to fold? Or do I just 160 00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:50,520 Speaker 2: do I have power and ground? Do I have a 161 00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:53,320 Speaker 2: bad mirror? Do I have a mirror that's jamming internally? 162 00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:59,040 Speaker 2: It's not it's not impossible for it to be a mirror, 163 00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:04,200 Speaker 2: but it's a little early in its life, right, because 164 00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:07,000 Speaker 2: when you when you think about it, how many you know, 165 00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:09,360 Speaker 2: how many times do you actually fold that mirror once 166 00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:11,680 Speaker 2: a day? Are they auto folding mirrors every time you 167 00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:13,560 Speaker 2: lock the car? You have to manually do it? 168 00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:18,760 Speaker 3: Well, I have the button on the driver's side. 169 00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:23,280 Speaker 2: Arm wress right, arm wress, but. 170 00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:27,000 Speaker 3: I can hold If I press and hold the remote, they. 171 00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:30,440 Speaker 2: Will fold right right.

I want to do 205 00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:04,760 Speaker 3: that will be once a month.

It's you've got to go in through year, 210 00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:24,200 Speaker 2: make model, all right, unless and unless now there are 211 00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:28,400 Speaker 2: some GM packages where believe it or not, the ambient 212 00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:33,120 Speaker 2: air temp sensor for the diesel is is located in 213 00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:38,800 Speaker 2: the right side mirror. So I just want to mention 214 00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:42,240 Speaker 2: that too, uh, you know, and here we are right. 215 00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:45,840 Speaker 2: It's it's it seems so simple, and we'll leave it here. 216 00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:48,720 Speaker 2: It seems so simple. We've got to understand how the 217 00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:50,840 Speaker 2: circuit works. We've got to look at a wiring diagram, 218 00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:52,720 Speaker 2: We've got to pull codes. Is it on the network 219 00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:55,760 Speaker 2: or not? Is this a network communication fault or is 220 00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:58,120 Speaker 2: this a failure of the motor of the mirror assembly? 221 00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:02,120 Speaker 3: And unfortunately for me, because I listened to your show 222 00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:05,920 Speaker 3: quite a bit, and I consider myself fortunate because the 223 00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:10,199 Speaker 3: last two trucks I've owned, the dealership that I bought 224 00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:14,400 Speaker 3: them from, I decided to myself, I'm not doing anything 225 00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:17,600 Speaker 3: but replacing white for blades.

So I'm 290 00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:17,720 Speaker 2: going to do this email before we get to At 291 00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:20,560 Speaker 2: the bottom of the hour, Doctor jamakiins in the waiting 292 00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:24,440 Speaker 2: room there in the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety Aloha, Ron, 293 00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:26,080 Speaker 2: So you know who this comes from. This comes to 294 00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:28,520 Speaker 2: us from our buddy Walter and Hawaii. I just got 295 00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:31,600 Speaker 2: this truck twenty sixteen f TWOT fifty six point two 296 00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:34,560 Speaker 2: liter super Duty. I'm going to change the transfer case 297 00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:38,000 Speaker 2: and the differential fluid. Should I change the transfluid? All? Also, 298 00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:40,960 Speaker 2: I've read both to change and not to change Walter 299 00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:44,720 Speaker 2: and MAUI. I agree with the dips in the transfer case. Walter, 300 00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:49,080 Speaker 2: and you know if you can get to the transmission fluid. Yes, 301 00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:51,440 Speaker 2: here's going to be the catch, which trans is this 302 00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:55,360 Speaker 2: doesn't have a dipstick. How hard is this fluid to change? 303 00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:58,880 Speaker 2: I don't recall seeing too many four pickup trucks in 304 00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:01,160 Speaker 2: the last ten years with dips. I don't even think 305 00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:04,400 Speaker 2: about it anymore and keep track because most of them 306 00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:09,200 Speaker 2: have a you know, short little dipstick tube out the 307 00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:10,880 Speaker 2: right side of the case where you have to be 308 00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:12,400 Speaker 2: up in the air and put your hand up real 309 00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:15,400 Speaker 2: close to the nice hot catalytic converter and you know, 310 00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:17,680 Speaker 2: burn yourself. That's how you know you're in the right 311 00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:20,560 Speaker 2: proximity location and you have to undo the cap. So 312 00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:24,400 Speaker 2: make sure before you change this pan or lower this 313 00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:27,960 Speaker 2: pan that you can actually, you know, put fluid back in. 314 00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:30,640 Speaker 2: It's not easy, especially on the ground, so make sure 315 00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:34,320 Speaker 2: you've got the clearance and the days of the do 316 00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:37,720 Speaker 2: it yourself stuff like this are just on life support. 317 00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:39,680 Speaker 2: I don't see this going on forever. So the question 318 00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:41,480 Speaker 2: to Walter is yes, I think you should change the 319 00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:45,120 Speaker 2: trans fluid. The question is can you not based on 320 00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:47,960 Speaker 2: your mechanical ability, but how difficult this ford make it? 321 00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:51,920 Speaker 2: And from what I've seen, it's probably pretty difficult. It's 322 00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:55,160 Speaker 2: never easy. Michael writes, and hey, Ron, I've got a 323 00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:58,960 Speaker 2: twenty twenty two Chevy Tracks and my girlfriend is having 324 00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:02,000 Speaker 2: problems with Oh, my sister, I'm sorry, I apologize. My 325 00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:04,840 Speaker 2: sister is having problems with the twenty two Chevy Tracks 326 00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:07,160 Speaker 2: having fuel system missions when you try fueling it with 327 00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:10,240 Speaker 2: a fuel tank around hairfull. Or mechanic is having difficulty 328 00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:13,560 Speaker 2: diagnosing the problem. You know, this is a pretty simple 329 00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:17,480 Speaker 2: thing to diagnose, Michael. It's what you have to think about, 330 00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:21,000 Speaker 2: is I want you to You know, if you take 331 00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:24,000 Speaker 2: a can of liquid and put a hole in one side, 332 00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:26,640 Speaker 2: try pouring the liquid out. You can't do it right. 333 00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:28,200 Speaker 2: You always have to put a relief hole on the 334 00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:31,040 Speaker 2: other side. Well, if you were to fill that can 335 00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:33,880 Speaker 2: once you emptied it with only one hole, it would 336 00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:38,280 Speaker 2: be the same thing without a vent to allow pressure 337 00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:41,360 Speaker 2: to escape. As you filled it with liquid, it would 338 00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:43,920 Speaker 2: bubble and flare, and if it was a fuel pump 339 00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:46,520 Speaker 2: with a safety shut off, it would kick it off. 340 00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:50,880 Speaker 2: So you know, part of the diagnosis here is is 341 00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:56,160 Speaker 2: the vent or the charcoal canister restricted or blocked, and 342 00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:59,280 Speaker 2: it becomes a case of tracing it out, finding the 343 00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:03,520 Speaker 2: vent line, disconnecting it so that it doesn't run through 344 00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:07,359 Speaker 2: the electrically controlled or computer controlled vent. It just vents. 345 00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:09,119 Speaker 2: It's open all the time. If you can fill the 346 00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:11,560 Speaker 2: tank that way, then you know you're down to either 347 00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:14,879 Speaker 2: the vent is having an issue or the canister and 348 00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:17,480 Speaker 2: you can kind of pin down your diagnosis from there. 349 00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:21,080 Speaker 2: Not the most difficult thing in the world to really diagnose, 350 00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:23,639 Speaker 2: as long as you know, we've got some time and 351 00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:25,480 Speaker 2: we can, you know, kind of play with things a 352 00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:25,960 Speaker 2: little bit. 353 00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:26,600 Speaker 5: Now. 354 00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:28,240 Speaker 2: I don't know if I'm gonna get this next one. 355 00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:30,880 Speaker 2: And this comes to us from Mark. I'll do this, 356 00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:32,679 Speaker 2: you know what, I'll do this a different day. This 357 00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:35,040 Speaker 2: one comes to us from Mark about his he wants 358 00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:37,520 Speaker 2: to talk about maintenance on a Subaru. I do want 359 00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:39,920 Speaker 2: to say that Mark's title. He's an Oil and Gas 360 00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:45,320 Speaker 2: Chemical Services octane engine technician for SGS North America. I 361 00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:46,960 Speaker 2: got to talk to this guy. We could have fun 362 00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:49,520 Speaker 2: with him, so but that isn't what we're going to do. 363 00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:52,880 Speaker 2: We'll do that next time. Coming up next doctor Jessica Jermakian, Hey, 364 00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:55,840 Speaker 2: you know next week's child Safety Seat Are you ready? 365 00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:57,399 Speaker 2: Are you taking care of your kid and put him 366 00:17:57,400 --> 00:17:59,600 Speaker 2: in the car correctly?

Next week is September twenty 369 00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:12,879 Speaker 2: one through the twenty seventh is Child Passenger Safety Week. 370 00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:15,440 Speaker 2: And this is a subject near and dear to my heart. 371 00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:18,680 Speaker 2: You know a grandpa now right, two grandchildren, and I 372 00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:20,760 Speaker 2: always look at the how car seats are set up 373 00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:23,880 Speaker 2: in vehicles that come into the shop, and I wonder 374 00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:26,080 Speaker 2: if they're set up right. And I see some goofy 375 00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:29,800 Speaker 2: things that parents do, and I thought to get Child 376 00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:32,320 Speaker 2: Passenger Safety Week off to a great start. We've reached 377 00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:35,520 Speaker 2: out to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. They're based 378 00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:37,840 Speaker 2: out of Virginia, and here to talk about it is 379 00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:45,960 Speaker 2: doctor Jessica Jermonkian Armenian. Sort of we've established that, right, doctor, Yes. 380 00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:46,280 Speaker 3: Sort of. 381 00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:49,280 Speaker 7: I'm married into the name, right, so, and. 382 00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:52,080 Speaker 2: In all fairness, right, I've given you the briefing on. 383 00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:56,199 Speaker 2: I'll give you my pilloff recipe after the interview, so 384 00:18:56,720 --> 00:18:59,159 Speaker 2: you'll be all set. So tell us about the Insurance 385 00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:01,840 Speaker 2: Institute for Highway Safety and where is it and what 386 00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:03,560 Speaker 2: is it exactly that you folks do. 387 00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:08,320 Speaker 7: Yeah, sure, So the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. We're 388 00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:12,400 Speaker 7: located in Virginia. We have our Vehicle Research Center, which 389 00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:18,200 Speaker 7: is where we crash vehicles and do tests on vehicles 390 00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:22,200 Speaker 7: out on our track. We're funded solely by auto insurers 391 00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:30,200 Speaker 7: and our mission is to reduce property damage, injury and 392 00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:33,840 Speaker 7: fatalities in crashes, so keeping our roads safer. And we 393 00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:37,320 Speaker 7: do that through research and communications. Many people know us 394 00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:40,560 Speaker 7: through our vehicle ratings program, where we rate vehicles on 395 00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:41,520 Speaker 7: how safe they are. 396 00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:46,199 Speaker 2: So you'll look at you'll look at vehicles, you'll look 397 00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:48,760 Speaker 2: at you know, how it crashes, and then rate it 398 00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:50,800 Speaker 2: and say, well, this vehicle is a seven, and this 399 00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:53,240 Speaker 2: vehicle is a six and so on and so forth. 400 00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:57,679 Speaker 7: Something like that, a little bit more like this. This 401 00:19:57,800 --> 00:20:02,080 Speaker 7: is good, this is marginal, this is poor performance, and 402 00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:04,800 Speaker 7: we have we bundle all of our awards, all of 403 00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:08,840 Speaker 7: our ratings, into an award that we call Top Safety Pick. 404 00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:13,119 Speaker 7: So if you hear that on advertising, that that comes 405 00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:16,200 Speaker 7: from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. But it's important 406 00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:19,320 Speaker 7: to remember that we do a lot of work across 407 00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:23,280 Speaker 7: the whole spectrum of traffic safety, not just focused on vehicles, 408 00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:29,240 Speaker 7: but we also look at infrastructure, driver behavior, you know, pedestrian, cyclists, 409 00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:29,560 Speaker 7: all of it. 410 00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:32,600 Speaker 2: So if I've put my kid in a top rated 411 00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:35,920 Speaker 2: safe vehicle, why do I need to use a child restraint? 412 00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:40,560 Speaker 7: Well, putting them in a top rated safe vehicle is 413 00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:44,960 Speaker 7: a good first start. But the thing is vehicle seats 414 00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:49,160 Speaker 7: and restraint systems are designed for adults and kids are smaller. 415 00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:50,240 Speaker 4: They're the adults. 416 00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:54,520 Speaker 7: Restraint systems don't fit them, and not only are they smaller, 417 00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:58,240 Speaker 7: but they also don't have the same proportions and they 418 00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:02,200 Speaker 7: aren't they aren't fully developed, and so they need They 419 00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:05,080 Speaker 7: have special needs throughout different parts of their life. So 420 00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:08,320 Speaker 7: we know how to protect kids and crashes, but they 421 00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:12,280 Speaker 7: do need special equipment in certain parts of their of 422 00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:14,800 Speaker 7: their development to make sure they're getting the best protection 423 00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:15,760 Speaker 7: in a crash. 424 00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:19,119 Speaker 2: So, doctor Jimonkin, you know, when we look at this, 425 00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:21,720 Speaker 2: we're if I'm a parent, if I'm a new parent, 426 00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:24,399 Speaker 2: and I'm trying to you know, set my child up. 427 00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:27,040 Speaker 2: I want to start driving with them. You know, what 428 00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:29,280 Speaker 2: are the top things parents need to keep in mind 429 00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:32,640 Speaker 2: when they're using either a child restraint or a booster seat. 430 00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:34,000 Speaker 2: You know, how do I keep my kids safe in 431 00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:35,560 Speaker 2: a car when I'm picking out these things? 432 00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:39,160 Speaker 7: Well, so the most important thing is to make sure 433 00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:42,040 Speaker 7: your child is buckled up on every on every trip, 434 00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:46,480 Speaker 7: no matter how short. Then we really want kids to 435 00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:48,760 Speaker 7: be in the right seat for their agent size. So, 436 00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:53,200 Speaker 7: as I mentioned before, children are in different child restraint 437 00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:58,560 Speaker 7: types throughout their you know, from infancy up until they 438 00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:01,119 Speaker 7: are able to use the adult belts, and those needs 439 00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:04,680 Speaker 7: change during that time. So we want to make sure 440 00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:06,600 Speaker 7: that the child is in the right seat for their 441 00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:09,639 Speaker 7: agent size. And then we of course want to make 442 00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:13,960 Speaker 7: sure that they're snugly restrained in that child safety seat, 443 00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:17,399 Speaker 7: so with the harnessed snug or the vehicle belt snug. 444 00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:21,560 Speaker 2: So you know, is some of this a conversation about 445 00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:24,240 Speaker 2: how much does the child weigh, how big is the 446 00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:27,840 Speaker 2: child tall? Not just necessarily wait and then there's got 447 00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:30,919 Speaker 2: to be a conversation in here. At some point we 448 00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:34,720 Speaker 2: turn the child from facing rear to facing forward, which 449 00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:37,399 Speaker 2: is you know, that's kind of like we made potty training. 450 00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:41,280 Speaker 2: That's like a big deal, right, you know, And how 451 00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:42,960 Speaker 2: do we go through all that exactly? Yeah, how do 452 00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:45,320 Speaker 2: we go through all that exactly? 453 00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:48,000 Speaker 7: Well, So the youngest kids, we need them to be 454 00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:52,000 Speaker 7: rear facing and ideally until they reach the height or 455 00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:55,560 Speaker 7: weight limit of the seat, but we need them to 456 00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:59,720 Speaker 7: be rear facing at least until age two. The car 457 00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:03,680 Speaker 7: seat shell spreads those forces, those crash forces across their 458 00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:08,520 Speaker 7: body and head and protects their undeveloped necks in the 459 00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:10,760 Speaker 7: in the event of a crash. So it's really important. 460 00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:12,600 Speaker 7: The fact is we'd all be safer rear. 461 00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:14,840 Speaker 4: Facing, but. 462 00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:19,280 Speaker 7: We need those youngest kids because they have those less 463 00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:22,359 Speaker 7: developed next and their heads are proportionally very large, and 464 00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:24,920 Speaker 7: that could put a lot of forces on the neck 465 00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:28,360 Speaker 7: in the event of a crash. So it's parents shouldn't 466 00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:30,520 Speaker 7: be in a rush to turn their kids forward facing. 467 00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:32,680 Speaker 7: They should keep them rear facing. For as long as 468 00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:33,720 Speaker 7: as possible, and. 469 00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:35,760 Speaker 2: They should keep them in the back seat, right, you know, 470 00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:38,480 Speaker 2: I see I see some parents. Well I want to 471 00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:39,960 Speaker 2: you know, I want to keep my eye on the baby, 472 00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:42,000 Speaker 2: so I put the baby in the cars in the 473 00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:45,280 Speaker 2: seat next to me, you know, not thinking about in 474 00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:48,000 Speaker 2: the event, God forbid of an accident the airbag goes off. 475 00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:51,760 Speaker 7: Yes, it's very important that kids remain in the back seat, 476 00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:58,240 Speaker 7: especially absolutely for rear facing kids. When when airbags first 477 00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:00,679 Speaker 7: came out in the mid nineties, we had lots of 478 00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:05,120 Speaker 7: tragedies of where children were in the front seats and 479 00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:08,119 Speaker 7: were injured or killed by deploying airbags, and so we 480 00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:12,399 Speaker 7: had a very successful education campaign and getting parents to 481 00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:14,399 Speaker 7: understand that they need to keep their kids in the 482 00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:20,640 Speaker 7: back So that recommendation still holds. We want kids twelve 483 00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:24,639 Speaker 7: and under to still be in the back seat. The 484 00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:27,240 Speaker 7: good news is that airbags have changed a lot since 485 00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:30,479 Speaker 7: the mid nineties, so we do have some protections in 486 00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:34,440 Speaker 7: place in the front seat to make them more friendly 487 00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:39,120 Speaker 7: when maybe occupants are not in a great initial position. 488 00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:44,840 Speaker 7: But the evidence still shows that kids are still safest 489 00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:45,520 Speaker 7: in the back seat. 490 00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:48,600 Speaker 2: So listen, I'm gonna you know, I'm a parent, and 491 00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:50,199 Speaker 2: I want to sit and I want to talk to 492 00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:52,720 Speaker 2: my kid. He's ten years old. We're we're gonna go, 493 00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:54,760 Speaker 2: we're gonna go fishing this morning. We're gonna I'm gonna 494 00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:56,359 Speaker 2: put him in front of the pickup truck next to me, 495 00:24:56,840 --> 00:24:59,560 Speaker 2: and I can turn my earbag off. How big of 496 00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:02,880 Speaker 2: a does is that? How many things am I doing 497 00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:04,920 Speaker 2: wrong there? Even though he's in a seat belt and 498 00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:06,960 Speaker 2: now he's got no air Now he's got no air bag. 499 00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:08,679 Speaker 2: How big of a problem is that? Doctor? 500 00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:12,640 Speaker 7: Yeah, So one of the reasons we recommend kids twelve 501 00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:15,119 Speaker 7: and undersit in the back seat is it's not just 502 00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:18,760 Speaker 7: about age and size, but it's also about maturity. And 503 00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:21,120 Speaker 7: we want to make sure that kids can sit in 504 00:25:21,119 --> 00:25:24,399 Speaker 7: that seat in front of the air bag, sit with 505 00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:26,359 Speaker 7: you know, all the way back in the seat, and 506 00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:29,080 Speaker 7: not get themselves in a position where they could interact 507 00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:31,800 Speaker 7: with a deploying air bag. So it's really important that 508 00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:35,399 Speaker 7: kids younger twelve and younger stay in the back seat. 509 00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:37,679 Speaker 7: And you know, I know you want to talk to 510 00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:40,320 Speaker 7: I know you want to talk to your kids going 511 00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:42,360 Speaker 7: on the fishing trip, but you can do that right 512 00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:45,640 Speaker 7: in the you know, right from front seat to back. 513 00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:47,960 Speaker 2: Seat, right through the rear view mirror. And it's just 514 00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:50,680 Speaker 2: because I see it's that to me is one of 515 00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:52,720 Speaker 2: the biggest sources of tragedy. I can't tell you how 516 00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:55,919 Speaker 2: many cars come through the shop, and I know they 517 00:25:55,960 --> 00:25:57,680 Speaker 2: don't come through it a second time because I scold 518 00:25:57,720 --> 00:25:59,440 Speaker 2: him enough the first time. Take the seat and put 519 00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:02,200 Speaker 2: it beyond an you don't need to do that, because 520 00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:05,919 Speaker 2: I don't think people understand the exploding force of an 521 00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:09,080 Speaker 2: air bag and how that's like a shotgun blast going 522 00:26:09,119 --> 00:26:12,040 Speaker 2: off in your face to a to a large degree, 523 00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:15,400 Speaker 2: so to a child, that can be that can be fatal, you. 524 00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:18,560 Speaker 7: Know, yeah, And it's it's really important that all of 525 00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:21,479 Speaker 7: us stay away front. Like if we're sitting in an 526 00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:24,920 Speaker 7: appropriate position in you know, in either the driver's seat 527 00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:27,720 Speaker 7: or the front passenger seat, we are in a good 528 00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:29,919 Speaker 7: position in the event of a crash, you know, the 529 00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:33,240 Speaker 7: airbag will deploy and we will move into it. The 530 00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:35,920 Speaker 7: problem comes when people get. 531 00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:37,440 Speaker 4: Too close to it when it deploys. 532 00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:41,199 Speaker 2: Right right, doctor, doctor Jamaican, I'm run an Anie in 533 00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:43,320 Speaker 2: the car. Doctor and I will both be back right 534 00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:45,159 Speaker 2: after this. Doctor, you can stick around. I'm sorry, I 535 00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:47,840 Speaker 2: should have asked that before. I assumed, right, you can 536 00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:48,760 Speaker 2: stick around a couple of minutes. 537 00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:50,040 Speaker 4: Happy to stick around. 538 00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:51,640 Speaker 2: Thank you so much. Let's pull over. Take the pause. 539 00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:53,280 Speaker 2: I'm running ani in the car. Doctor, I'll be back 540 00:26:53,400 --> 00:27:00,520 Speaker 2: right after this. Hey, it's us. We came back ron 541 00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:02,560 Speaker 2: and eding the car. Doctor. I'm here with doctor Jimonkin 542 00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:05,560 Speaker 2: from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. We're talking about 543 00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:08,720 Speaker 2: how next week is Child Passenger Safety Week, but we 544 00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:11,520 Speaker 2: like to think of Child Passenger Safety Week as every week, right. 545 00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:15,080 Speaker 7: Doctor, Absolutely, but it is nice to have a week 546 00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:18,800 Speaker 7: that reminds us that we should be thinking about, you know, 547 00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:22,360 Speaker 7: restraining our kids on every trip and buckling up ourselves right. 548 00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:24,600 Speaker 2: And being safe in the car because it is a 549 00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:28,240 Speaker 2: two ton projectile going down the road at sixty five 550 00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:32,240 Speaker 2: seventy miles an hour. You know. Now, I remember as 551 00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:34,199 Speaker 2: a kid, my dad had a rug story. He had 552 00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:37,719 Speaker 2: a sixty three Ford Galaxy station wagon, you know, one 553 00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:40,399 Speaker 2: of those things with the everything was metal inside the car, 554 00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:43,679 Speaker 2: and you know, I'm going to the airport, jumping the 555 00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:45,600 Speaker 2: back of the car and Dad would drive in. My 556 00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:47,240 Speaker 2: brother and I we'd roll around in the back of 557 00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:52,679 Speaker 2: the station wagon loose. How dangerous. Was you know, our 558 00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:55,880 Speaker 2: kids safer today or was it okay because that car 559 00:27:56,040 --> 00:27:57,200 Speaker 2: was made more out of metal? 560 00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:02,919 Speaker 7: No, lucky, you were lucky that you didn't have any 561 00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:06,600 Speaker 7: serious crashes in that situation. But kids are safer today 562 00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:10,879 Speaker 7: than they've ever been. Kids, child deaths and crashes have 563 00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:14,399 Speaker 7: been cut in half in the last twenty years for 564 00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:17,200 Speaker 7: and that's for a few reasons. Cars are safer for everyone. 565 00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:20,560 Speaker 7: We already talked about that. And more kids are in 566 00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:24,760 Speaker 7: child restraints than ever before. That is a big success story. 567 00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:30,280 Speaker 7: We've had good education campaigns, we've had stricter laws that 568 00:28:30,359 --> 00:28:33,000 Speaker 7: have been effective. But we know that parents want to 569 00:28:33,080 --> 00:28:34,040 Speaker 7: keep their kids safe. 570 00:28:34,080 --> 00:28:35,879 Speaker 4: So we want to. 571 00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:39,440 Speaker 7: Give the parents tools to and the information they need 572 00:28:39,440 --> 00:28:41,080 Speaker 7: to best protect their kids in a crash. 573 00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:44,400 Speaker 2: Right, is there a way? And obviously the first way 574 00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:46,520 Speaker 2: to set a good example for their kids. Parents shouldn't 575 00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:48,040 Speaker 2: let them roll around in the back of a sixty 576 00:28:48,040 --> 00:28:51,880 Speaker 2: three Ford Galaxy station Wagon. But is there things that 577 00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:55,160 Speaker 2: parents can do today, you know, to show their kids, Hey, 578 00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:56,840 Speaker 2: this is car safety. This is what you need to do. 579 00:28:57,840 --> 00:29:00,840 Speaker 7: Well. Yeah, of course your kids are always watching you, 580 00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:04,160 Speaker 7: so it's good to model good safe behavior in the car. 581 00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:07,160 Speaker 7: It starts, of course with buckling up on every trip, 582 00:29:07,520 --> 00:29:10,520 Speaker 7: but it also extends to things like distractions or staying 583 00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:14,120 Speaker 7: off your cell phone, being a generally being a safe driver. 584 00:29:14,840 --> 00:29:17,320 Speaker 7: And it's important to remember that while your kids are 585 00:29:17,360 --> 00:29:21,680 Speaker 7: young now, they will grow into teens who drive, and 586 00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:25,680 Speaker 7: they're watching you and learning how to drive safely. Another 587 00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:28,000 Speaker 7: thing that I like to tell parents is that safety 588 00:29:28,120 --> 00:29:31,440 Speaker 7: is non negotiable, Like you can negotiate some things like 589 00:29:32,320 --> 00:29:36,959 Speaker 7: meal times and bedtimes, but safety is not negotiable, and 590 00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:42,840 Speaker 7: so it's important to hold that line that it's important 591 00:29:42,840 --> 00:29:43,960 Speaker 7: that we'd be safe in the vehicle. 592 00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:46,280 Speaker 2: You only get one chance to not have the accident. 593 00:29:46,440 --> 00:29:49,800 Speaker 2: I like to think that you know that one moment 594 00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:53,760 Speaker 2: to be safe. So besides setting the good example, besides 595 00:29:53,840 --> 00:29:57,360 Speaker 2: putting them in restraints and booster seats and so forth, 596 00:29:57,400 --> 00:30:00,520 Speaker 2: and doing all those right things. Other comments other ideas 597 00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:03,040 Speaker 2: keeping their kids safe both in and around cars. 598 00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:05,959 Speaker 7: Well, of course, the most important is to buckle up 599 00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:08,360 Speaker 7: on every trip in the right restraint for their age 600 00:30:08,400 --> 00:30:12,480 Speaker 7: and size, tightly secured in the vehicle and the child 601 00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:15,680 Speaker 7: in the child restraint. But also kids are out and 602 00:30:15,720 --> 00:30:19,640 Speaker 7: about their pedestrians, their cyclists, and so important things to 603 00:30:19,680 --> 00:30:24,320 Speaker 7: remember always wear a helmet when cycling, you know, practice 604 00:30:24,360 --> 00:30:27,480 Speaker 7: safe walking, follow the rules of the road as a pedestrian, 605 00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:31,640 Speaker 7: don't dart out into the road. Also really important to 606 00:30:31,680 --> 00:30:34,480 Speaker 7: be aware of where your children are relatives to your 607 00:30:34,520 --> 00:30:35,880 Speaker 7: car when you move it. 608 00:30:36,360 --> 00:30:36,920 Speaker 4: There are so. 609 00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:41,200 Speaker 7: Many tragedies with kids getting into cars, whether being left 610 00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:45,160 Speaker 7: in cars or getting in them themselves. So keep cars 611 00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:47,880 Speaker 7: locked so kids don't enter when you're not around. 612 00:30:47,680 --> 00:30:51,240 Speaker 2: Right, Jessica, I've got two comments in our last minute. 613 00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:55,240 Speaker 2: One react to this the parents driving a car the 614 00:30:55,240 --> 00:30:57,480 Speaker 2: airbag lights on, which means the airbag won't work in 615 00:30:57,520 --> 00:31:00,000 Speaker 2: an accident fifteen seconds or less. What are your thoughts? 616 00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:02,720 Speaker 2: How would you address that? What's so bad about that? 617 00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:07,920 Speaker 7: Well, airbags are important protection for people in the vehicle, 618 00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:10,600 Speaker 7: and so if your airbag light is on, I would 619 00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:12,600 Speaker 7: suggest you call your mechanic well. 620 00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:15,120 Speaker 2: Because isn't it so that you know just the the 621 00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:18,280 Speaker 2: crush zone, the protection zone of the vehicle is designed 622 00:31:18,280 --> 00:31:21,600 Speaker 2: to work with an airbag and without it. Now we're 623 00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:23,160 Speaker 2: losing safety effect of. 624 00:31:23,200 --> 00:31:25,440 Speaker 4: This now absolutely yep. 625 00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:27,920 Speaker 2: Okay, where can the listeners go get more information?

And you're strapping a child 647 00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:29,440 Speaker 2: into that vehicle. Make sure the child is safe, make 648 00:32:29,480 --> 00:32:32,719 Speaker 2: sure the car seat is approved. There are resources, there 649 00:32:32,800 --> 00:32:35,640 Speaker 2: are places that you can go to get more information, 650 00:32:35,800 --> 00:32:37,800 Speaker 2: what's the best car seat, what's the best way to 651 00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:41,720 Speaker 2: put it in? And I can't emphasize enough the conversation 652 00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:44,680 Speaker 2: that we had with regards to when do you turn 653 00:32:44,720 --> 00:32:47,640 Speaker 2: the child forward and when do you allow them to 654 00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:49,600 Speaker 2: sit in the front seat, because I see it every 655 00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:51,880 Speaker 2: day in the shop. I see the mistakes the parents 656 00:32:51,920 --> 00:32:54,400 Speaker 2: are making. And you know, one of the things we 657 00:32:54,480 --> 00:32:58,840 Speaker 2: didn't talk about, and it occurred to me during the 658 00:32:58,880 --> 00:33:01,920 Speaker 2: pause over the last break that you know, I have 659 00:33:01,960 --> 00:33:03,520 Speaker 2: to ask her we're going to have her back again. 660 00:33:03,960 --> 00:33:06,360 Speaker 2: I have to talk to her about how safe a 661 00:33:06,520 --> 00:33:09,640 Speaker 2: vehicles where there's loose stuff in there, you know, do 662 00:33:09,680 --> 00:33:12,360 Speaker 2: the do the things on the back shelfs of cars 663 00:33:12,440 --> 00:33:17,640 Speaker 2: become projectiles in the event of an accident. And the 664 00:33:17,840 --> 00:33:20,720 Speaker 2: debris that seems to be collected in vehicles today because 665 00:33:20,720 --> 00:33:22,320 Speaker 2: it seems like we travel with a lot of junk 666 00:33:22,320 --> 00:33:24,280 Speaker 2: in our cars, and I wonder if that has any 667 00:33:24,320 --> 00:33:28,360 Speaker 2: effect on safety, and you know, becomes a danger in 668 00:33:28,400 --> 00:33:30,680 Speaker 2: the event of an accident. But for now, we'll focus 669 00:33:30,760 --> 00:33:33,720 Speaker 2: on child safety car Seat Week coming up next week, 670 00:33:34,040 --> 00:33:36,320 Speaker 2: and like she said, more information out at the website 671 00:33:36,400 --> 00:33:40,000 Speaker 2: IIHS dot org and you can see everything that they're 672 00:33:40,040 --> 00:33:44,200 Speaker 2: doing in terms of, you know, keeping us better informed 673 00:33:44,240 --> 00:33:47,080 Speaker 2: and keeping us safe.

It really is. Just 676 00:33:52,720 --> 00:33:56,040 Speaker 2: go travel any interstate, try and do the speed limit, 677 00:33:56,480 --> 00:33:59,000 Speaker 2: try and stay out of the way of everybody that's 678 00:33:59,080 --> 00:34:02,400 Speaker 2: driving kind of crazy. So don't be one of them. 679 00:34:02,760 --> 00:34:06,920 Speaker 2: Let's be safe and like I say, let's arrive alive. Boy, 680 00:34:06,920 --> 00:34:09,880 Speaker 2: there's a saying from the past. So but anyway, again, 681 00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:13,040 Speaker 2: thank you to doctor Jermakian and the Insurance Institute for 682 00:34:13,120 --> 00:34:15,520 Speaker 2: Highway Safety.
