Automobile Safety It is important to review with others, who may be supervising the child, the rules for car safety. All children age 12 and under should ride in the back seat. Also children weighing less than 40 kg should be in the back seat. * Automobile Safety This is especially the case if there are airbags in the front seat, as airbags are only designed to protect adults and may injure children. Since airbags inflate at high speeds, a child who is improperly seated may be hit by an inflating airbag. That is not just an opinion but is also law in many of the U.S. states and other countries. * Automobile Safety Child safety locks prevent children from accidentally opening doors from inside the vehicle, even if the door is unlocked. The door, once unlocked, can then be opened only from the outside. * Words and Phrases pertaining [p?(:)teini?] a. 关于；有关系的 safety feature 安全装置 * Words and Phrases incidence [insid?ns] n. 发生(率) unconscious [?nk?n??s] a. 失去知觉的 * Words and Phrases pothole [p?th?ul] n. 坑洼；坑洞 reckless driving 鲁莽驾驶；危险驾驶 * Words and Phrases World Forum 世界论坛 standards body 标准机构 * Words and Phrases roll cage (汽车)安全栏 booster seat 辅助车座椅 * Words and Phrases equivalent [ikwiv?l?nt] n. 相等物 a. 相等的；对应的 reciprocity [,resipr?s?ti] n. 交换；交流；互惠 * Words and Phrases high-mounted stoplight 高位制动灯 federally [fed?r?li] ad. 联邦地；在全联邦范围内 * Words and Phrases model year 型式年份；年型 rollover [r?ul,?uv?] n. 滚动翻转 * Words and Phrases assess [?ses] v. 评估；评定 death toll 死亡人数 * Words and Phrases in line with 和…一致；按照；符合 per capita 人均 permanent disability 永久残废 * Words and Phrases inflate [infleit] v. 使膨胀；使得意 active safety 主动安全 * Words and Phrases autonomous system 独立系统 infrastructure [infr?str?kt??] n. 下部构造；基础结构 * Words and Phrases passive safety 被动安全性 crumple zone 溃缩区 scenario [sinɑ:ri?u] n. 事态；局面；情节 * Text：Automobile Safety Automobile safety is the avoidance of automobile accidents or the minimization of harmful effects of accidents, in particular as pertaining to human life and health.
