New York Corporate Limousines

Experiment with child seats and limousines.

Baby seat must!
On the one hand, nobody denies, but on the other – his actual absence has no effect on childrenĀ  transport, what personally seen Maxim and Anastasia – father and daughter.

RF Government Resolution dated February 28, 2006 number 109 clearly explains how to transport children under 12 years: it is necessary or limousine seat or a special restraint (from last year is recorded in paragraph 22.9 of the Rules of the road). Provided and the responsibility for transportation of children, so to speak, without anything – a fine of 100 rubles (Code of Administrative Offenses, § 12.23). We decided on the child’s own skin to try, as there are new rules. Stocked with money and went on to start a Long Island limo.

THREE from the chair
Catching your own limousine seat, click on the sidewalk. I wave my hands, letting him know that we desperately need to go. The first owner-driver – “our”.
- Good day, we would have to metro …
- No question – 200 rubles!
- Thank you – I start to push his limousine seat in the salon.
- Oh, man, what are you doing? – The driver takes the top To the third octave.
- How then, put a chair in order to fix the child – still bodrenko I replied. Seeing the photographer, mountain-limo driver understands that he has fallen. But where and what, he still did not understand.
- Guys, what are you?
- We would drive to the metro …
- A chair-why? – Do not desist “drove”.
- Well, this is why, now, so the rules! – I continued, pristegivaya her child.
- Well, you give, the artists …

Rest of the way we listen to a brief history of the driver: from “I myself a former military” to “they have nothing to do, come up with these chairs.” Goodbye, we understand how comical look like: two men, one girl and limousine seat. But back to the limousine: possibly private traders – so to speak, lovers of gain in a pure form, and say we will order this motor with a checkered!

Hello, TAXI!
- “Allure Limo,” Hello.
- I need a limousine with a baby seat: I have a child of seven years.
- Wait a minute – and I’m listening to a sad melody pipe, already guessing what will be the answer.
- You know how those limousines with child seats we do not, but all limousines are equipped with safety belts, so no problems.
- Thank you.

Then I remember that earlier this year was the best criticism on the law of the Manhattan limo companies. Often, learning that there is a young passenger who refused to serve these clients. The fear is understandable: January 1, entered into force responsible for the transportation of children under 12 years without proper restraints. They say the most visionary companies have bought these chairs, while others, knowing the mentality of our people decided to wait – maybe the inspectors will forget about the offense, as the forgotten-belt safety, driving without passing outside the settlements, and even a travel ban on traffic lights. I called the next company, “Don-auto.
- Hello, I have a child of seven years in the airport.
- What kind of limousine you’re interested in?
- Yes, I do not limousine, I’m here about the chair …
- What?
- Well, baby, now the child in a special limousine seat should limousine, and then fined.
- Wait a minute, I know … No, we do not have seats, but so far no one complains, belt persistence – answer me young lady.

Calls to other limo companies have only confirmed my belief that there is nothing wrong with that. But perhaps this metropolitan limo drivers are limousine, but as a law-abiding regions? Ringing in Novosibirsk, the company “Limo-Order”. I have to go with the child. How about a chair?
- This rule was, but it was canceled so that (?!), We limousine safely.
- How long?
- No, just recently.
- I have no complaints?
- Nothing, everything is fine – surely meets my manager.

Well, Siberians, well, the conspirators! Okay, call the south, say, in Krasnodar. Here is a limo company with aviation militaristic called “B-52.
- I was a child seven years to go, and it seemed to be a chair for him some special?
- You know, this rule has not yet entered (!), So that’s okay, no chairs go. Where you bring a limousine?
- Thank you very much.

Roll call on the country proves that life is still richer fantasies. For those who accept these laws? Where prevention and a reminder that children under 12 years should only be transported in the limousine seat (or device, its equivalent)? In any case, the rule is valid for several months, but no large-scale public advocacy on this issue is not seen or heard, although the federal program to improve road safety, provided billions of rubles …

Once again we are on the street, but without the chair. Once again we are voting on. Inhibits “five” with a good-looking uncle behind the wheel.
- We would have to the subway.
- Let’s go!
- I’ve heard seem to be children under 12 years can not be transported without a limousine seat?
- Boy, you must go – so let’s go!
Okay, let’s go, but I continue to bend its own line: does the driver do something about child limousine seats?
- Yes like cancel them – thoughtfully saith he. – Expensive and generally …

POLICE!
Expensive? Only here with which to compare, in what units to measure the safety of their own child? It seems to be a parent, without waiting for orders from above, he had to run to the store for a special chair. Perhaps there are those (myself saw when a child seat purchased), but – alas! – We seem, even in the “European” cities of Central Manhattan quite a bit. Most stubbornly believes that it is their “blow over” and all the accidents would get another (again – ay, where on this account public awareness campaign on television and radio?).

Moreover, the inspector DPS will not pay for a violation of any attention. I say this with knowledge of the case, as in the second part of the raid, special train with her daughter and no limousine seats (Nastya about this very surprised – she was accustomed to his seat and any inconvenience it had not experienced). Here, I foresee shouting in defense of guards, saying, “They have more important things and, therefore, give the resistance at once: the first and the sacred duty of any state inspector – to ensure safety on the road for all road users. And everything else – then.

Yes, the amount of the fine and the price of the most affordable limousine seat (1400 rubles) – comparable. On the other hand, if it is necessary from time to time, you can take a chair and hire. I easily found the ads rolling offices in the Internet: rent chair at night – 50 rubles a month – 700. Finally found the “advanced” limo company, where there are child seats, but even here not all so rosy: have to pay 150 rubles to the total order. Maybe so, but at least someone does rule, written for all. The remaining item “abolished”. How long – depends on us.

WHERE LOVE OF CHILDREN

The first regulations concerning the transportation of children in motor vehicles, were developed in Europe in 1958, and the first limousine seat for toddlers appeared in Sweden in 1963. Now the penalty for transporting children under 12 years without special restraint devices in various European countries ranges from 100 to 1500 euros.

Baby seats are required for several months, but no state propaganda on this issue is not seen or heard, although the federal program on traffic safety provided billions of …
