Hey there, parents! Safety for our little adventurers is a big deal, whether they’re chilling at home, strutting on the street, or cruising in a car. But here’s the scoop –kids in the front seats of a car? Not the coolest move. Accidents happen, brakes get slammed, and kiddo can get hurt. The General Directorate of Traffic – Bahrain is stepping up to the plate to keep our mini explorers safe.
Now, let’s flip through the rulebook a bit. We’re talking Article 45 of Law No. (23) of 2014, the Traffic Law. This law’s got our back when it comes to safety. It says, if you let kids under ten ride shotgun, you will face a fine not less than BD20 and not more than BD100.
Wait, there’s more! Peek into Article 39 – this one says if someone’s been caught letting kids under ten hop in the front seats, their driver’s license could take a time-out for thirty to sixty days.
And just when you thought the story was over, there’s Article 22 of Decision No. (154) of 2015, part of the Traffic Law Executive Regulation. It says, “Hey, no kids under ten in the front seats while driving around.” A simple rule, but a crucial one.
So, the bottom line – it’s all about keeping our kiddos safe and sound. Following these rules might seem like a small thing, but trust us, it’s a game-changer when it comes to giving our tiny passengers the smoothest ride.
Drive responsibly!
