Be Very Careful When Using After-Market Seat Covers On Your Car Seats



We at www.carsinyankee.com have come to the conclusion that people tend to overlook the possible dangers around the use of car  seat covers. Some people cover the seats of their cars to improve the beauty of the interior of the car, others use it to cover stains or dirts on such seats especially those types that will be difficult to clean or remove. Unfortunately a good number of these people drive cars with side-impact airbags which are mostly located on the side of the seats especially the front seats depending on the make and specification of the car.


Have you ever asked yourself what impact these seat covers will have in the event of a crash or incident and the side-impact airbags needed to deploy to save your lives?

First we really need to understand what these SABs are. They are devices that inflate within milliseconds in the event of a crash to cushion and protect your head, chest and sides from injuries arising from such incidents that affect the side of your car. There are three main types of SABs viz: chest/torso, head/chest combination and the head 

SABs. 

But the focus of this write-up is the chest/torso types which are mostly mounted on the inside of the sides of the (mostly) front chairs (depending on the type of car and specifications).
The benefits of these SABs are self explanatory in the sense that they protect your vital organs from potentially fatal crashes. Even the US' National Highway Transport.


Safety Authority estimates that "if all the vehicles on U.S. roads were equipped with head protection SABs, 700 to 1,000 lives would be saved per year in side impact crashes.
They also estimates that, in side-impact crashes involving at least one fatality, nearly 60 percent of those killed have suffered brain injuries", www.safecar.gov.


Car makers when making the seats whether leather or upholstery usually factor in these side-impact airbags when making the seats especially with stitching the edges of such chairs so that the airbags can safely deploy and deploy fully in the shortest possible time. But many makers of these car seats do not factor this thereby producing, marketing and selling car seat covers that are not compliant with car seats equipped with these side-impact airbags which Cars In Yankee is here to teach you today.

From August 2013, to sometime in 2015, Kmart shopping chain in Australia had to recall more than 22,000 seat covers which they realized from testing could prevent side-impact airbags from deploying or fully deploying in the event of a crash. So have you taken a moment to check if the car you are using has a side-impact airbag and checked if your car seat cover (if you have one installed) are blocking their path of deployment at that moment when you  need them the most?



You need to realize that any seat cover meant to be airbag friendly must have alterations made to it to accommodate the deployment of the airbags and some marketers advertise that you will find a "Seat Airbag Safe" logo on them. Now you know the dangers that could arise from the improper use of car seat covers when they stand in  the way of the side-impact airbags, why don't you check for your already bought car seat cover while being more careful when shopping so that you will buy the right ones, compliant with the SABs so that you won't be robbed of your investment’s value in saving your life when it is most needed. http://carsinyankee.com/love you to stay safe and properly guided in your auto related decisions so always check our blog for useful posts to keep you adequately informed!



Improper Traffic Lights Usage In Nigeria



Traffic lights are installed on roads to help maintan a safe and efficient usage of road intersections and junctions. Due to confusion that usually arise from motorists and riders getting to an intersection from four or more lanes and everyone wanting to cross to the other side at once thereby creating a bottleneck, they are installed to ensure the different lanes are made to pass correctly. I n some places, human traffic officials are stationed at the intersections to control traffic but due to under-staffing and  other human factors  traffic lights are installed.

From observations, we have found that a lot of drivers do not obey these lights, many do not know that the law states that on getting to an intersection, you give way to raffic from the left. It is worrisome that many drivers always try to beat the traffic lights as they transit from either Go (green) to Stop (red). Commercial motorcycle riders are mostly guilty of this. Some motorists are equally guilty of this in the evenings or early in the morning when traffic enforcers are not yet on duty. In nearly all such scenarios, there is a near-miss, an actual crash or a resultant logjam. One incident that happened last month was at the traffic light at Apple Junction in amuwo Odofin LGA, Lagos.

A motorcyclist tried to beat the traffic light, brushed a Toyota Hilux and ran into the path of a Honda CRV driven by a woman, badly damaging both the vehicle and the woman's trip with her kids that early morning. Another phenomenon prevalent is when motorists get the the traffic lights, most times people who are going forward go to the extreme right lane usually reserved for those going right. The rule of traffic lights is that the lane to the extreme right should be free from encumbrances so that traffic on it can keep moving to the right, merging with traffic from the left if any, but most times ignorant motorists who are going straight block this lane. Certain road users in such lanes honk impatiently so they can get off the lane but funily, you find them looking like, "ehen, can't you see that we are waiting for the light"  ...doing the right thing the wrong way. Plenty people fail to realize is that there is usually a sign mounted at such intersections instructing motorists to adhere to this rule... Sadly it is regularly flauted.


Please when next you are approaching an intersection, especially one with traffic lights and you have the intention of going straight, please keep to the lane next to the xtreme right as the extreem right lane is for traffic taking the next right turn. This will help decongest traffic and enhance safety and efficiency of road usage.

At http://carsinyankee.com/ we are have a #Traffic Thursday campaign across our different social media handles, look out for them and participate as it promises to be both educating and rewarding too!
Go ahead, obey all road signs, rules and regulations so together we can make the world a better place for us all and our children yet unborn.
