Who should use a safety restraint in a taxi?

Everyone. Adults should buckle up not only for their own safety, but also for everyone else’s.

In a crash an unrestrained object becomes a flying missile, weighing its weight multiplied by the speed of a crash. An unbelted adult can weigh more than the vehicle itself during a crash! An infant held in a father’s arms will weigh more than 300 pounds in a 30mph crash. No one can catch a 300 pound brick. So too, no one can hold onto an infant in the instant of a crash.
