IVIKI LOKUPHEPHA ABAGWEBI LIGIJIMA UNYAKA WESITHUPHA OKULANDELANA E-SA

Naphezu kwenqubekelaphambili eqhubekayo mayelana nokuphepha kwezimoto, izingozi zomgwaqo zisamele imbangela yokuqala yokushona kwezingane ezineminyaka engaphansi kweyi-10. 

Noma kungumthetho ukuthi zonke izingane ezineminyaka engaphansi kwemi-3 ziboshelwe ngokuphephile esihlalweni semoto, isibalo esishaqisayo esingu-93% sabashayeli bamatekisi namabhasi sibukisa ngalo mthetho, ongaphoqelelwa ngempumelelo ngamaphoyisa endawo nawezwe lonke. Iningi lokulimala, ngenxa yezingozi zezimoto, kungenxa yokuntuleka okuphelele kwanoma yiluphi uhlobo lwezivivinyo zokuphepha kwezingane.

“Isonto Lokuphepha Kwabagibeli Bezingane liqala ngomhlaka- ¹⁸ kuya ^zingama -24 kuMandulo, kanti thina kwaMaxi-Cosi sifuna ngempela ukwenza abantu bakhulume ngokubaluleka kokuphepha kwezingane zethu ezimotweni eNingizimu Afrika,” kusho uDebbie Billson. Umqondisi Wezokusebenza we-Maxi-Cosi, okunguye obegqugquzela iVeki Lokuphepha Kwabagibeli Bezingane kusukela lasungulwa eminyakeni eyi-6 edlule eNingizimu Afrika. “Sifuna ukufundisa nokwazisa abasebenzisi bomgwaqo baseNingizimu Afrika ngobungozi bokuhamba emigwaqweni yethu nezingane ezingaboshelwe ngokuphephile esihlalweni semoto, kanye nokuqinisekisa ukuthi isihlalo semoto ezisisebenzisayo sihlolwa izinga lokuphahlazeka okuncane okudingekayo. Ukubophela izingane zethu esihlalweni semoto esivikeleke kahle kudinga ukuba into esiyenzayo sonke, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi sithatha uhambo olufushane kangakanani ngemoto!”

Umuntu omdala ophethe ingane ezandleni zakhe akanikezi nhlobo isivikelo uma kwenzeka ingozi. Engozini egijima ngesivinini esingu-50 km/h, isisindo somzimba sikhuphuka cishe izikhathi ezingu-30. Isibonelo, ingane enesisindo esingaba ngu-30 kg iphenduka iphrojekthi enesisindo sethani. Eqophelweni lomthelela, akekho okwazi ukubavimba. Amandla omthelela alingana nezindaba ezi-3 eziwayo. Ucwaningo lwakamuva olwenziwe yi-Arrive Alive luthole ukuthi ukusetshenziswa kwebhande lezihlalo kuphansi kakhulu Ezifundeni Zamabhizinisi Ezimaphakathi eNingizimu Afrika, okubonisa ukuthi abasebenzisi bomgwaqo bakholelwa ukuthi ezindaweni ezinejubane eliphansi ibhande alibalulekile! Ngesikhathi esifanayo i-Red Cross Memorial Hospital yelapha izingane ezilinganiselwa ku-20 njalo ngenyanga ngenxa yengozi yemoto!

Nakuba izingane ezingaphansi kweminyaka emi-3 kudingeka ngokomthetho ukuba ziboshwe ngokuphephile esihlalweni semoto, amabhande ezihlalo ajwayelekile ezimotweni eziningi aklanyelwe abagibeli abadala abangu-150cm nangaphezulu, ashiye izingane ezineminyaka ephakathi kwengu-4 nengu-12 ubudala zidinga ukusekelwa okwengeziwe uhlobo lwesihlalo esikhuthazayo. “Izingane ezingaphansi kuka-150cm aziphephile uma nje ziboshwe ngebhande lesihlalo, azikakhuli ngokwanele ukuthi zivikeleke,” kusho uBilson. “Ibhande elingezansi alihlali ezinqeni njengoba kuhloswe ngalo kubantu abadala, kunalokho ligcina lizungeze isisu, okungaholela ekutheni bashonele ngaphakathi uma kwenzeka ingozi. Ingxenye engenhla yebhande ihlezi ngokuyingozi entanyeni yabo, ngokuphambene nokuba sehlombe labo, futhi ingaphuka kalula intamo yengane uma kwenzeka ingozi! Isihlalo esilula sokukhuthaza singavikela ukulimala nokufa okungadingekile.”

Abathengi baseNingizimu Afrika banenhlanhla yokuba nezinketho eziningi zezihlalo zemoto ezihlolwe kahle, ezinenani elifanele, asikho isizathu sokungasisebenzisi! “Izihlalo zemoto ezijwayelekile zibiza u-1% kuphela yenani lezimoto eziningi eNingizimu Afrika,” kubabaza uBillson. "Esikhathini esijwayelekile sokuphila kwesihlalo semoto sisebenza sibe ngaphansi kuka-R2 ngosuku ukuze uqinisekise ukuthi ingane yakho iphephile - AKUKHO IZABA zokungayifaki ingane yakho esihlalweni semoto njalo lapho ingena emotweni!"

Nalu uhlu lwamathiphu okuphepha ukuze uqinisekise ukuthi usebenzisa isihlalo sakho semoto ngendlela ephumelelayo futhi ephephile ngangokunokwenzeka:

1. Hlala usebenzisa isihlalo semoto, ngisho nasohambeni olufushane

Kusobala, futhi kungumthetho, kodwa namanje ngezinye izikhathi sibona izingane zihamba ngaphandle kwesihlalo semoto. Izingozi zingenzeka, ngisho nasohambweni olufushane kakhulu. Izingane eziningi zithathwa ohambweni olungaphansi kuka-3km ngaphandle kokuboshelwa ngaphakathi, ngakho-ke, uma zingavinjelwe, umthelela ungabulala ngenxa yesivinini esingu-20km/h. Uma kwenzeka ingozi lapho ingane ingavinjelwa idivayisi yokuphepha, ingozi yokukhishwa emotweni inkulu izikhathi ezingu-6 noma ezingu-7.

1. Sebenzisa isihlalo semoto esinosayizi olungile

Kungcono ukuthengela ingane yakho isihlalo semoto ngokusekelwe ubude bayo bamanje nesisindo. Phenya futhi ucabangele zonke izinketho zakho lapho uthenga isihlalo esithi sihlanganisa amaqembu eminyaka yobudala. Ingane yakho kufanele ihambe ngesihlalo semoto esilingana nayo. Lokhu kuzoqinisekisa ukuphepha okwanele kwengane yakho uma kwenzeka uhileleke esimeni esingesihle sokushayisana.

1. Faka izihlalo zemoto ngendlela efanele

• Izihlalo zeqembu 0 noma Izimoto zezingane ezingaphansi konyaka owodwa noma ukuphakama okungama-80 cm kufanele zihlale zibheke ngemuva.
• Uma imoto yakho inamaphuzu e-ISOFIX, ungakhetha noma isiphi isihlalo semoto enoxhumo lwe-ISOFIX noma ukhethe isihlalo esisebenzisa ibhande lemoto yakho. I-ISOFIX Systems inikeza ukuphepha okwengeziwe ngokususa iphutha lomuntu lapho isihlalo sifakwe emotweni.
• Uma ungenayo i-ISOFIX ungasebenzisa ibhande lesihlalo elifakwe isihlalo semoto. Qiniseka ukuthi uyakwazi ukuqondisa ibhande ngendlela efanele futhi ulidonsa liqine ibhande lesihlalo semoto.
• Donsa ihhanisi lezokuphepha lesihlalo semoto liqine. Uma ukwazi ukushutheka umunwe owodwa phakathi kwehhanisi nesifuba sengane yakho, iqine ngokwanele.
• Funda imanuwali yesihlalo semoto noma ubuke ividiyo yokufaka bese ulandela imiyalelo ngokucophelela.

• Zombili izinhlobo zezinketho zokufaka ziphephile inqobo nje uma zifakwe ngendlela efanele, i-Isofix nokho inikeza ukuphepha okwengeziwe kodwa ivimbela ukufakwa okungalungile phezu kwenketho yebhande lesihlalo.

1. Khumula ijazi lengane yakho

Ijazi eliwugqinsi lingenza ihhanisi lingasebenzi kahle. Uma ingane yakho ibanda, sebenzisa ijazi layo njengengubo phezu kwehhanisi.

1. Qinisekisa ukuthi ihhanisi lokuphepha likubude obufanele futhi alisontekile

Ihhanisi kufanele ngaso sonke isikhathi lilungiswe ukuze libe nobude obufanele obusehlombe. Bheka ukuthi awekho yini ama-twist kumabhande. Ukubekwa kobude obungalungile behhanisi kuvame ukuholela ekutheni izingane zizikhulule, zibaleke esihlalweni, amakhanda agqizeke futhi okungenzeka ukuthi ihhanisi lingaphunyuka ngesikhathi kushayisana.

1. Sebenzisa isihlalo semoto esibheke ngemuva isikhathi eside ngangokunokwenzeka

Kuphephe kakhulu ukuthi izingane nojahidada bahlale esihlalweni semoto esibheke ngemuva baze okungenani babe nezinyanga eziyi-15 ubudala . Akunandaba ukuthi imilenze yabo iphumela ngaphandle, kodwa uma amakhanda abo ephakeme kunegobolondo lesihlalo, badinga usayizi olandelayo. Intamo yengane ivuthwa ngokuya ngeminyaka, hhayi lapho ifinyelela esiqongweni noma isisindo esithile. Kuze kube yizinyanga eziyi-15, intamo yengane ayikakhuli ngokwanele ukuba imelane namandla asheshayo okungqubuzana okuphakathi kwangaphambili ngenxa yekhanda layo elisindayo. Ukucindezela okwedlulele entanyeni yengane kungase kuholele ekulimaleni okubi kwentamo. Lapho uhamba ubheke emuva, amandla okushayisana kwangaphambili asakazwa kangcono endaweni enkulu yomzimba wengane, okuholela ekucindezelekeni okuncane ekhanda nasentanyeni.

1. Qaphela ama-airbag angaphambili acushiwe

Indawo ephephe kakhulu yesihlalo semoto esibheke ngemuva isesihlalweni esingemuva. Lokhu kugwema ubungozi bokuthi ama-airbag angaphambili afuthelane esihlalweni. Vala i-airbag yangaphambili uma usebenzisa isihlalo semoto yakho esihlalweni esingaphambili somgibeli futhi ubeke lesi sihlalo endaweni engaphezulu kakhulu.

1. Gcina izinto ezivulekile eshalofini lephasela elingemuva

Engozini, ngisho nezinto ezincane ezixekethile zingaphenduka ama-projectiles ayingozi. Zikhiphe ngokuphepha.
