Utah Law Talk

The governor’s Highway Safety Association released data showing that the number of fatal accidents in Utah declined 10 percent for 2008 over 2007 with the mileage driven only falling 4 percent. According to a story on KSL.com, child advocates say that the growing number of people using car seats for their children that are properly installed could explain this. Kathy Chambers from the Salt Lake Valley Health Dept. said that in 2008 “we taught more than 1,000 parents how to properly install a car seat.” The Salt Lake Valley Health Dept. also gave away several hundred car seats. At least two mothers attribute the car seats they received from saving their children from serious injury in car crashes.
