Implement Mandatory Inclusion of Child Safety Protocols in Driving Examinations

The issue

The personal significance of this advocacy cannot be understated. Fueled by a burning desire to help those who cannot help themselves, we are rallying for a significant change in vehicle driving tests. Imagine waking up one day to discover an innocently overlooked lapse in safety procedures has led to a tragic event involving a child. This growing concern sparked an advocacy that must be heard: mandatory inclusion of child safety procedures in all driving exams.

We are calling for all driving tests to include a mandatory sequence involving a child's car seat, with emphasis on proper exit strategies to ensure no child is unintentionally left behind. Moreover, we look to introduce an overarching awareness campaign with the hashtag #KidsOutOfCars to ensure this message reaches as many people as possible.

Our ultimate aim is to incorporate these additional safety measures to protect our children – our future. This is a plea for change on behalf of those too young to drive, those too young to understand the dangers a vehicle can pose if safety standards are overlooked. By implementing this proposal into driving test standards, we can educate aspiring drivers and help reduce the tragic statistics we bear witness to year after year.

Stop needless tragedies before they happen. Join our campaign and sign this petition. Lend your endorsement to ensure we develop safer, more considerate drivers, and ensure #KidsOutOfCars becomes a norm, not a desperate plea.
