The Child Restraint Systems Law warning period ended mhfeiight June 30 and violators henceforth may be subject to a fine of $10 The warning provision in the law which has been in effect since July I, 1WX, has been quite effective. Voluntary usage rates for children under two years of age have increas ed from SO percent prior to the effective date of the law to 46 percent during the first year. Some safety officials, however, are hopeful the cur rent usage rate of SO percent will increase substantially when violators are subject to a fine beginning July 1. According to Department of Crime Control and Public | Safety Secretary Heman R. Clark, the law only covers children under two years of age riding with their parents in the family vehicle. "The child restraint law is a good law," Clark said. "It's saving lives and the cost is minimal. Even loaner/rental programs are available whereby child seats may be obtained for a nominal fee by parents who prefer to rent or cannot financially afford to purchae one." Clark encouraged parents to avoid the embarrassment, in convenience and eoat of a possible court appearance by voluntarily complying with the Child Restraint Law. "Their decision to place their child in a safety seat may be the most important one of their life " Clark con cluded. According to figures releas ed by the State Highway Patrol today, nine children, 10 years of age and under, were killed during the first three weeks of June. One of the deaths involved a five-month-old baby that was * not secured in a safety Mat. Patrol figures indicate that five of the nine ware unbelted passengers in vetaidea involv ed in accidents and the other four were struck and killed when they walked or ran into the path of an oncoming veto cle. Highway Patrol Com mander. Colonel D.L. Mat thews, also pointed out that traffic deaths are currently running four percent ahead of last year at this time "We had a reduction in traf fic deaths in IMS compared to the previous year, but if the present trend continues this could be one of our deadliest years," Matthews warned.
