Attorney Explains Types of Car Insurance Louisiana Drivers Should Know About (Part A)

Child Safety is Every Driver’s Concern

The Louisiana Passenger Safety Task Force

Child safety on the highways and roads of Louisiana is of paramount importance to parents and families. It is also very important to those who are tasked with protecting users of Louisiana’s roadways.

As a result, the state has written a number of laws governing child safety. There is also an organization called the Louisiana Passenger Safety Task Force (LPSTF) that provides both services and information concerning child safety and child passenger seat use, as well as Child Passenger Inspection Stations throughout the state. By focusing on raising awareness about protecting the occupants of motor vehicles, the task force seeks to reduce death and injuries to children in motor vehicle accidents.

The LPSTF supports educational activities by the National Highway Safety Administration and their safety campaigns, and also creates and maintains minimum standards of instruction for Child Passenger Safety (CPS) technicians in various areas throughout the state. The group also supports a statewide network of certified CPS technicians with an advisory organization that meets quarterly and maintains a database of all CPS technicians in the state.

The task force conducts checkup events within the state and also provides instructional courses to recruit technicians and educate the community.

Louisiana Child Safety Laws

Any child under the age of 6 or who weighs less than 60 lbs. must be in a child restraint system or age-appropriate booster seat. Children from 6 to 12 must use a lap belt, shoulder harness or age appropriate booster seat.

The Department of Public Safety will suspend the license of any person after notification of a first or second conviction of breaking the child restraint laws until that person provides a notarized affidavit that he or she has acquired an approved, age-appropriate child restraint system and has complied with all other requirements for reinstatement provided by the law.
