Four out of five parents surveyed not only agree that it's child endangerment, they also say they are disgusted by the behavior. The survey couldnt be more conclusive the public has zero tolerance for deadbeat drivers, said Janet Dewey, executive director of the NSC's Air Bag & Seat Belt Safety Campaign. It also makes clear why these enforcement blitzes are so necessary. The survey found that two out of three deadbeat drivers say that it would take citations with stiff penalties like license points to get them to protect children.

Most troubling is the fact that 3 our of 4 of these people aay they know that traffic crashes are the number one killer of children and that driving with an unrestrained child is against the law. Thats why the National Safety Council (NSC) calls them deadbeat drivers. According to this survey, these drivers aiq putting at least 6.5 million children at deadly risk in vehicles in the event of a crash. Drivers who fail to ensure that their especially children -passengers are buckled are needlessly endangering them and violating the law. Law enforcement authorities should take the necessary steps to aggressively enforce those laws," said Jim Hall, Chair of the National Transportation Safety Board. More than 6,000 law enforcement agencies in all 50 states are conducting their fifth coordinated enforcement blitz on drivers with unbuckled children, called the Opera- than laws.
