Trackside Tip: Never leave a child alone in a car!
August 8th, 2008
It’s sometimes important for enthusiasts to take a break from the passion of speed in order to consider the sober side of motoring culture. Safe Kids Worldwide offers drivers the information they need to keep children safe in and around cars. As we approach peak summer heat, it’s especially important to remember that children are three to five times more responsive to rising interior temperatures — and even on mild days, car interiors can become dangerously warm in a matter of minutes.
Earlier this week, we tracked the interior temperature of a Mustang for 15 minutes. Watch the footage to learn our findings!
The problem is real — and sadly, it’s widespread. Be a part of the solution: make a commitment to never leave a child alone in a car. And if you come upon a child that has been left alone, alert law enforcement immediately.
Many happy miles,
Adam

Hearing stories about kids being left in cars is so upsetting. It’s totally irresponsible and actually, criminally negligent should something happen to the child. Thanks for making this important video!
