Groups urge Congress to require child-safety features on cars
Marcela Carrera in Axcess News reports:
Consumers Union released a poll showing 8 in 10 Americans want more car safety regulations to protect children. The poll, conducted in May, also showed that 82 percent of respondents would choose vehicles equipped with a backup warning device and safe power switches. Seventy three percent think the government should collect information on non-traffic, non-crash incidents.
Consumers Union polled a random sample of 1,221 adults in an online survey. The margin of error is 3 percentage points.
A conference committee of House and Senate members is considering requiring safety measures as part of the Safe and Flexible Transportation Efficiency Act of 2004 (SAFETEA).
