Summer Vacations Are Starting—Let’s Travel Safe! ☀️
As the holiday season kicks off, many of us are hitting the road for well-deserved getaways. But before you get too comfortable in the passenger seat, here’s a crucial safety reminder: Resting your feet on the dashboard can turn life-saving features into serious hazards.



At ZF LIFETEC, we’re dedicated to promoting safer travel habits. While it might feel relaxing, propping your feet up compromises your safety in multiple ways: If airbags deploy, the force can cause severe injuries to legs and hips. This position also reduces the effectiveness of seatbelts, increasing the risk of harm in a crash.



📊 Safety Fact: According to a 2022 report by the European Road Safety Charter (ERSC), “wearing a seat belt reduces the risk of fatal or serious injuries by around 60%”. However, these protections only work when passengers are seated correctly.



Stay safe this summer:
👉 Keep feet on the floor.
👉 Sit upright with your seatbelt properly fastened.
👉 Share this tip with friends and family.



🛡️ This message is part of our commitment to Vision Zero—a future with zero injuries or fatalities from road accidents. Through education, innovation, and responsible behavior, we believe this goal is within reach. Let’s make every journey a safe one.

Join us in spreading awareness and encouraging responsible choices for all passengers.
