Charge installation of warning systems for forgetting children: do not rush to obey
They will urge you to hurry up and buy these systems, threaten you with fines and warn you about enforcement.
But there is no reason to be equipped with the warning systems required by regulations, at least not with the entry into force on August 1

In the video: Explanation of using a system to prevent children from being forgotten in the car (Walla system!)
In the coming weeks and months, you are expected to launch a wide-ranging awareness and marketing campaign on every possible front.
In radio broadcasts, on television, on websites, in your Facebook feed, you will be bombarded with calls that urge you to urgently equip yourself with warning systems to prevent children from being forgotten in the car.
Systems that according to the traffic regulations will require everyone who drives a child up to the age of 4 in cars to be equipped with them by the time they take effect on August 1st.
But what they will not tell you there, that even if these regulations were amended hastily and with flaws - the unequivocal recommendation is not to rush to comply with them.

The citizen will pay the state will benefit
The hasty approval of the regulations provoked many objections both among professionals, politicians from various parties, including former Transport Minister Bezalel Smutrich, whose opposition was rejected outright by the committee, and of course the public who rightly felt that the state imposed regulations on them for good, but did not look at them properly A kind of tax - and a great deal of justice.
Although every death is unfortunate as a result of forgetting children in cars, the dry numbers speak of 25 children being forgotten in the car in the last decade as well as 462 hospitalizations as a result.
Deaths and injuries as a result of home drowning, suffocation and falls are long before on the list, not to mention deaths and injuries in road accidents as a result of non-closure.
Again, the feeling is that the state wanted to find a solution in the form of shifting responsibility and spending on parents.

This is a significant expense, in Israel about one million children under the age of 4 and the average rate of families owning a car with two children under the age of 6 is 79 percent, even after reductions and statistical discounts, it is hundreds of thousands of families who will be required to spend hundreds of shekels. In the house or car of grandparents driving the grandchildren.

How much money will you spend? Well, the price of the four systems currently approved by the Ministry of Transportation (and another 9 that are in the process of approval and are supposed to be approved during the month of June) ranges from NIS 299 to NIS 500. This is while the cost of systems is simpler, but does not meet the unique requirements of the Ministry of Transportation can range from a few tens of shekels to 150 shekels. Needless to say - there is no subsidy for these systems and the maximum credit to which cars in which such systems are installed as standard is entitled to a maximum of NIS 250. Why does the state seldom win an original system and rush to charge a system expense privately? We are not surprised.
The issue of enforcement is also still unclear. Even if we are required to present a certificate of originality or proof of purchase of the system, how and will the police officer determine that the system is normal and active? Will we be required to present an identity card appendix indicating the age of the children of the neighbors we collected from lunch? How quickly will an active and turbulent market for trading in inactive scarecrow systems develop? It is not clear.

The road to the report is long
But if you have overcome all these objections and come to terms with the decree, the unequivocal recommendation is not to rush and purchase these systems, at least not in the next four months.
Although the regulations themselves will enter into force on August 1, 2021, these will be a "dead letter" in reality, due to the fact that the actual enforcement will not begin until January 1, 2022. This means that if you have a child that falls within the mandatory definition - These regulations are not relevant to you at all.
And if you have a child in that range, you will not be fined for the lack of a system.

Moreover, as a condition for the start of enforcement by December 1, the Ministry of Transportation will be required to present to the Economics Committee the data complying with the regulation and the police's readiness for enforcement.
It is not unreasonable to assume that if these do not satisfy the members of the committee, the application of the regulations will be delayed.
In fact, if it were not for the fact that in addition to the NIS 250 of the fine, the violators will also be required to pay 4 points in the license, the more economical choice would have been to risk the fine.
In addition, if citizens' appeals against regulations are submitted to the High Court by then, the latter may disqualify them and bring about a significant change or cancellation of them. Repeal or delay the entry into force of these regulations.Finally, these regulations have been amended only temporarily for two years and in the first phase will be in force until July 31, 2023.
