As I was driving today I noticed in a van beside me a child maybe 8-10 Yrs in the Passenger seat wearing a back pack and no seatbelt, leaning forward on to the dash board, looked as if he was writing something. I looked over at the father who was leaning back driving along apparently without a care in the world about the lil guys safety, but was wearing his seatbelt.
This really bothered me, as all it takes is hitting the brakes and Juniors head smokes the windshield at minimum. I really wanted to say something to this absent minded moron, but didn't have the opportunity (I don't normally start stuff with strangers in traffic unless at work where I have the duty too, mind you kiddies aren't aloud on the property either).
I'm not a parent but do know how fast "accidents" happen, had I been a cop seeing this I would have nailed him to the wall. I just cant rationalize how someone could be so absent minded to there young passengers well being...
Folks, please prevent a tragedy and make sure your children are strapped in!
A ticket is the least of your worries, when you don't click it.
