We have just come home from a trip out today and on the motorway, saw a ford focus with 2 adults in front of car both with belts on, 4 young children (ages 3 - 7 approximately) in the back of the car none restrained, and a younger child sitting on the lap of the passenger seat adult who also appeared not to be restrained. I feel so angry that these adults were unnecessarily putting these children at risk in this way. It's not like we could have done anything as we didn't have a phone with us, and didn't want to make faces at the driver in case I distracted her and caused an accident. A motorbike policeman passed them out, looked in and just carried on. I hope the driver is a mumsnetter and sees this but slim chance of that!
Why is it in this day and age people think this is acceptable.
