I am waiting for the day when one of my neighbours gets pulled over, she has 5+ kids in her car some mornings.

YANBU!

TBH the ounishment should be more than just a ticket and points. It is so dangerous, stupid woman!

Twinkie1 · 08/01/2008 12:23

She did deserve it - her insurance would have been null and void if she had had an accident as well as them all not being strapped in of course - a ticket is not penalty enough I hope it includes points and her car being towed away and crushed!

Funnily enough I saw someone drive past in a Peugeot 106 yesterday. Man was driving in the front and woman (looked like gran) was behind the passenger seat with young boy ON HER LAP fgs! He was about 2, don't know what she was thinking.

I know 7 seaters are expensive to buy/run etc as i have one. But my kids safety is priceless.

Worrying thing is she will probably do it again. Its surprising how there is still young kids without seatbelts on yet the parents are always strapped in .

she was at the end of the road where the school is so who knows how far she has driven like it and for how long!

I'm sure she was strapped in very safe with her seatbelt on!

I had a big falling out with my inlaws for taking dd (when a baby) out in their car on SIL's lap. Her 2 children were strapped in safely when they were babies but they thought it was ok for dd to go without They actually made out that i was in the wrong for saying that if she wasn't strapped into an appropriate car seat she wasn't to go out in the car.

Oh! DustyStar they were so wrong wrong wrong. But you knew that.

There have been a couple of times when me and baby boy have been going somewhere with my parents and they say 'Oh we'll take our car because we have the blue badge and it'll be easier to park'

I have always said that we'll take our car because it has the baby seat and they can walk a little bit further from the parking spot to wherever. They have always been perfectly fine about it.

I could move the car seat into their car but it's an isofix one and too much of a faff to take out and put back in.

i regularly see people with toddlers and small babies plonked on there knees in the back of there cars and it drives me mad. no one should be in a car unless they are properly belted up. i refused to take my parents somewhere over christmas as they wouldnt put the seat belts on in my car (it was a bit of a crush in the back) but if id had an accident it wouldnt have just been them who were hurt but also my dds who were also in the car (ive seen the adverts about the damage unrestrained pasangers do to other people in the car) and properly fastened in may i hasten to add
