They are children, not crash-test dummies!

Last I checked South Africa wasn't some backwards country where pertinent information was limited to the few, well for the most part at least. Even if you aren't educated to the highest degree you still should know what's safe and what's not. So let's get into it...

What the bloody hell is it with parents and allowing their kids to either stand on the seat next to the driver or in the back in between the two seats.

When you drove off with your little one bouncing around like a bag of biltong at a rugby match you never paid any mind that you were practically signing their death certificate. In the case of an accident the possibility of being seriously or fatally injured is doubled if not tripled when you forget about their safety.

What grates my tits even more is when the adults in the car have their belts on and the kid is standing between the front seats or on the lap of the front passenger, so it's either they go canon balling through the windscreen or get crushed to death by the air bag pushing them into their carriers chest.

Maybe I just don't understand or maybe I missed the memo and nowadays kids are responsible for their own lives, in which case they should be allowed to drink and smoke.

All I'm saying is, if you were grown enough to put two and two together and bring a child into the world then be grown enough to put their life first.
