while taking my little boy to an appointment today i was driving down a very busy road it so busy it scares me driving down it and while i stopped at traffic lights i looked over at this other car and there was alittle boy of about 3 sitting in the front with no seatbelt on and resting his arms on the dash board all i can think was how stupid are you to allow your child to do this ,im so glad my son is in his car seat with his belt on and is safe ,but so parents couldnt give a dam and all i could think was if he has to slam on that kid will go through the window screen and wont stand a chance

hi i really know how you feel i think a good idea would be to write their reg number down and hand it into the police if the police would back this up by giving a warning the parents might think before setting of with children in the car tina xx

It's not just parents. Last week in our english tabloids was a photo of perhaps the worst Coach driver. He had a young girl sitting on the coaches dash, whilst he was on his mobile and with the other hand winding down his window. back to parents: Why do so many parents push their buggy out into the road behind park cars?!?!?!!?!? Much happiness Debi

I agree with you sweetie.... I saw a woman in a 4x4 with about 6 kids in the car without belts on whilst she was happily chatting on the mobile.... I must admit wound down my window and shouted "ITS ILLEGAL" but she didn't bat an eyelid!!

I remember in the 70s how the Green Cross Code man and Kevin Keegan used to tell us to find a space before we crossed the road!
