Reminds me of my childhood days. There was this village doctor who used to drive me around the city introducing the world to me. And you guessed it right. I was always at the front. Talking to him hapa kihapa.

Hehehe! He ended up being shot in his house!

But there it is! One reason for having a child in the danger zone.

What could be the consequence of relying on enforcement in such a case? I'd never have had some very valuable lessons.

We need to change our strategies.

What's this sticker (BABY ON BOARD) at the back of most cars for? How does that information help the other drivers on the road?
Set out to correct the world's wrongs and you will most certainly wind up adding to them.

The fact that you need to ask shows that either you are an inconsiderate driver or the most considerate driver of all.

They really get to me too. Do some parents really think the dangers they expose their kids to?

Though front seat for kids (big enough to use the seat belt) or in a car seat is ok if you disable the airbag.


On Sunday I saw this guy in a Prado outside Sarit Centre with 3 small kids standing out of the sunroof while he was driving...talk about stupidity!


At what speed was he driving?
If 30km/h and in town then I see no stupidity in him and maybe in you for being quick to judge so fast.

Even 10km/hr doesn't justify this! I'm not a parent yet but I would never allow this to happen to even my enemy's kids.

Was your dad ever arrested for shooting and killing a neighbor?
How do you feel now for having caused the death of a neighbor?
