I get really wound up when I see kids without their seatbelts on, why do parents let this happen?
Answers:
Pretty thoughtless, I agree, but most people are still kinda new to seatbelts. And what's the use of putting the kids in there if the parents don't buckle up? Everybody should be in those belts. :)
I was involved in a bad accident once where people were killed, and only one of the casualties was wearing a seatbelt. The rest were unbelted. My kids & I were buckled up, thank goodness.
When I was a kid (I'm 50), we rode to church in the back of a truck, and we had wrestling matches back there as we were riding. Imagine what a cop would think now if he saw that happening on the freeway! Whew!
Bad parenting skills.
you dont have to pass an IQ test before you reproduce
i totally agree annoys me even more when you see the parent has thereson so care about them selves but not about the child without theres ??
Couldn't agree more, they are either thoughtless or don't care, yet they will be the first to cry if and should anything happen.
Think it should be an instant penalty when caught. Life is precious and should be taken care of, especially that of our children.
it's because they are stupid,and they never had any up bringing to care about themselves.
Get's me too! Kill them they will have more! I saw six or eight kids crammed into a hyundai a couple of days ago climbing over the seat backs. Makes me want to hold them at gunpoint until the police arrive. But that would be illegal like how they are in our country. "Sorry about the last comment" Americans are stupid too!
No idea. It's absolutely criminal. I agree with the comment it's nearly worse when you see the parents with THEIR belts on, but not the children.
It really bugs me too when I see this.
It’s entirely possible the parents don’t know the kids are unbuckled; kids do have the ability to unbuckle themselves, the bigger ones do at any rate. Poor parenting could come into play, not wanting to fight with the kids to get them in seatbelts or something to that effect. It could also be an “Immunity” mentality; thinking that car wrecks only happen to other people, “it’ll never happen to me”. Why bother buckling your seat belt if you just KNOW you won’t be in a crash?
Some parents are in to much of a hurry to bother. Some parents can't be bothered to stop a temper tantrum when the child doesn't want to wear one.In other words their parental guidance for bringing up their children and their safety just isn't their.They are to rapped up in their own lives.
don't know, ask brittany spears.
.maybe they have never seen a bad accident makes me sad that the parents just don't care.
Its called ignorance.
may be they dont care
there's really only one word for them. simpletons.
cos they are lazy and ignorant of the law but perhaps when they see thier child,d remains after it has been thrown thru a windscreen or had thier head smashed up aginst the back of the front seat..they may think a again
let them know that bad things happen to people who don't buckle up
just yell at them until they do so
I hate that too.I think those types of parents are pretty stupid to not have the foresight that something might happen and that wearing a seat belt is for their child's protection.
because the parents don't remember the advert slogan "Clunk, Click for every trip"
This kind of supports the theory of evolution.
If the parent is so dumb that they can't protect their offspring from the most preventable of threats to their life, then they get wiped out, and the gene pool is protected.
It's the same with crash helmets for motorbikes. If you can't see why you would need one then it's best you don't live to breed.
Hi 4 years ago my son had a major car accident ,he did'nt wear a seat belt? He now has facial damage caused through hitting the hardshoulder on the M25 also he has damage his frontal lobe so he is forgetful , he used to look like David Beckham , now he has no self esteem and wants to die , so PLEASE wear a seatbelt , as his mother I suffer every day as the son that was mine died in the accident not only has his face changed but his personality is different too , please think of others when you put the seatbelt on , save them the distress my husband & I feel daily.My daughter and son in law have seen what not wearing a seatbelt can do , but still omit to challenge their children when they take their seatbelts off , the children are 11/7/4 yrs of age , all I get is a shrug of the shoulders as if MIND YOUR OWN?
im with you on this one it takes a matter of second to belt my two children in there car seats it is now just routine i do it without even having to think about it, my children are my world and there safety is paramount i cant understand why other parents do not feel the same !
because they are numpties! you see the kids leaning forward between the front seats. they would have no chance at all if the car braked suddenly.it's because their parents cant discipline the kids and give in to their every whim
Maybe they should remove the driving license from the parents as they cannot have that much sense to drive themselves let alone the family!!
Don't be! If their parents can't see what is safe for their children then why bother.
in malaysia who cares kids wearing seatbelt or not. sometimes the driver doesn`t wear seatbelt. No one cares (accept the police)
This also annoys me. Living near to a school, I see parents every day with children in the car without seat-belts, or child seats that meet the requirement of the law. I have also witnessed a saloon car with, wait for it, two kids on the front seat, and SEVEN on the back seat! Most of these kid's did not belong to the driver, but the parents must have known what was going on. God help these children in case of an accident, the parents do not seem to care.
Ignorance and they do not love their children! I find no other logical answer to that question!
do any of you know of anyone who has been fined for not wearing a seat belt. if your going to make a law then it should be enforced.these parents obviously don't value their kids lives
