No seatbelt, no child car seat...

Dracula,

Absolutely,

All children are born equally, what turns them into land cruisers rage drivers is how they were educated: to disrespect and abuse others!

that kid shouldnt be in the front seat.

Remember " Like father-like son" movie: no belt!

BritExpat your safe here, I can never imagine a pile up here! One there are not many motorways and the motorways they have here have 4 lanes and hard any traffic!

Remind me to keep away from the route you take :o(

And I am very sure this man loved his family very much - but as my mother pointed out after Princess Diana died and I commented about her poor children - "She didn't love them enough to wear a seatbelt" Would it have saved her, who knows?

Google Fujairah, underaged driver, nine passengers (I forget how many of his sisters) approx 2006 - his parents gave him the keys to the Land Cruiser, he flipped it at a roundabout - parents watched it all in the Land Cruiser following - no seatbelts, no license, no insurance.

It's sad how people think that it is cool to not have a seatbelt. It's just sad. In Scandinavia, they put a seat belt even when they sit in back seats

I have been involved in a few pile ups on the Motorways back home. I can say by experience that I am only here because in all thoses crashes I was wearing a seat belt, even though the cars were a right off I excaped with minor injuries. In one accident they had to cut the roof to get me out as the the guy behind reared into me..:)

TRUE SAY....ABOUT HOSPITALS IN UK...!!!

SA

Cameras don't pick up everything, they don't tell you off and they don't make you at that moment put your seat belt on, they are only good after the event

then this will give better traffic for us.

About 12 months ago, I used to see the police at juntions walking up and down the stationary cars checking if people were wearing them. I have not seen that for a while

This morning i have seen a police driving his new SUV service (and ofcourse the car is undying LAND CRUISER here in QATAR) and guess what??????? HE IS NOT EVEN WEARING SET BELT! wat is dat then?

locals nowdays strapped up and it makes me happy...

I feel uncomfortable if I do not buckle up.

Seat belts indeed saves live.

oh,,What a Loss! :(

I am using seat belts and encouraging those who do not use to use, and it is really a step which should be changed and let be normal if adults who are sitting in the back to put seat belts.

no bd, 80 in the verge ;)

Is that 80 in the middle lane? ;o)

That's your own life, RS. Just don't try to kill somebody else.

but on the other hand, when i drive alone i dont let anyone to cross me, Drive Angry :)

i do not exceed than the speed limit of 80 inpresence of kid in my car. I take much care of it coz their life rely on me.

Great attitude, RS!

He probably saw it every day :o(

That was a cool cop!

Let me tell you about an accident in Kuwait I saw.

[not for squeamish!]

Egyptian woman driving her Merc at speed. Rear ends a truck. She goes through the windscreen and lands in front of her car. Car continues and squashes her head. Policeman comes along and scoops her brain back into her broken skull like it's really going to help. If she was wearing her belt she'd still be alive.

:( :( :(

Yes, children jumping all over the car - we call them free airbags

A matter of civilizational evolution...

Here is not now yet, it remains still stuck way back in time in many aspects!

Just look around and see how children are driven by their parents!

Its ignorance and a bit of delay too, particularly those - the authorities - who have the power to change things.

To prepare you for the worst, Rizks.

and why do i see most of the cars have this tag "Baby on board" stuck on the back when their babies are jumping inside like monkeys ? :(

They won't cry, B2D, when they see that Mama and Daddy are also wearing a seatbelt! They would rather imitate them.

Then there's the "My child cries when he/she is strapped. in" mentality.

Surely crying is better than dead! They'll stop crying when they realize they won't get their way.

Another possibility would be to give them the formula for the conservation of momentum! (Who believes what they see on videos nowadays?)

All new parents must be given also a video on the importance of seat belts.

It should be mandatory that before anyone leaves the maternity ward with their newborn they should have a tutorial about car restraints for children- for gods sake, I was made to watch a ropey video about breatfeeding, why not the importance of using a car seat? If you use a car seat for a baby, you are more likely to migrate onto one for when the child gets older

I believe in God, the logic tells me that prevention is better than cure.

When a fire takes place, some people might say stop the fire, and yes we must stop the fire if it happened, but you do not know the consquences of the fire.

Isn't preventing the fire better?

LP, That's why I mentioned Darwin: Natural selection. Only the strong shall survive - be it physical or mental strength.

To Quote Forest Gump: Stupid is as stupid does.

daywalker would u mind offing ur Caps lock plz ?

Stop Shouting, DayWalker.

ALL MOTHERS AND FATHERS WHO DO NOT USE SEAT BELTS AND PROPER CHILD SEAT ARE DEVIL.

WHICH SICKNESS MENTALITY CAN BELIEVE THAT IS DESTINY !!!!

MY HOLY ALLAH GIVES YOU A BRAIN, IF YOU ARE NOT ABLE USE IT YOU CAN NOT SIMPLY CALL IS JUST A DESTINY!!!!!!!!!!

MBK, you still wear a seatbelt, because you use your brain!

that no one die before his/her day.

Using a seat belt is better than not using it, you do not know what could happen.

The more of these unteachable monkeys die, the better. This is God's "evolution." The stupid will be extinct.

SA what if yer dont beleive in GOD?

I TOLD THAT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

JUST 1 WEEK AGO I WAS SHOOTING WITH MY WORDS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

MY NIGHTMARE CAME TRUE ....UNFORTUNATELY !!!!!!!

Technology is knowledge

Knowledge can save lives

saving lives is encouraged by God

God tells us to take the cause that saves and makes our life better, so utlizing technolgy in its way correctly is in line with Gods will.

SA

Aren't the invention of seat belts god's way of giving us the tools to protect ourselves?

Thanks to the Swedish who invented the Seat belt?

A seat belt can prevent it being your day.

But at the same time, yes seat belt can help in saving your life, but when it is your day 10 seat belts will not help, when death will come nothing can stop it.

Just "Gods Will" as they would say here!

What a crock!

If people put more reliance on proven technology instead of God's will, there would be a whole lot more people still alive today.

Plan for worst, hope for the best.

"A sad reality that authorities are unable to control as they are themselves part of the problem!" OMGod...very very true! I know for a FACT there are people in influential positions in this country who are themselves reckless drivers and take pride in it too. They are so full of themselves really! As a Muslima I fear for them that when they die and/or cause the death of their loved ones will God judge them to be murderers and those who committed suicide in vain?Audubillah!

that even some royals are not that clever.

Hislam

That is ridiculous, it is proven that seatbelts save lives - look at princess Diana, everyone in that car perished, apart from one person and guess what, he was the only one wearing a seatbelt. What does that tell you?

maybe she managed to go to all Arabic people mind and made a quick survey.

Nic prevention is always better than cure.

hislam

you comment illustrates the regional trends :(

Kareena74

I’ve heard so many nonsense’s here that I thought for a split second that you were serious!

Overspeeding and carelessness is the main caused of this accident that claimed the life of their childrens. I hope most people here in this country will learn what and when to press your gas accordingly.

In an accidents of such a scale, anyone is expecting seatbelts to do any good?

The cars are hardly recognised!

Guilt - when you don't wear a seatbelt you can have a fatal crash at very low KMPH

Don't you understand sarcasm?

I am surprised anyone survived this without safety belts. What an unnecessary waste of human life.

Kareena74

are you serious?

According to you, they plan for disaster instead of planning to avoid it?!

May their souls rest in peace and may God give the woman the courage and strength to overcome this tragedy.

It also goes on to prove their philosophy of having half a dozen kids.. Even in this case, 2 kids died but 3 are still alive, right? Just imagine if they had only 2 kids? They would have been childless now.. That is the main reason Arabs have so many children.. Just in case an accident occurs, they might lose half of them but still would have a few left..

Driving behavior in this region is the number one killer.

Safety mentality here can be compared to what was practiced in the west 60 or 70 years ago!

A sad reality that authorities are unable to control as they are themselves part of the problem!

What a tragedy.. Think people will ever learn or will a million more perish this way?Audubillah!

Guilt, read the story.

BTW, I saw a Kia Carens beside me at the petrol station last night. there must have been 10 people inside it and not a seat belt in sight :o(

this is a tragic news.. may God bless their souls and may this leave a lesson for all of us .. lets drive carefully and always wear seatbelts.

Oh my god, I cannot imagine it. Were they over speeding?

sadly all too common here. Al Ahli hospital wanted to give to every new parent a child seat to impress on new parents how important it was to ensure children are restrained. In UK, hospitals will not allow parents with new borns to leave until they have seen the car seat and the child in the car seat.

Darwin at work again.

Will they ever learn? Seat belts save lives.

May God rest their souls in peace....:(

Very sad indeed.
