back in the day we never used to wear seatbelts...

friends agree and say it was the same for them.

perhaps this 'common sense' we all claim to have was actually drilled into us by the ad campaigns? Remember through the 80's and 90's we were bombarded with ad campaigns about reckless driving...

Perhaps Qatar needs better campaigns!! TV, Billboards, the whole deal (ie. not just those dodgy little sign-posts that look like stopsigns)

Perhaps the parents need to be shocked into the realization of what position they are putting there kids in when they let them jump around without belts.

...But hey I did hear another theory the other day that 'insh'allah' is the reason people don't bother to belt their kids. ie) If its God's will it will happen...is that theory really true? (is there someone out there who doesn't belt their kids who can enlighten us??)
