It makes my blood boil when I see parents driving with their small kids unrestrained in the front seat (or any seat come to that) or even worse, driving with a toddler on their lap. But it also makes me really, really sad that they seem to care so little for their child's welfare and safety. I long to wind down my window and say something like 'Do you love your child? Then why are you treating them like a human airbag??' but I know it will get me nowhere. I guess the schools should run a safety campaign, because the best way to remedy the situation is to educate the kids. Of course, a lot of children are driven around by drivers, who have little or no control over them, and they're certainly not going to tell them to buckle up.

The police must be given more power to enforce the rules that already exist. Surely child safety is more important than talking on a mobile phone whilst driving?? Get some cops stationed at major intersections, and allow them to start handing out fixed penalty fines for all the offenders. Maybe then something will be done about the situation.

Oh yes, and for what it's worth, in my experience, the VAST MAJORITY of offenders are Qataris...............
