Most annoying thing ever!

People who don't strap children in cars and allow them to stand between front 2 seats. Makes me feel sick just thinking what sharp breaking would result in! Children are precious gifts and they should be looked after properly.
Well that's my rant over!

0h yeah that really annoys me too & also when the cars are too full of people that the kids are jumping about hanging out the windows!!!

That is a bit much I've seen children do that. There was accident a few days back here, I don't know much about it, just that one of the roads were blocked, but yesterday my mum went past and said there was flowers and a pic of a young lad and a toddler so we guessed they'd been killed and my mum said that's why we all have to be careful. It really brought it home to me how easy it is for an accident.

One of my neighbours is always doing it. her daughter is 2 & she lets her sit in passenger seat with no seatbelts. On the odd ocassion she's in the back she runs along the seat. Hopefully they will never learn their lesson the hard way

my neighbour was the same.. til they had an accident wit him in the car... he got a big bang on the head... but that was it luckily.. lets just say they quickly invested in a proper carseat!!!

OMG it really makes me angry too - you'd never give your kids a set of knives to play with so why let them jump all over the car?!
I make all my kids sit in proper seats with seatbelts etc on and I must say, lately I've been wearing my seatbelt every trip too (i used to be a naughty girl

but not any more!)
