Sometimes the law *does* catch up with drivers transporting unrestrained kids. From a local paper police blotter:
No seat belts, 9/02/10 Police pulled over a 48-year-old Moraga resident with six children in the bed of a pick up truck, along with three children in the front seat not wearing their seat belts near Moraga Road and Corliss Drive. Although none of the kids had a seat belt on, the mature driver was wearing one. The subject told cops she was providing a quick lift to the pals of her daughter. She was ticketed for nine violations of parental duties to have a child between 7 and 14 securely fastened in a seat restraint system. While the cop remained at the scene of the crime with the kids, the mom went home and retrieved a van to transport the kids home.
Can't help wondering - if she had a van at home, why was she driving all those kids in a pickup?
