when there are only 3 seatsbelts!! the boys would ahve been aged around 5-9 years. there were also two adults in front (passengers and driver)

that is what I saw today in a car that parked next to me at the supermarket as I was about to go home..once they went into the supermarket I called our local polices comms and reported them.

no idea if the police caught up with them or not but I did all that I could do

I've spoken with the police officer at my kids' school about the many families who put 4 kids in back seats and he said if it is their only mode of transportation he lets it go. :eek: He went on to say most families live close by so they don't drive far. Well, if they live close, they can WALK! We frequently walk, it is 8/10th of a mile for us and most of the kids in the school live closer than we do and the vast majority have no busy streets to cross to get to the school. There are lots of sidewalks and all but two streets in the area are 2 lane with 25-30 mph speed limits so it is not a dangerous area to walk.

in Utah if you have more people than seatbelts you use the seatbelts for that many and not the others. so If I have 4-5 kids in the back of a sedan with 3 seatbelts I buckle 3 and leave the others unbuckled.

over here you get get fined $150 per person not in a seatbelt/carseat...if you are over 15 then that person gets the fine anyone under 15 the driver gets the fine.

I only carry as many passengers as there are seatbelts in my car techncially I could carry two (unless I take the carseats out then I could carry 4) but realisticly only 1 as the seat in the middle of the two seats is too narrow for your average adult.
