So DH, DS and I were driving to go to a local amusement park here the other day and there was a lot of traffic on the street just before the entrance which is typical. They usually have several county police officers stationed along the street to help things along if the traffic gets too out of control.
So as we're puttering along I look to the side of me and can see down into the car next to me. There is 2 adults in the front, a baby in the back in a seat, and an adult in the back with a baby on her LAP and another older infant sitting right next to her sans seat . I occasionally see older kids hopping into cars with no seats but with no good opportunity to do anything about it. But now I looked at DH and said "I'm telling one of these cops". So I did. The officer did stop the car and talk to the driver but that's it, no ticket because he didn't stop them long enough for that to have been done.
I'm not some awful person that wants anyone to get a ticket but I honestly think that may be the only way to drive the point home. Who drives with loose babies in the car? I felt so sad thinking what could happen even with a simple slamming of the brakes. UGH. It's just infuriating.
