Driving with kid on knee.

[eff80]

Lately I have seen several people in housing estates collect their kid at the top of the road and let them sit on their knee while they drive down the road. I even saw one gobshite putting his two kids on his knees and driving his van around the estate.
Is it just me being my pedantic self or is this totally irresponsible behavior ?

I don't think you're being pedantic at all.. it's very dangerous... there's no reason to suppose you can't have an accident in a housing estate... say if one of these morons had to jam on suddenly, small child can be really damaged by being crushed against the steering wheel... these people need a wake up call.. and soon

I don't bloody believe it. I just saw a biker (in head to toe safety gear) pick up a seven year old (in shorts and tee shirt) and drive down the road with her clinging on. I despair.
