It fun riding along on the slow-speed chase :)<BR/><BR/>I remember when the seatbelt laws came into effect here b/c I was about 2 weeks into enjoying my first car, which was a jeep. Pretty stupid to drive in an open jeep sans seatbelt, which the officer was starting to tell me...then he noticed my bare feet. I explained that I'd just come from the beach & started to wiggle my toes so he could see the sand between them---he just groaned & let me off with a warning. I think there was sand in my head back then :)Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09638509010212406012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6730746285012325853.post-58120085748226432282008-03-06T13:50:00.000-07:002008-03-06T13:50:00.000-07:00Thanks Crabby.

We would occasionally get calls about children left outside bars too. it bears repeating,why do we have to have a license to drive, but not one to raise children?<BR/><BR/>Sis, yes, it was quite funny.<BR/><BR/>Leah, doesn't it though.<BR/><BR/>Frank,I usually managed to feel it tighten across my hips before it strangles me. It helps to know you aren't alone though.Rebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05318594769530526005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6730746285012325853.post-69091199997787464252008-03-06T10:50:00.000-07:002008-03-06T10:50:00.000-07:00I'm so relieved to hear other people have almost s...I'm so relieved to hear other people have almost strangled themselves with their seatbelt!<BR/><BR/>I feel (somewhat) less stupid now.<BR/><BR/>You've done a public service Reb.

I can remember spending about 20 minutes at a rest stop between Toronto and Montreal watching over a sleeping baby who was left in her car seat while her young mother and friend were inside eating. We talked to them about the risks when they finally came out to the car. The mom suggested we mind our own business because she could see the car from where she was seated. (then why didn't she come out when we kept peering into the car to look at the baby?) In retrospect, we should have phoned police.<BR/><BR/>The seatbelt gagging incident was hilarious.. or would be if I didn't do that to my own self from time to time. :]<BR/><BR/>Good post, Reb.Hilaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12787493532006658679noreply@blogger.com
