Buckling Up

By end of this month Malaysians are expected to buckle up in the back seat. Now I have addressed this issue in the past and seems I was right.

At first people where asking what if I only have three seat belts in the back? Most obvious answer would be to carry only three passengers in the back, right. The government then decided it was ok to have four people in the back seat of the car, three people must buckle up the fourth of course doesn't need to. Then a few days later they said if you get pulled over then the driver will be fined for over loading.

Now does it really make sense, if the fourth person is unbuckled might as well not ask anyone to buckle in the back.

So yesterdays newspaper all those lower income families who can't afford to go and buy a bus to trasport their families around were complaining. I only drive an Iswara, only three seat belts in the back I have four kids, what can I do leave one at home everytime we go out? Another one complained that he had four kids, his wife and mother. So was he expected to leave his mother home with one kid?

So I guess the answer to the question for those people out there who don't have kids yet, stop having so many kids if you can't afford to buy a bus!
