What an Idiot!
And I'm being nice when I say that.
This morning, I heard about this accident.
From Ten News
From the Channel 9 News report, it says the youngest was 6wks old.
In Victoria, road laws state: (from Vicroads.vic.gov.au)
Children under seven years of age must be in a child restraint or booster seat when travelling in a car. The type of restraint will depend on the age of the child:
The driver was allegedly unlicensed & over .05. Then with 9 of the 10 children unrestrained, not to mention an over crowed car... I'm just shocked.
Irresponsible, selfish, stupid, reckless, incompetent & careless are all things that spring to mind. Those poor injured children, who could have possibly been killed, through the disgraceful act their mother/guardian did.
Grrr!!! Some people DON'T THINK!
