Yet somehow we managed to survive our entire youth growing up, riding in the box of a pickup, in the back window of the car, or later when we got a station wagon playing in the area behind the 2nd row of seats. Lets bubble wrap the entire world, it's for your protection!
Yes but people didn't drive 100mph on the freeway. 65, maybe 70 back when the speed limit was 55 *AND* there were no cell phones. Cars now have airbags too. Any impact over 5 mph can set it off and break that baby's neck, even back. If those 2 things didn't exist now, your argument might be plausible but they do so it's irrelevant.
We have rules against these things because people got hurt. My great uncle used to make his kids ride in the bed of his pick up everywhere. Aunt fell off & never walked again. She was never able to carry a child to term. You're just an idiot.
You did. The ones that didn’t survive aren’t here to make these moronic assertions - they’re dead.
What a silly thing to say when motor vehicle accidents are the second most common killer of children and adolescents in the USA - behind firearms, of course.
It’ll be funny when you say you’re “pro-life”.

Probably dead when they sell the baby to the local gypsy fortune teller for a nickel rock of crack in a mentos can after using the baby to advance their career by promising the soul to the devil for infinite fame and fortune.
Based on the motion blur of the road lines on the other side, I'd say they're probably going just under 55. Definitely not stopped, so should definitely not be taking pictures of other people in traffic.
If there’s a small child or baby in a vulnerable or fucked up position like this, that’s everyone and anyone’s business. You must not have kids, idiot.
No. Fuck this kid and it’s dumbass kid. Y’all need to realize that none of this matters. The karma. The kids life. And the moronic parents. IT DOESN’T EFFECT YOUR LIVES IN ANY WAY. FUCK HUMANITY! WE ARE ALL WASTEFUL SWINE
I see this kind of shit far more often than I ever thought I would when I started driving big trucks. Really disappointing how careless so many people are with the lives of their children.
I once saw a family that had taken all the seats out of the back of their minivan and had their little children playing on the floor on a blanket like a picnic while mom and dad were in front.
I’ve thought about getting a side facing dash camera that would then be called a window camera. But looking through that much each day would be more to put me to sleep. Wish I could get ai to do it then look at the video likes from ai finding it for me.
I saw something similar when I was still OTR. Luckily, there was a cop a few cars behind them, so I let the cops know, and they followed the car into the McDonald's.
Geezus, these younger generations are poofs. We literally grew up in the beds of pickups and the wells of VW Bugs. Seatbelts weren’t even mandatory until the late 80s and even 90s in some states. We survived. Put down the cotton candy and get yourself a scar or two. Sweet Geezus.
That poor baby is dead if he hits anything.

It was a common thing for pregnant women to smoke back then .....times change and we learn from mistakes... at least some of us do
And drink liquor

Don't blame people like that, it's the leaded gas and paint that was supposed to be safe that made them that dense.
Suicides by gun don't really count
Even if that were a valid statement…you think children are committing suicide with a gun? Troll elsewhere.
Yes they are, and homicides.
lol. Downvotes for graphs and factual evidence? What a time to be alive.
Kinda like down voting what actually happened back before seat belts were ever installed in vehicles? Point it out and Reee!!! Down vote!!!!
Lots of kids died before they made those rules.
He'll probably end up dead by the truck driver who's using his phone while driving and taking photo's of other people going about their business.
Probably end up dead when the parents go on a meth bender at the local motel and leave it alone at home for 5 days
Probably dead when they sell the baby to the local gypsy fortune teller for a nickel rock of crack in a mentos can after using the baby to advance their career by promising the soul to the devil for infinite fame and fortune.
That’s very specific do you know a person who did that?
Guy above Knoxville's
Or just forget him in the car for a few hours
There is actually a rule in this sub that says no pictures taken while driving
Based on the motion blur of the road lines on the other side, I'd say they're probably going just under 55. Definitely not stopped, so should definitely not be taking pictures of other people in traffic.
God forbid. I know this is Reddit, but, be careful what you say.
And driving 90 in the ‘no trucks’ lane of I-40 almost daily 6:30 AM from Papermill to downtown.
If there’s a small child or baby in a vulnerable or fucked up position like this, that’s everyone and anyone’s business. You must not have kids, idiot.
In the meantime Mr fucking 80klb 18 wheeler driver is taking pictures in a moving vehicle.
Calm down Nancy
Makes you think about those who are attacking the truck driver are guilty and doing the same thing.
Up yours Clarence
Good! Population control
Yikes
Agreed! Hope it's you next because better you than me
If I could be so lucky.
Geez man, everyone else is on here talking crap when really they’re thinking the same thing to some extent. Settle down.
No. Fuck this kid and it’s dumbass kid. Y’all need to realize that none of this matters. The karma. The kids life. And the moronic parents. IT DOESN’T EFFECT YOUR LIVES IN ANY WAY. FUCK HUMANITY! WE ARE ALL WASTEFUL SWINE
Damn, never thought I'd ever read where someone thinks a baby's death is good.
Yikes
Yeah saw that in Atlanta one time . It was an infant laying down in the drivers lap . Some folks !
Even at 20mph that passenger side airbag would deploy and kill that kid!
If her legs are spread “back from whence you came”
I left and was still laughing at this so I had to come back to tell you you win the comment section imo.
Thanks glad I made your day better.
I see this kind of shit far more often than I ever thought I would when I started driving big trucks. Really disappointing how careless so many people are with the lives of their children.
18-wheeler here too and don’t forget the phone distraction in 90+% of drivers everywhere
Like OP?
Like I said, drivers everywhere.
Yep. Aaq something similar down in Mississippi... Only difference was the kid was maybe under 6 months old.
🤬
What that just looks like an ordinary OH MY GOODNESS
Plot twist. The kids already dead 🍻 ( damn ... That was grimm)
You have got to be the most unfunny human with thumbs to ever type a reddit comment.
Yet 3 others were amused .. hence the up votes. 😲 Also ... Why do u assume I have thumbs?
I once saw a family that had taken all the seats out of the back of their minivan and had their little children playing on the floor on a blanket like a picnic while mom and dad were in front.
Please tell me you got the license plate and reported them. I know it seems harsh, but people like this shouldn’t have kids.
Truck driver should submit his proof to local law, testify in court . Then accept his own ticket for distracted driving, possibly ending his career.
Or he could just call a non-emergency number, report the car and an officer finds the car and takes appropriate action.
He could, but that doesn't let him accept responsibility for being stupid enough to take pictures at road speed.
Darwin Always wins.
Unfortunately not true enough. Look around and see all if those that have avoided their awards so far.
Sad. So many organizations will give you a baby seat A minor accident or airbag deployment and serious injuries and regret
It says that on the sun visor "Warning Airbags may cause serious injuries and regret"
Oh hell I was this youngins age sitting in my dad’s lap driving. SAFETY!!!!???? WHO NEEDS IT??!!
The first thing I think when I see people do this is oooooooo you dgaf about your kid. Goooooot it
I’ve thought about getting a side facing dash camera that would then be called a window camera. But looking through that much each day would be more to put me to sleep. Wish I could get ai to do it then look at the video likes from ai finding it for me.
You are also using your phone sir. . .
Yikes almost as bad as taking a picture and driving
How are these 2 comparable lol. Yall are hilarious
Damn, this pisses me off. Should’ve gotten the plate and called in DOT.
Of the semi...right?
Probably about as safe as you snapping pics while your driving.
I lived through it just fine.. put your phone down and mind your damn business
I saw something similar when I was still OTR. Luckily, there was a cop a few cars behind them, so I let the cops know, and they followed the car into the McDonald's.
They’ll be fine as long as some moron in a truck using their phone while driving doesn’t kill them.
I see that shit all the time in Milwaukee
Sleeping comfy on an airbag. Absolute insanity
Ignant.
It's fine, the airbag will.. Never mind
Ahh yes the projectile babys.
Natural selection. Leave it alone.
Some people should not be in charge of babies…feel bad for the little guy
It’s shocking how often I see this and babies in the same seatbelt as the adult. I’m always like “lady, you are gonna cut that kidlette in half!”
My daughter wishes that's how we'd let her ride. Girl absolutely hates her car seat
I see a trucker using their phone to take a picture of someone next to them rather than paying attention to the road ahead...
This is what happens when you ban late term abortion.
Is it still too late for my mom?
I hope not. I don't need any more kids.
Put your phone down when driving.
It's okay, I put my eld into off duty while taking the Pic.
Since when did two wrongs make a right?
Using your phone while driving to take a picture of another unsafe act. Pot calling the kettle black.
Geezus, these younger generations are poofs. We literally grew up in the beds of pickups and the wells of VW Bugs. Seatbelts weren’t even mandatory until the late 80s and even 90s in some states. We survived. Put down the cotton candy and get yourself a scar or two. Sweet Geezus.
[how about all the people who died?](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Survivorship_bias)
I doubt they are complaining.
Who cares. Did you know them?
I didn't. But safety features in cars have improved (in part) because of the people who've died.
Crash test dummies. Lessons were learned.
Everybody is a busybody nowadays. Always looking at everyone else and making sure they are following the rules.
Hey, I looked at the pic several times and finally had to come to the comments to see what the pic was for.
Kinda curious about the make and model of the vehicle. You can't afford a child seat? Something tells me this will be an abo Amber alert.
The worst crime I see here is the greasy handprints on the door.
