Who remembers their first time being in a car—when your parents (or whoever) speed up to 90km/h in the expressway or the dazzling orange light show when passing through the underground tunnel or the scary but fun experience of getting to be inside the car when it is getting washed…

Either way, we will never forget these cheap thrills as a kid.

But where do you draw the line?

Thoughts

Well, one thing is clear, if the traffic police were in the vicinity, the driver would be in hot soup.

According to the SPF site, a person below 1.35m, aka kids, should ride in the rear as it is safer for them if an accident occurs.

Not to mention it also stated that all person travelling in vehicles, regardless of their age, should be belted up.

It goes without saying that the kid was putting himself at risk.
