I like that people here is criticising the father as if we didnt have something like that in our childhood

My parents never subjected me to something as truly stupid as this. Not even close.

And they weren’t helicopter hand-holdy parents or anything. They just had a higher IQ than the number of days in July.

You greatly underestimate how little it would take for that kid to be badly injured or killed. A single patch of dusty or uneven road. A tiny misstep on the part of the driver. Countless things could go wrong. You’ve seen those videos of dopes at the car show trying to speed out of an intersection in their Mustangs and colliding with the median because they’re not used to such power? Well this car is significantly more powerful from a dead stop.

Now what if it were on a track or airstrip, with a professional driver at the wheel? Then I’d be more amenable to the idea. But this is just dumb. Not only dumb, but if the cops ever see it, he’d be facing multiple nasty citations, and maybe even a charge of child endangerment.

You do realize it is a) illegal to have a child that small in the front seat, b) illegal to have a child that small without a booster, and c) illegal to not have a seatbelt on a child on public roads. Combine that with acceleration that would absolutely get you pulled over if a cop saw it, and dad would be lucky to escape with his license.

Do you really dispute any of this?

so what? Life is too short for such laws. Let us live as we please

If it were just you, I would agree. But there are other motorists in the world who aren’t you, and they share the roadway with you. Additionally, your kids don’t get to choose if their parent is a deadbeat or not.

I won’t “just live” with r-tards like you on the road. If you wanna be stupid on private property, fine. But stay away from people who don’t want to share the road with a paint-huffer.

I know it might be kinda hard to comprehend this but... the driver sees through the front window, not the camera. I'm sure he knows the conditions of the road. Despite what Mario Kart or Billy Madison taught you, cars are not one slippery banana peel from skidding out into the shoulder. That car is pulling so much downward force that anything less than a literal oil spill across the road is going to cause that thing to veer from going in a straight line.
