[Automotorsport_Lover]

very nice information and such topics should be discussed more..

But the fact is that here in Pakistan people dont even wear helmets on motor bikes and they are even carrying infants on the bike...

Kya ho sakt hai? kia kaha ja sakta hai?

In Pakistan people leave a lot on Allah (sort of Tawakkul which is not as per our Islam) and Gora sahib leave all on safety, both are extremes, Islam believe that do the safety and then leave to Allah.........

Forget the Traffic authorities, safety belts, child safety seats etc as these things need money and/or efforts. Lets talk about about those parhi likhi class that let their 2 yr old kids on the steering wheels, who also let their small kids sit in the front seats of the car and mostly its not just one kid but 2 or even 3 kids sharing the same seat without fatening seat belt and all. Now another trend gaining lotsa popularity these days is to let their kids stand out of the sun-roof while the car is in high speed. Can't imagine the scenario if the driver has to apply sudden brakes. This trend has so much impact on my kids that they demand to have our next car with sun-roof. I wish we could atleast avoid those very dangerous activites in the first place.

If the car is on high speed and a projectile (rock, piece of tyre, sand) - the results range from disastrous to fatal. Seen two families in Pakistan really suffer on this, one kid nearly lost an eye and the other's cheek bone was fractured.

Nothing comes between common sense and safety, people doing this to their own kids either have "illegitimate kids" or should not have engaged in the act of making kids - becuase they seriously have bad DNA (missing common sense)

A very important issue. Seen families traveling on bikes with 2.5" tires. Really? how can someone compromise their safety and most important, their kids safety to save some cash on rickshaw or something. That's a diff. case though.

Seat belts for kids, booster seats etc. is not widely available in Pakistan. I am not sure about big cities, ISB;LHR;KHI.
Police don't give 2 chits about HID's, forget the safety of kids :P. Saw a lady with her son in her lap. She must've been feeling proud.

And yes, Pakistani way of thinking " We are 'Muslims', leave it up to Allah. Seen over loaded trucks, rickshaws you name it falling over, due to no safety, and "Allah ke hawale". Once something happens to you, God forbid that's the day you learn. Literally.

My friend's mother passed away in a car accident- her friend who was driving was wearing a seatbelt, she wasn't. The car collided with a bike and she hit her head on the dashboard. My friend still regrets that day, and the first thing he does is to wear a seatbelt. Even my mom is" Au kuch nahi hota" and i don't drive until seatbelt isn't fastened
A good thread btw
