Oh, us crazy Canucks... we use 912!

I don't take kindly to anyone who drives like an idiot. I don't have kids and rarely carry any in my car. Whether I do or not, I still drive in a safe fashion... I may not have kids in my car, but if I fuck up and hit someone, that someone might have kids in theirs.

As for the unbuckled/overcrowded... folks, this is what minivans were made for. Either get someone to watch the damn kids, or get a vehicle that can seat them all safely. It boggles the mind.

And a final note, kids under about 100 lbs should definitely not be in the front seat. Those airbags can be very dangerous, even to full grown adults. They're designed to impact on your chest (and therefore your ribcage, which can take the force). If they hit you in the head or neck, it's pretty much over right there.
