If she wasn't going 40 mph...

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRR...

There was a woman driving an A4 Audi Station Wagon this morning...Grey/silver.

Her backseat was empty.

The jumpseat (the seat in the trunk/back space of a wagon) that faces the other way...her 4 year old ( or so ) little girl was sitting there reading.

NOT IN A CAR SEAT. Those are such tiny seats, that if the girl was in a booster that only had the bottom, she'd have her head in the roof of the car. The seatbelt, I could see unbuckled (the buckle was actually on the strap up by her shoulder attached to the seat, obviously not around the precious one)...

If she hadn't been going 40 mph, I would have had to have words with her. That is just assinine.

Now maybe the little girl was 5, but since the local schools had already started by then, I doubt it. Regardless of the car seat, why wasn't she wearing her seatbelt?????

Fairfax County has a Traffic Safety Watch Report that you can fill out if you see someone driving unsafely. Maybe check and see if your area has that? Get down the license plate next time though. -j.
