Question: If a patrolman decided he needed to pull over Google's self-driving car, how would it respond? Who gets the ticket, if any were issued? Who would do the talking, and who would hand over a driver's license for identification? What about proof of liability insurance? I wonder how it would respond to tire puncturing stop strips? For that matter, how does it respond to a blown tire?

But that one's just really a booster seat after 40 lbs. -- you can even tell by the name description. You can only wear the 5 point harness up to 40 lbs.-- since it's convertible it just becomes a booster seat then. I'm looking for one where the harness can be worn over 40 lbs. My doctor swears they exist... I am beginning to think he's crazy. All I'm finding are those convertible booster types like you noted. I'm not sure what people are supposed to do with heavy 3 yr olds in the states when they aren't allowed in boosters legally until they're 4. I can legally put my kid in a booster, but I would prefer the 5 point harness thing if they exist... Thanks anyway.

hi there, i live in canada where it is the law to use the tether strap, you get fined and they won't let you leave till you properly strap your kids in. the idea with the tether is that you hook it onto an anchor that is drilled into the frame of your car. toysrus sells the anchors with instructions we had to install these in one of our cars and you can buy the tethers as well and they come with instructions on how to install. i cant believe that it is still not the law down there for these things to be in. i was involved in a car accident last year that took the whole front end off my car and my then 2yo dd was in the car with me in her car seat. the tether strap is desighned to absorb the shock from an impact and also helps keep the car seat snug so there is no jolting for the child. the fire man at my accident told me my dd recieved not a scratch because my her seat was properly installed and she was strapped in it, so i say spend the extra money and time and put this thing in your car. nadine mommy to chelsea 3yo and dempsey 6mo

And who is it you call when you have eggs thrown at your house? When you've locked yourself out of your car? When your house has been broken into? When you have a domestic abuse situation? When you can't be burdened with asking your neighbor to turn their music down? When you see a suspicious vehicle in your neighborhood? When your loved one hasn't been heard from? When your child is missing? The police. And oh, yes, we are compensated so well! How much do you think one should be paid for cutting down a person that hanged themselves? How much for having to witness a person blow their head off and having to gingerly step through the brain matter on the crime scene? How much to tend to the baby that was dropped into scalding water by its mother so that it's skin literally is falling off? How much for having to go to a home and inform parents that their 19 year old daughter will never be coming home again due to a car accident? How much to place our lives in danger each and everyday so that your family is safe? Have you ever thought about how much we miss? Our children's school events, holidays,birthdays,weddings because we work 24/7? Have you ever thought about what happens to a person from seeing others pain,grief and crime every single day you work? Do you know how it feels when a citizen calls to complain that they see you in your car " just sitting there drinking coffee" when you are just trying to clear your head from the murder scene you just cleared? Yes, we get coffee breaks too. Do you know how it feels to see children abused and hungry on a daily basis? Not all cops are bad. We feel. He hurt right along with you. We also share joys with you but those moments are few and far between. We take this job home with us at night. We have nightmares. Our marriages fall apart due to the stress of the job. It's not fun to read posts like this that bash us. It's also embarrassing as hell when a fellow officer makes us all look bad. But please don't group us all as one. We hear things like this all the time but rarely are we ever thanked. And we are the ones that keep you safe.
