California Dems pass new law requiring booster seats for Children up to 16

In a cynical effort to look busy and fool their imbecilic base into thinking they are working for them, the Democrat/communist/Muslim coalition running California out of existence has surpassed itself for producing busy work.

California is putting teenagers as old as 15 through a state-mandated seat-belt fit test—and those who fail it will have to remain in a child restraint such as a booster seat. The new rule takes effect January 1, 2027. It applies to children ages 8 through 15, meaning it reaches right up to a teenager’s 16th birthday. The law stops short of ordering every 15-year-old into a booster. Teenagers who pass all five steps may use an adult belt, while those who miss even one step will need a child restraint. The story exploded across social media Saturday as Californians compared Sacramento’s latest mandate with the state’s much larger public crises.

LOL! Thanks for the offer. I’m buying a new-to-me Ford this October when they all go on sale.

Looking at an Escape (I had a 2004 and it gave me ZERO problems for 12 years) or a Bronco Sport. Maybe a Maverick? Or do I just LIKE the name? :)

The F150 is a little big for me, though I CAN see over the hood and I’ve gotten MUCH better at parking it properly, which has been the main issue.

Any opinions?

But if you’re a Chevy guy, we can’t be friends. Sorry. :(
