A BIG RED REMINDER OF WHAT THEY WANT TO DO TO AMERICA This serves as a perfect example of what YOUR life we be like if YOU vote to give the New Axis of Evil Democrat, communists, and Muslims control of YOUR future. Remember these people hate God, America, us, and REALITY. They are not really interested in governing. They seek power to be powerful and steal from us. They don’t want to do the work of governance, so they do “show business” things like this and laugh at YOU while their drooling half-witted base cheers them on like clapping seals. Don’t ever vote for a Democrat a communist or a Muslim. Stand and fight for YOUR freedom. Do what you can with what YOU have. Volunteer if you can, donate if you can, wave signs on street corners if you can, and pray to God for deliverance from these evil people.

I can just see a 5’10”,150lb, 15 year old in a booster seat. The loons keep getting Loonier.

No link?

Teenagers? You think you would have problems getting compliance from your teens, imagine the parent of gangbangers and drug dealers.

[piytar]

Most California politicians and voters are insane. This is proof.

My parents didn’t have cars with seatbelts until I was 10. Stood in a crib in the back of the Corvair until I was 3. I can’t imagine trying to get a teen into a booster seat.

What Is the 5-Step Seat Belt Fit Test?

Here’s how the test works. A child must:

Sit with their back flat against the seat.
Bend their knees naturally at the seat’s edge.
Have the lap belt rest low across their hips, not the stomach.
Have the shoulder belt lie across the chest and shoulder, not the neck or face.
Be able to stay seated properly for the entire ride without slouching or moving out of position.

If a child fails to meet even one of these requirements, using a regular seat belt becomes unsafe.

Pass a 5-Step Seat Belt Fit Test before they can ride without a car seat or booster.

I saw this yesterday...

Actually, the “fit test” is pretty good...It pertains to size, mental and physical qualifications...

California is putting teenagers as old as 15 through a state-mandated seat-belt fit test

This test will have to be administered by a union dues paying public employee of course.

I wonder what the fee for this test is going to be.

So the 14-year-old girl has to be in a child booster seat while she rides to have the abortion without her parents knowing?

[Diana in Wisconsin]

I’m 5 foot-nothing. I could use a booster seat when I’m driving. They don’t make big telephone books anymore!

“… California is putting teenagers as old as 15 through a state-mandated seat-belt fit test…”

Well, nothing is free. This is simply a way to laundry tax dollars to the pockets of politicians and their grifting supporters. Someone will be paid to run this scam.

[ZOOKER]

How would you enforce such a law?

Must preteen minors now carry ID cards proving they passed the seat belt test?

The concept seems odd. Kids can modify their gender/bodies with surgery and hormones and counselors will help them with that, but they can't be trusted to ride safeky in the back seat?

You don't need an ID to vote, but...

[fruser1]

Time to get rid of the seatbelt and car seat regs altogether in this expanding nanny-state.

If somebody wants to use them, great. If not, that’s their problem, not the state’s.

[fuzzylogic]

ok, how many in the legislature have been lobbied by, or own stock in, car seat manufacturers?

How absurd. There’s no way they can prove this has any material benefit.

Thank you for posting jmaroneps37.

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

---

Will a booster seat, even if nobody is sitting in it, impede a person who needs to get out of a vehicle quickly, or hinder emergency personnel from getting a person out of a vehicle?

[Seaplaner]

They aren't being stupid or looney. Just clumsey.

My best guess is that this entire law is a gift to the trial lawyers, as it sets up some pricey tort cases. (Nobody will actually obey all of the provisions this law, young persons will not stand for it.)

I clicked on this thread expecting to enjoy another great Bee sendup.

What about us Codgers? Middle aged people? Young adults?
Are we expendable? NOT just as stupid?
This is pure age DISCRIMINATION!
