Reckless driving puts child at risk

On my way home from work, as I approached the Beribi roundabout, a car in the adjacent lane suddenly cut into mine without using the indicator.

Fortunately, I was alert enough to hit the brakes and give her space to manoeuvre just in front of me. Shaken and angry, I sped up to get a look at this reckless driver.

Expecting an inexperienced young driver, I was surprised to see a middle-aged woman driving with a deadpan expression on her face.

To my further shock, a young boy, possibly two or three years old, was standing upright on the front passenger seat. This situation raised two major concerns.

First, the driver displayed a lack of understanding about the rules for navigating a roundabout, especially regarding proper lane usage for exits and entries.

Second, she appeared indifferent to the safety of her young passenger.

At his age, the child should have been secured in an appropriate car seat to prevent potential injuries in case of an accident.
