Parents throwing caution to the wind on the road

I REFER to Mr Gordon Yeo's letter last Friday, 'Policing roads: Has policy changed?' I concur with him that we now rarely see Traffic Police officers patrolling the roads.
I often see toddlers on the laps of adults in the front seat of cars without seat belts.
I recall years ago when the authorities introduced rules for toddlers to be secured in child seats or children at a certain age on booster seats. They would also be secured with seat belts.
What happened to these rules?
I urge the authorities to review the road safety enforcement policy before it is too late.
