Not what it seems, or is it ?
"A 10-MONTH-old baby girl has died in Spain after her grandfather left her in the back of his car for eight hours"Bit of a roller coaster this article, man leaves granddaughter, 10 months old, in the back of a car in Spain, in summer, hanging is too good for him
but read on, he went for a coffee & forgot he'd left her there, so poor man has trouble with memory 
not his fault But hold on, cars here heat up in less than a minute to maybe 50c+, who would leave a dog, let alone a child in a car under those conditions 
I can't think of a single place in Spain where kids are not welcomed with open arms, was it he couldn't be bothered to take her

"Google - drivers aged 17-19 only make up 1.5% of UK license holders; they are involved in 9% of fatal crashes where they are the driver – and altogether, drivers under the age of 25 cause 85% of all 'serious injury' accidents therefore, disproportionally effecting insurance claims"
Might be a wise decision.
The mind is often said to forget important facts ( like where I live, what time I should be home etc ) if there is alcohol and/or a beautiful female in the picture.
A toddler was washed away down a river and never found. An eyewitness questioned by the TV crew blames it on evil spirits
Hope this guys defence is a little better
It's sad.
You think this might be the solution?
From the links and comments dogs and children are left in the car so often that as the young inventor's dad said, it's amazing there isn't already a sensor saying oi, beep beep, you're locking the door and there's still someone inside, even if nothing more sophisticated. Linking in a siren which starts after 10 minutes and gets louder and louder would be ace too.
You know what Zman? Maybe it’s not such a bad idea, huh? Without the car-seat, I mean. That way, the child can even come up to the passenger seat beside you and that way you'd never forget that you have a child with you inside the car!
I know I know I sound rather stoopid now...
Saw this on my FB feed today...yet another case....
Presuming a sleeping child woke long enough to wave an arm of course
Don't make sense to me.
just curious as to if you read anything locally about what the Grandpa was up to during the eight hours yet?
It is very rude for someone to keep two parking spaces for one vehicle Z and if that happens, people will do something not pleasant on the vehicle. That is what I have observed for living here over 40 years.
Is that fake news or was she fined twice?
But on a serious note, I can't understand why there is not uproar by the Spanish over this new law. They are (were) great for having a Huelga general
People protested against it, and now it is due to be brought to the people in the next referendum.
Laws can be changed, the law is fluid.
Plus, you could do background agitation. It is amazing the amount of people who are oblivious to laws or other policies which may affect them. It is only when they are made aware that they do something about it.
Threatened with stupendous fines is lovely media-fodder and spreads the word, don't DO THIS.
Forced to pay large fines or be jailed hasn't as best I know happened yet to anyone doing something previously considered unexceptional, and will be grounds for general horrified revolt.
No?
If there are cases you're the man to find the links
The only thing about it is, the more laws they have, the less time they have to enforce them
