Richard, there are many pyschically challenged locals working in various places around town. Eg, Hamad Hopsital, QP, QTel, various schools...I could go on.
If I may go on my soap box for a moment, there is also a ward or two of brain damaged children/adults living at the hospital...last time I visited I was told by the dctor that at least half or more were the victims of not wearing a seatbelt or being in a car seat during a car crash. Preventible, preventible, preventible!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If you know ANYONE who does not buckle up or use car seats then please have a word. Or if you wish to be more direct hand out flyers (obtainable from Traffic Police) at traffic lights or donate a car seat to a family or a charity. There are certainly plenty of people who do not buckle up or have their children on their lap in the front.
And, yes, I realise that the authorities are not doing enough to tackle this. I'm working on them. But we can each do our bit as well. 'It takes a village' and all that.
Steps off soap box...
