Agreed lusitano, that bit is stupid.

I'm just playing devil's advocate and trying to get people think about the difference between driving with a foetus and driving with a new born on your lap. I expect must people here would have no problem with the first but would condemn the second. But is there really a difference?

There's a reason that pregnant women are advised not to do things like skiing - because a nasty fall or bump puts the foetus at risk. Why is driving any different?

My wife is in her third trimester and is still driving. I'm fine with that, but stories like this make you think.
