Here's how you used to be able to tell if someone was a mom: If she's driving, and she has to stop short, she'll put out her right hand to hold her child, by reflex, even if there's no one sitting in the front seat.
But now, the conventional wisdom is you don't but your kids in the front seat at all. We've got airbags. They'll pop your kid's head clean off. You put the kids in the back. In car seats. Facing backwards. If you put your kids in the front seat you're a terrible parent. You might as well let your kids watch TV, or eat sugar or play in the front yard. You're lucky I don't call Social Services.
So if the kids are in the back seat, do moms still have the reflex?

If they're driving in England wouldn't they use their left arm to protect the child?
