Title: Have you ever seen a midget?
Post by: Super on May 23, 2011, 12:02:07 AM
I saw one today. Do midgets have to use booster seats when driving?

I've seen a few in public and at school, but not recently.

I think if you're below 4'11" or something you do.

There are a couple at my school.

As for the second question, I'm sure either they need a booster seat, or in extreme cases, can't drive.  Kinda difficult when you can't reach the pedals, I bet.

Do they even bypass the height limit for rides at theme parks as adults, or are they still treated as children?

Chances are they are still treated as such, because if they bypassed the height limits only for them...lots of people would probably be mad.  Mostly children and the parents of such children.

Well the hight limits are for safety reasons right? So I doubt they would.

And there was a married couple that used to leave in my neighborhood.

Maybe they just teleport. Short people are automatically magical.

I guess one good thing about being a midget is the fact that they can fit in places we normally can't.

Your a legal midget if your below 4"11 and and 4"9 is the magic number to stop using a safety seat in the car. I remember it because of the commercials.

I heard 4'11" a few years back for a booster seat. Then again this is the great strange land of New York where the laws are all anal. To me that's bullpoop, but I don't care. I'm 6 feet tall so I'll never use a booster seat ever again.

I wonder if they have specially modified cars that allow them to reach the pedals.

when I lived in New York I used to always watch Fox Box on sunday mornings and they always had that commercial of cinderalla where it said, 4'9 is the magic number to stop using booster sear lol.
And I always wondered the same thing.....

I know they have cars with no driver seat, but a ramp/elevator, so people can drive from their wheelchairs. I'm wondering what other disabilities are covered by vehicle modifications.

Would break and reverse be the same button? How would you break while going in reverse?

Let go of the button. It stops pretty quickly in Mario Kart :3

There's one I see scurrying around campus sometimes. Also, they have modified seats and pedals for driving.
