Child seat, seat belts.
As for kids and questions, when they are about that age they ask non stop question, they're not really interested in the answer, but just learning the art of questioning and communicating. It's can be a pain

One word. India.
Did you know there are more laws here to protect the lives of cattle than of humans?

Better handled thusly:
Quitly look the child in the eye and inform him in a calm firm voice that if he doesn't sit quietly and stop annoying you, you will drive him off to somewhere lonely and push him out of the care so the wolves can eat his hands.
Gone on, without pause, by noting that 'You might tell his parents where to pick him up after you've finished your dinner, although you expect they won't want to leave the house that late in the evening just to find him.'
In case that fail to settle him down, drop him off at a hospital and sell his body parts.

When it comes to parenting I can strongly recommend the book Lets panic about babies! Got it when we were expecting our first.
If someone tried to do something like that in my car I'd pull over and let loose the biggest barrage ever.  Car safety is important to me. I even feel bad that we got out 4 year old facing forward because he is too tall to sit backwards for anything longer than 10min.
Anyway I live in an atheistic family where we do have our own spiritual inclinations.
When it comes to death I'd explain my view on how it is. It's unknown, most likely it's non-existence but nothing to be afraid of. You shouldn't look forward to it but you shouldn't be afraid. It's there, just accept it as part of the natural order. Death is required for life.

I think this a bit much for a toddler. They wouldn't get this. I was thinking if I can say like, "It's an endless sleep, people can never wake up from. We must be careful never to fall into until we are alive" 
Thanks for the book suggestion! Will check that one up.

My 4 year old has slowly started to discover the concept of death. Where are the dinosaurs? Dead. Did you kill that dinosaur? (in a game ofc). Bang! you are dead dad!
If he is old enough to play that he shoots and hunts he is old enough for some truths. Not that he is going to completely understand but it doesn't hurt and will in turn help him respect life. He knows that in order to eat meat something has to dies and its just the price to pay for bacon.

That's why they invented the Audi RS4 family car and similar ones... when the children start making strange things you just need to press the acceleration pedal to get them fixed on the back seat. At much they make strange noises but nothing the motor sound can't hide.

There is no way the average Indian is buying that unless our lifespan suddenly increases to around 1000.

Next time, put him in the back seat with a seat belt 4 year olds are not the best suited people for the passenger seat.

I sh*t you not I dreamt about a Plane crashing.
I also dreamt I met Fat_boy in the Supermarket. I think if I need any groceries today, I will send the missus.

Dreams related to flying accidents are amongst the most common reported. So on any one night preceding an aircraft accident hundreds of millions of dreams about aircraft crashing are dreamt. Unfortunately the same number of aircraft crash dreams are dreamt on every night not preceding an aircraft crashing too but are forgotten or unremarked upon because there is nothing to draw them to anyone's attention.
So the odds that someone, indeed a very large number of someones, will recall having a dream about an aircraft crash the night before an aircraft crash takes place is basically 100%. The odds that you should be one of the someones will obviously be low but that's irrelevant. There is zero significance to your dream ... unless that dream also contained exact details of the time, place, aircraft, pilot's name or something of that ilk? If so, could you please forward tomorrow's lottery numbers?
I am not a number. I am a ... no, wait!
