Well roy not always the case is it!! not to long ago just up the road near my childrens school the was a drunk driver being chased by the police lost control of the car and went into the back of a 12 year old girl who was walking to school this was at 8.50 am, so you see you dont even have to be in the road to be hit by a car, and in the highway code book does it not stress all the way through that you must give way to pedestriens even if they are in the road?

All to often it used to drive me crazy when i was pushing the pram and you would get some unthoughtful git park the full car on the pavement so mum and pram had to go into the road to get around the car!!!

Sorry but you cant shift the blame to the pedestriens while my children hold my hands you are always responsible for your vehicle if you cant handle it dont drive it.

I was run over when i was younger and that was after i looked both ways!!

Sorry if i sound frantic but if people drove as they should and maintained their vehicle you should always be aware of the children around you your brakes should be well kept and yes children should always be tought the Green Cross Road.
