Not shifting blame, not blaming anyone.


I don't see how this is possible really? If you looked both ways you would have seen a car coming, unless you where crossing to close to a junction?


Of course cars should always be maintained, but even a well maintaned vehicle doing 10miles per hour will injure a child if they cross in front of it.
Sorry i think i rambled on a bit to much there what i ment to say in basic words were even if we all taught our children the green cross code it still would not always prevent accidents, i think i went a bit deep even for myself there sorry .

when i was about 7 or 8 i was only knee high to a grass hopper and the road i was crossing had a slight hill when i looked there was no car but as i got half way accross it hit me the lady in the car didnt see me either as she got to the top of the hill i was just there,
no fault it just happened.
