You see unaccompanied children, you take your foot off the gas and hover over the brake pedal.
How about parents hold hand of children? Maybe don't have kids at all if letting free and roaming around.
In civilized countries it's perfectly normal and safe to let your children walk to the fucking supermarket and back on their own. How indoctrinated with dystopian habits do you have to be to not realize there's something deeply wrong here?
When you're operating heavy machinery (like a car) it's your job to ensure you're not a danger to your surroundings. If you can't do that you're not fit to drive.
Physics says it does not care of civilized countries. U can't stop a truck like tundra on a dime. Physics. And even with auto braking these day, no way.
A few things: 1) the speed limit is 45, 2) I went to the street on google maps, you could not hope for better visibility, 3) the driver was 76 years old.
No fucking shot you're sitting here trying to say that, with great visibility and a speed limit of 45, this old fuck isn't responsible for killing Legend. No, actually please confirm this, I've been feeling pent up and going off on a chud would really make me feel better.
Outside of listing out all things, u did not mention why the parents were not hold on to their kids specially in US. Why?
Also ask the question why a 76 years old is allowed to drive? May be no good public transportation system? Oh no now we let senile folks drive. And also how easy is it to get license here in US, my cat might legally drive
Why should I?
The other people in this thread have already detailed for you how there should be nothing wrong with kids walking to the store. Why would I waste my time when you're just going to ignore it in the favor of a 76 year old murderer?
Furthermore, how is it that you've read what I wrote and think that I agree with a 76 year old being behind the wheel?
Murderer is a stretch. This looks like involuntary manslaughter. Murder means he was aiming for the kid, and I don't see anything suggesting that.
Um, wut?
Civilized countries don't have trucks going through areas where people live. In North America there are far too many "stroads".
What you're advocating for is actually detrimental to kids development. Kids need increasing levels of independence in order to learn how to interact with the world and ultimately become better adjusted adults
