I guess they are legal because you simply need to pay attention. Pedestrians need to pay attention as well.[/quote]

No, "you [the driver] simply need to pay attention" is not an adequate response for dangerous vehicles that threaten public safety on public roads.

There's also the whole issue of making a[i] five-year-old child[/i] responsible for not getting run over by a driver who can't see children.[/quote]

Why not? If you pay attention to your surroundings, you won't hit the kids. Good luck getting vans, trucks, buses, tractor trailers, and RVs banned because you are upset. [/quote]

And if kids are unlucky enough to be on streets with drivers who aren't paying attention to their surroundings, oh well, they should have been more careful?

Or if drivers are driving vehicles with huge blind spots?

You're hysterical. Just admit it, you will never do anything in your life to prevent a single accident. These accidents are a fact of life, get over it. [/quote]

OK troll. PP is being alarmist while empathetic, and because empathy is a stereotyped as a female quality, you call them hysterical. How primitive. No, killing children in crosswalks cannot be accepted as a fact of life. [/quote]

Yep, I also noted that misogynistic use of "hysterical." Thanks for pointing it out.[/quote]

Crazy, “there are no accidents” PP is 100% a man. I would on transportation advocacy and encountered his type quite frequently. As said in a prior post, his attitude is a detriment to real advocates and I am unsure if he is for real or a troll at this point. But he is definitely male.[/quote]
