[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kids do dart out into the street though. When I walk with my young kids, I hold their hand. I don't let them bike or scooter because of this very scenario.

I feel very bad for her parents but I believe it was a tragic accident and that the driver didn't do anything wrong. You need to hold your young child's hand at all times on busy roads and intersections.[/quote]

People don't "dart".

Also, as you say, kids are kids. They predictably behave in unpredictable ways. [b]Why should we have to hold our young children's hands at all times, lest they be killed?[/b] Why shouldn't it be safe for kids to bike or scooter in their own neighborhoods? Why is it acceptable for streets to be unsafe - deadly - for children? [/quote]

...because we don't want them to be killed on a busy street?? Are you for real?

You need to move to a cul de sac in a suburb with the way you want to go around oblivious in the world and not come to harm.[/quote]

Lots of streets are busy. Fifth Avenue in New York last weekend was busy. You don't mean "a busy street", you mean "a street with lots of cars going fast". Why is it appropriate to have streets with lots of cars going fast, in a city?[/quote]
