[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This car was 100% at fault.  You can nitpick a hundred different ways the parents could have been even more cautious to prevent this, but the car was driving recklessly and almost killed a kid.

You can see they are all trailing each other.  Dad doesn't realize how far back the little one is, the girl doesn't slow down enough before she enters the cross walk.  Mom sees the car and does almost jump off her bike but would have been way too late.  It was about 3 or 4 small things that if NOT there, would have kept this from being so close.  Yes, I'd make sure the kid knows to never enter the crosswalk without stopping at the side first and getting the go-ahead from mom or dad.  Yes I make sure my kids are next to me, with an iron grip on their hands when we walk across.  But I still do not blame the parents at all here.

The car was driving recklessly and should be ticketed.[/quote]

Absolutely agree.  There was a stopped car to the SUV's left. [b] It was incredibly reckless for the SUV driver to blow past a stopped car without understanding why that car was stopped.  I hate people who don't notice their surroundings when they drive. [/b] It's happenned to me in parking lots before.  People suck.  [/quote]

Raise your hand if you have a driver's license and you know that it's against the law in Maryland to pass a car stopped at a crosswalk (marked OR unmarked).[/quote]

I have a driver's license. I couldn't have told you for sure whether it's legal in Maryland to pass a car stopped a crosswalk, but I can tell you I never pass a car stopped at a crosswalk at an otherwise uncontrolled crossing without at least slowing down enough to make sure the crosswalk is clear first.[/quote]
