Children at play

When I drive home I have to make a right turn onto my street. Right on the intersection there is this nice house. Children live in that house. Children love to play on that front yard and at least once a month I have to slam on my breaks because the small kind loves to run into the street following a ball, or just because he is running.

Now, keep in mind that I am making a turn, so I’m not going faster than 10-12 mph, but it’s fast enough to really hurt a small kid.

I wish parents would do the parenting thing, which would be to either sit there with their kids and forbid them from running to the road, or make the kids play in the backyard away from traffic.
