Nas might call me preachy but oh well...

Took the fam to a park today. There was a kids bday party going on at the pavilion while we were there.

When I backed out to leave (in the parking lot), one of the kids from the birthday party zoomed behind me on a bike with training wheels. I slammed on the brakes inches from killing this kid. If I hadn't had a reverse camera in the car, I never would have noticed him because he was too short. He couldn't have been more than three YO.

I got out and looked, and the parents were just laughing and having a food time. I told them their kid just ran out right behind me, and they looked at me like I was the asshole.

Some people shouldn't have kids, for fuck's sake.

There are parents in our neighborhood who lets kids as young as four play unsupervised. These kids run out into the street without looking. My older son is almost seven. The only time he plays outside without one of us, is if he is playing in the yard next door. If I tell him to stay in their yard or ours, he will.

Agree with both of you.

At the park Wed with the kids and my kids were trying down the slide. They couldnt because some bitch wouldn't tell her 8 year old daughters to stop climbing up the slide because kids were trying to go down it. Kids finally went down the slide and we got out of there asap. As I walked by the mom I just said thanks for nothing.

It's not the kids fault. It's shitty parents.

Leash is bragging about a camera. Sad! You're supposed to watch out for kids in a park old man.

Seriously tho, good thing for the camera. You could have at least a lawsuit on your hands without it.

Slammed huh? How fast could you have been going, 1, 2 mph?

Are you saying that if you were driving slowly and a child ran in front of you, you would gently tap the brakes?

I probably wouldn't brake at all. Stupid kid.

i almost splattered a 10 yo kid all over the road the other day. was doing about 35 in a subdivision, and i saw a kid racing down a park walking path perpendicular to me. I thought he would turn when he got to the road, but just seeing him going that fast got my attention... and sure enough, he didnt turn, he just barreled right out into the road as if i wasnt even there. I slammed on the brakes, missed him by a good 10ft but if i didnt initially see him then that little fucker would have been squished. fucking idiot.

35 in a subdivision? Where's the fire, son? We have a bunch of people around here who, like you, confuse residential neighborhoods with the Indy 500.

I can't tell you how many times I have almost been run over walking in a crosswalk on the way to my kid's school. There is a freshly painted crosswalk on the street, and a huge neon sign pointing to it, yet MANY refuse to stop for pedestrians.

Is it wrong to take pot shots at motorists that dont stop at the corner in front of my house?

I wouldn't stop if a naked Frank was running around.

On any street or town road, except a state highway or connecting highway, within or near a public park or recreation area when children are going to or from or are playing.

In any alley.

Flapjacks needs an Uber to get to a board outing, so we shouldn't be THAT worried.
