why oh why don't parents teach their children to cross the road properly?
today I heard a woman yell at her child to stop. I turned to see this boy half way across the road. No traffic was coming.

He had gone into the road half way between the bends of an "S" bend. About 25 yards in each direction to the bend.

Chikd comes back to pavement and child given a dressing down. So parents with children go to cross the road but traffic is coming so they move.

They move to one of the bends of the "S" bend, now totally blind to what is coming over their right shoulder if more then 5 yards away.

do they tell the boy to look both ways? No, Do they say all clear? no.
they lead the boy across.

brilliant just brilliant. this lad has not been taught to look for traffic but to just walk across the road....... wait a moment.... that's what he did in the first place

gggggrrrrrrr for blue word sakes teach your children to cross safely. If there is a pedestrian crossing or pedestrian lights 100 yards down the road, walk to the blue word thing.
