    Wouldn't it make sense to use the hand holding rule in that situation? Drivers sometimes don't even see adults in hi-viz. How are they going to see a little kid darting around?

    So sad, prayers for all invloved. Its happen before.

    I believe at a truck stop close to Shreveport. A mother was walking out holding the hand of her child walking beside of her, he broke lose from her and ran out in front of a truck.

    I took a friend out for a pickup in Maine from New Hampshire. She got mad at me when I yelled at her pretty much telling her she didn't know how to walk through the truck stop and fuel islands.

    I think many of us take for granted we know when, where and how to walk.

    That's terrible.

    YOU HAVE TO SLOW DOWN AND PAY ATTENTION!

    I'm sick of these arse holes running round the parking lots and through the fuel islands at what looks like TOO FAST from any angle.

    You can't tell me that driver checked his mirrors, his surroundings, and really paid attention before killing the poor kid.

    What do I know - I wasn't there. Sure the driver feels terrible.
    JUST SLOW DOWN, please . . . everybody?
     
    Mr.X and Puppage Thank this.

    what everyone else said....
    rip little one.

    act like everyone wants to hit/run you over you and act like they all want to tell on you/fine you....

    saftey saftey saftey.....its not a bad thing.
    this driver will live with this forever....
    family will suffer for ever with out a child....
    no one wins.

    sometimes those safety a holes aren't all that bad of guys to have around.
