I was driving to my sister's the other night.
There's a small network of short roads near where she lives. A lot of drivers are careless there... swinging into oncoming traffic lanes on their turns, driving a bit fast for the area etc...
Not me. I'm always careful there cos it's residential and i know kids play in the roads.
But... o my. This kid was stupid.
It was dark, so it was already after 830 or so, and it was raining too. Apparently this kid felt that meant it was the PERFECT time to bike in the middle of the road - without a helmet, without a headlight and without reflective material on his body or bike.
If it had been any of the local residents - I've seen how THEY drive there - he could have been road kill.
Stupid kid was lucky I was going slow and easily stopped in the middle of my turn to make sure I didn't hit him.
.... oh and he looked to be around 12-14 or so... so um, wtf... his parents let him out like that? apparently they either want a dead son or they really just have no fucking clue on how to be responsible
