My greatest *fear that my toddler will do this.

you know what would've made this video a lot more interesting?

wtf, why did they swerve? that was worth 10 points!

guy was clearly speeding. There were crosswalks on that road and a speed limit of no faster than 20 MPH (or 25 KPH) is my guess.

Don't be a fucking retard.




They're like 250 pts, at least!

I don't think so.. country road, not built up, no housing etc... if that was england it would be a 60 mph road.

Gah. My heart stopped for a second.

I've had a similar thing happen not too long ago. Some dumbass family was packing up after a day at the beach and they send their toddler (four-ish) running around alone between parked cars to the traffic side door to get in. Kid ran way out into the road. Couldn't have missed her by more than a foot, and only didn't hit the car in the inside lane because they saw her at the same time and swerved too in anticipation of what I would do (good driving there). And this was a very heavily trafficked road with a 45 mph speed limit.

It's kind of a shame sex isn't more complicated so dim witted people wouldn't be able to figure it out.

*eia

If that were England they'd be using kilometres like sane, rational people.

If that were england they'd be using miles, trust me mate

If the driver was performing a continual hazard/risk assessment (as I was taught to in both police and paramedic driver training) then he would have slowed down on the approach.

I.e. Is the child a risk? Yes (he is a child and has a high likelihood of a spontaneous run across the road). The time at which he runs he would be a very hard to avoid hazard. Prudence says slowing down as you approach the family will give you more time to react and will lower the impact speed if you can't avoid the hazard.

In an emergency drive (lights and sirens) you do this assessment driving at 100km/h (60m/h) while the rest of the traffic is driving about 50km/h (30m/h) (in a 4 ton van).

Y'all are going out of your way to somehow blame the driver:

Kid and parents were idiots.

I was kind of shocked when I was in Afghanistan and working with Brits - they'd be talking about back home and say "oh yeah, it was about 60 miles..." and I was all "...eh? No kilometers?" >> ^dannym3141:

@MarineGunrock it's weird, i don't know why there's this myth about the metric system... we're all higgeldy piggeldy but we definitely use imperial system for a lot of things, and roadwise we virtually never use metric.
