Non-life threatening injury can still be a life changing injury…
I like how you corrected the title to say the driver hit them, where the article only says the vehicle hits them.
Ban cars near schools.
Ban streets from school zones.
Have you tried moving the schools away from the cars?
Realistically that, or a surfeit of pedestrian overpasses, is the only thing that would ever remove any chance of an unfortunate vehicle encounter outside a school. People can be assholes behind the wheel just as easily as anywhere else, and it only takes one.
They should put all the schools in bike lanes.
People are idiots.
I’ve witnessed a lady stopped at the crosswalk by the guard and his stop sign, then decide she just didn’t want to wait any more so drove through anyway.
The guard was trying to somewhat step in front of her car and hold the sign in front of the car window, but she just kept going so he had to get out of the way. Luckily no kids were in the immediate path.
Crossing guards should be allowed to smash your windshield for that.
Some kind of greasy paintball that makes the windshield useless and their crime obvious would be nice. Something that would just streak if they try to use the wipers.
😀 that would make a fun video game.
They should at least have magnetic GPS trackers they can slap on the car that instantly radios police of the infraction.
We had a traffic control worker get run over by a crazy lady. She was stopped in a lane due to construction and with kids in the car decided waiting wasn’t fun, and drove into the traffic sign person. I think injured their leg and foot by running it over.
Somebody who does that should lose their license
No tax dollars for that. Blew all the funds on getting beer into convenience stores one year earlier and ripping out bike lanes in Toronto.
Losing your license for such a thing should be the absolute floor of punishment. What should actually happen is they’re imprisoned for violent attempted vehicular homicide.
Sadly all of the law seems to side with running over whomever you like, so long as they aren’t a cop or in a car themselves.
Obviously the problem here is schools.
I would probably not be able to resist tomahawking that stop sign right into their windshield.
Blood boil inducing.
