That noted, this is a residential area. Kids don't obey, nor will they know, the rules of the road. When driving through a residential area drivers have to be on the look out for children who could come from just about anywhere.<br /><br />I agree that parents have a duty to teach their children (and hope they listen).

But if the story in the paper is correct, it appears that the boy was riding on the wrong side of the road, against traffic. The last place a driver is likely to look for traffic on the road, especially if the driver happened to be watching for traffic coming from the left as he made his right turn. Parents should teach their kids the danger of riding against traffic.<br />- pedalnmanUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01002590724247724505noreply@blogger.com
