I helped peel a kid off the side of a lorry (truck) today

Make sure your kids are wearing a seatbelt and secure when you drive

Man, I feel your hurt and rage. It truly sickens me at how many people think a vehicle will magically save them when they do something stupid. I want so much for every person, when they are handed their license they must be taken to a smashed up vehicle and told: A car will try to kill you every time you do something stupid, like talk on the phone, drink and drive, read text messages, speed...

Terrible, terrible news. I'm glad you have good support. Stay strong.

Life is so fragile and so precious.

I hear you jigger, good to see again my friend

There is a scheme over here for young joy riders that get caught where the police
and volunteers set up a fatal crash scene with a surviving child.

Seems to do the trick most of the time

That's odd, but ya it's the most boring routine drive that could end up killing you. Not the same but a girl was going for a morning walk. The garbage truck was collecting the garbage. Moving all of like 20 km per hour inbetween stops. Hit her. But because it weighed 10 tons, the force of the impact was completely put into her body and she died.

I was out with my daughters practicing driving and was constantly telling them how important it was to take their time when driving. better to wait a few more seconds or minutes than to be in an accident that will change lives forever. I hope the father can forgive himself for the mistake that he made and that you will seek peace from what you witnessed.

Peace
