Driving near slums or squatters area sometimes scares me. Not because of criminals or someone might steal my car. It's because of the kids playing on the road. The parents themselves allow these children to play in the middle of the road disregard for their safety and health. This is an issue that I myself am angry about. In cases I hear that a child was hit by a car and the parents were so angry. What the hell?? You let your kid play on the
The government should really act on this. What I think the government can do is sue those parents who let their child play on the streets! Specially kids who were involved in road side accidents. Its the parents responsibility to take care of their children. And one of those responsibilities is keeping their children from harms way.
So what do you do to avoid hitting a kid on the road? when you see a kid, just put your foot on the breaks, slow down and be attentive. You'll never know when the kid would suddenly run and shifts direction. And they usually do this, you're driving straight and a kid on the sidewalk suddenly goes to the road. Even with their parents they do this. So in any cases or scenario, just be extra careful when you see a kid. To be in an accident with a kid is hard and in our country you'll lose most of the time.
