Azriel | Sunday, January 14, 2001 - 10:13 am  They are short and harder to see? close

Newamush | Sunday, January 14, 2001 - 10:17 am  I think it's because of children chasing their toys into the streets. You always hear about children getting hit when they chase after a ball. no |
Cammie | Sunday, January 14, 2001 - 10:20 am  Lack of parental supervision? no |
Cammie | Sunday, January 14, 2001 - 10:26 am  Is it because they are less aware of the consequences? no |
Hostess2 | Sunday, January 14, 2001 - 10:30 am  Azriel - Close Newamush - No Cammie - No |
Elitist | Sunday, January 14, 2001 - 10:30 am  Is it because they come out between cars and drivers can't see them (and they can't see the cars) until they are in the street? |
Hostess2 | Sunday, January 14, 2001 - 10:32 am  Elitist - Close |
Newamush | Sunday, January 14, 2001 - 10:32 am  Is it the unexpected factor? Children can be quick little buggers. |
Merlin | Sunday, January 14, 2001 - 10:34 am  children's use of bicycles, tricycles, etc. is less than the use of the road as a pedestrian. No one knows how to repair their kids flat tire on their bike, so the kids have to walk? Kids are walking to a friends house because the parents are not at home when the kids are at home. All kids are on drugs and don't pay attention when they are in the street? Excessive use of alcohol, walking while intoxicated? |
Merlin | Sunday, January 14, 2001 - 10:35 am  kids cant see the oncoming cars. |
Elitist | Sunday, January 14, 2001 - 10:35 am  Kids use balls more than adults, which go into streets and cause accidents? |
Cammie | Sunday, January 14, 2001 - 10:37 am  Kids are more likely to be pedestrians? |
Merlin | Sunday, January 14, 2001 - 10:38 am  the accidents are caused by cars parking on the side of the street |
Merlin | Sunday, January 14, 2001 - 10:39 am  take the cars off the side of roadways and you will eliminate most of children's pedestrian accidents |
Cammie | Sunday, January 14, 2001 - 10:41 am  Are vehicles getting bigger so you can't see the kids as well? |
Hostess2 | Sunday, January 14, 2001 - 10:51 am  Newamush - No Merlin - No Elitist - No Cammie - "Are vehicles getting bigger so you can't see the kids as well?" No, but you are thinking in the right direction. |
Elitist | Sunday, January 14, 2001 - 10:51 am  Well we know that it has something to do with either size of the child or not seeing the child, or both. Az and I both got a CLOSE from our questions along these lines. So we just aren't expanding that line of reasoning far enough. |
Azriel | Sunday, January 14, 2001 - 10:58 am  Most children end up being in a blind spot to the driver because of their height. They are easily backed over when coming behind the car or run over when they come beside the car because of this. I've heard of too many tragedies of people backing over their own child  |
Merlin | Sunday, January 14, 2001 - 10:58 am  The use of light trucks/pickups/sport utility vechicles has outranked the use of smaller vehicles, in residential neighborhoods. |

Newamush | Sunday, January 14, 2001 - 11:12 am  Could it be that more a back over in driveways? |
Newamush | Sunday, January 14, 2001 - 11:13 am  or rather. Could it be that more are backed over in driveways? |
Hostess2 | Sunday, January 14, 2001 - 11:15 am  Newamush - "Could it be that more are backed over in driveways?" No |
Elitist | Sunday, January 14, 2001 - 11:17 am  Is it that more children "Moonwalk" and end up in the street? |
