When I was a little kid, about 1975, a girl ran between two parked cars trying to get to her school bus, right out in front of my dad's car. Now being that we were in Germany, students are suppose to be at the bus stop, there are no flashing red lights, and traffic does NOT stop (if you do stop and sit, you will get a ticket for impeding traffic). My dad was not speeding, and was not cited for the collision- the little girls parent's had to pay to repair the dent in the fender and were held accountable. My dad never got upset, was concerned for the girl, and even visited her in the hospital- if you do that around here, some ***-suck lawyer would try to convince the parents to sue...:wack:
