Well, here ya go. It's a city street, and not a playground. I've literally crawled through residential neighborhoods and had kids on bikes come flying out of their driveways and run into the side of my car. All the while, the parents were nowhere in sight. I once knew a man who ran over and killed his own child while pulling out of his driveway on to the street.

Which is why you drive slowly in residential areas, right?
