For those of you that live in SoCal, you know there is a terrible jay walking problem. Mothers with a brood of kids darting across traffic. In this case, there is a crosswalk within .2 miles.

I just looked on Google Maps. The nearest crosswalk/traffic light was .1 miles away.

His mother, Liliana Huaracha, said she was walking down the road that morning to get a haircut with her children.

Does EBT now pay for that too?

That is amazing. She and her kids go darting across a busy, four-lane street right in the middle of it, and her only thought now is how the city is at fault for not having “enough” crosswalks and lights. Not for an instant does she question her own choices.

Whateer the circumstances. it’s so sad when a 5-year-old dies. My precious grandson is 5. Kids are wiondeful at that age.

Sometimes a story that starts out that way but doesn't end that way:

Find an Angel, and a (Speed) Demon

California and Nevada FReepers, please help find a real angel!

As one who has driven trucks for a living, I know that many, many drivers do not look far enough down the road, scanning both back and forth and near and far.
Anticipating trouble in time for action is key.
Practice looking way ahead!
Also, never received another ticket after I drove truck because I see officer Friendly early enough so I can check my speed.
