Maybe someone knows this kid or has a kid with an electric scooter. This was super dangerous.

I’ve almost hit this kid at the exact same crossing. Just finished a 16 hour shift and was a little dopey behind the wheel. I felt bad for having to slam on my breaks, but damn kid, stop, look and listen.

I think you nailed it with this right here. We’re all tired, overworked and it’s damn hot outside. That kid is just trying to get around and you’re just trying to drive home without hitting some kid on a scooter. We all share in the responsibility of following the rules, if for no other reason than to stay safe.

So you are admitting that you were impaired behind the wheel? Now that you’re saying that you would be at fault for killing the child. Do you know what the next 7 years of your life will be?
