hmmmm...What would you do?

[LauraR]

So, I know this is a really tough choice {inject sarcasm here}:

Would you

a.) drive by and say 'wow, look at that boy go!!!'

b.) pat yourself on the back because you were able to go around him without hitting him

or finally

c.) STOP, you dumba** and get the kid out of the road!


Did anyone see this vid? It was on our news yesterday. A cop actually had to rescue him!

Turn on my flashers, stop and get the kid out of the damn road!!!!!!!!!!!!

[LauraR]

I know! Wtf? I stop for animals in the road to save them. I can't imagine driving past a 3 year old on a tricycle without stopping.

[gman863]

d) Lick my chops, followed by "Say, that looks like a BABH!!," "GET IN MAH BELLY!" and a rendition of the Chili's baby back ribs jingle.

Yep and give the one who was supposed to look after the kid an earful!
I know of someone who went to China recently to visit her family and she said that hardly anyone obeys the traffic signs. She was way too scared to drive over there although she is an excellent driver.

Well no wonder the Chines can't even read there own words in Chines when driving at 200mph lol

Stop in front of kid to protect him then lift him into the car.

Some kids are just born to ride

[hrlow2]

Cop should have given the kid a ticket.
You just KNOW he was an unlicensed driver.
Probably no insurance either.

Seriously though. Who was supposed to be watching him?

[hitest]

Save the child and report the parents.

Block traffic with my car, escort kid to curb and get help. I have a problem with all the drivers in that video.
I pulled my car across both lanes once before because kids ran into the road to cross to my car. It was dusk and traffic was approaching. I didn't know if the other drivers could see them. It was tense.

Exactly! What is up with people????

Not long ago I was leaving work one morning and headed home. Ahead of me on a side street I could see drivers giving something a wide berth in the line of cars ahead of me. When I got up to the scene I saw there was a baby carriage sitting in the travel portion of the street, up against the curb!

Now, I figured this was most likely a cast off that was being used as a child's toy, but of course I stopped, got out and looked it over. It had a child's doll in it - appeared maybe the wind (it was windy that morning) blew it into the road. I picked it up and put it on it's side in the front yard of a house nearby. I can't believe the number of cars (four at least, that I saw) that chose to drive around this instead of stopping to at least make sure there wasn't a real baby in it! Sheesh . . . I'd even noticed some pedistrians walking by on the sidewalk when I was still a few vehicles back from it. Wow.

I'll even stop and move trash cans and such out of the road. It just makes sense.

[Triaxx2]

I probably wouldn't have managed to miss the kid. I'm not a good enough driver.

[Nedlamar]

Well the first thing to do would be to call the police and report the child.
I'm pretty sure there are several traffic violations being committed, the vehicle he is riding clearly has no indication , stop or warning lights attached, nor licence plate, also it's quite clear the child did not stop or yield before entering the junction.
I'm also fairly sure that bike/trike is not of roadworthy condition nor is a legitimate licensed vehicle.
I mean, kids doing what they want and now freely riding around in traffic..... why someone could get hurt

Although on a serious note, could you imagine being the car behind the bus, that was most definitely a big "WTF!... WHOA!" moment. But yeah, people don't think sometimes.

[DavidGP]

B, C and then A in that order.

Very lucky that the kid was not killed in that normal Chinese traffic can be as mental as Italian traffic, or that the actual fall out of the car didnt injure them, but then kids are resilient.
