And I can’t legally drive my kids around in one of those, so yeah it’s like they are different trucks for different purposes or something…. I don’t know…. Maybe…?
In my opinion, it should be illegal to drive any vehicle so tall you can't see kids in front of you anywhere near a school zone. Unless it's a fire truck or other service vehicle, for obvious reasons.
It’s funny, kids aren’t getting run down in school zones in other places, we don’t let them run indiscriminately across the road. They’re taught to walk to a a crosswalk to cross the road.
In fact, lots of places ban school buses using flashing red lights inside urban areas since it’s more dangerous, it’s only allowed on rural roads.
Believe it or not, some people don't bother to stop at a crosswalk if they can't see anyone crossing.
Is that an issue? You can’t see the side of the road? Or a kid that’s already started crossing since you are well away…?
I’ve never heard of this issue before, got a source? Or are you just not paying attention to the road while driving…?
Mind you, we also have well established crosswalks that are lit up, and teach people to use them, so that’s probably why it’s not an issue here…? It seems like a uniquely US issue.
