Again the the main issue here that you're forgeting is that you're putting YOUR kids in danger by allowing them to play in the street given the history of drivers not stopping at the stop sign. Who gives a [censored] about the law???? The first time you saw someone run that stop sign shame on them, the second time shame on you. Does it take one of your kids getting hit by a car to get them in the yard where they belong????

You're the kinda guy that tells a chick wearing a revealing outfit that it's her fault she got raped, right?

Do you think before you type/talk? Cause this is some pretty [censored] up logic.

actually, it's completely logical. what consolation to you will it be that the law was on your side when your kid gets pancaked? what are you going to tell your wife? "well, sorry honey, i know kids drive too fast sometimes, but gosh, the law was on our side amirite?"

cars are supposed to yield to pedestrians crossing the street. nowhere in the law does it say you are supposed to be holding a block party in the road. are you familiar with jaywalking? the law is written the way it is because crossing the street illegally shouldn't mean cars are allowed to run you over. it doesn't mean you're supposed to be there.

"Supposed to" has nothing to do with it. We've got as much right to be out there playing as anyone does. And in case you don't buy that, go find your nearest residential neighborhood with kids playing in the street, then run them down making sure you're obeying every traffic law, and let me know how the courts react to it.

You are out of your mind if you think I will feel me or any other parent is even a little responsible if my kid or one of the other neighborhood kids gets hit by someone doing what that kid did.

no, but you can ride them on sidewalks

There are no sidewalks in this cul de sac. Most cul de sacs in our area are built without sidewalks.

the OP's kid is doing something that is not only not a guaranteed legal right, but in many places, explicitly illegal (playing in the street).

Sorry NT, you have no idea what you're saying here. We have a right to be out there. Especially when you consider the kids are on bikes, which makes them legally operating a vehicle in the street which cars have to yield to, but that's beside the overall point that we are legally allowed to be playing out there.

The only good thing about the situation is that there is a good chance that your kids will get run over and improve the gene pool.

Very intelligent. Thanks for sharing. Winnar.

And anyone here that thinks allowing your kid to play out in a cul de sac is even close to the same as letting them play in a road is simply naive.
