There's something fishy about that report - there is no mention of the driver stopping, the kid made his own way in to school after being knocked off 'crossing the road'. A hit and run but there is no mention of the driver or appeal for information? It doesn't add up.
Beyond the reporting of the incident, though, won't people just say, well, until the roads are safer and driving improves it makes sense to wear a helmet 'just in case'? And so the endless argument continues.
