I slam on my brakes early enough. But the dad, driving the pushchair runs forward a step more, panics, stops dead.
Toddler flies out and faceplants the road.
Nah, don't think he did.

Coming down Charing X rd, that bus lane is traffic coned from soho until shaftesbury. Light turns green for me heading south onto junction.
Peds all run into road to cross. Asian couple run forward with kid in a pushchair. I slam on my brakes early enough. But the dad, driving the pushchair runs forward a step more, panics, stops dead.
Toddler flies out and faceplants the road.
