I so nearly hit a child this morning it was frightening. She ran out from between 2 parked cars right in front of me, I only just managed to avoid her and stay on my bike. luckily I wasnt going very fast. if I'd been a car she would be dead. She was only about 5 or 6 and there were no parents to be seen. I've never really told a child off before, but I think I did a good job of it and made it as clear as possible that she needs to stop, look and listen before crossing the road and needs to be careful of parked cars. I doubt it sank in, but she did say sorry.
no wonder so many children get killed on the roads.
