Do you think I'm a teenager or something? I'm an adult. My insurance is only $60 a month BECAUSE of my age AND because I have a clean record.
That kid shouldn't be out in the road and/or unsupervised. I'm not saying I don't care about children or that I wouldn't feel bad if I hit or killed one. I'm saying that to put all the blame on the driver is bullshit. I think parents should own up to their parenting mistakes. You're supposed to teach your kids about roads and to avoid them. If they're too young to know better, it's YOUR job to watch them. Not mine.
I'm not a damn babysitter and even if I'm going the speed limit and hit a kids, I'd still get the full brunt of it and I still think that's bullshit. THAT'S what I'm pissed about. Parents don't own up to their own mistakes and expects society to take care of them and take responsibility when their kids are wrong because of their parents idiocy. Don't behave like an idiot when teaching your children!!
The judge doesn't give a shit how you feel about "irresponsible parents".
Driving Car + Speeding + Hitting Child + Child Dies = Vehicular Manslaughter
Meaning that, while in the process of knowingly and willingly committing a crime, someone is killed, and it is YOUR fault because by court logic, if you were not speeding, you would have had ample time to react to the child walking in the street therefore his death is not an accident, but the result of your negligence. THAT'S how the court will see it.
I understand that you're angry about irresponsible parents and all, but they're not the ones that were driving the car that hit the child, you were. You're both being negligent, so obviously it takes two... but you're fulfilling your end of the deal because, once again, your life is somehow more important than that of the child you hit, even though the child can not be blamed for having bad parents.
Not getting a ticket does not mean that you will not get caught. This is a RESIDENTIAL AREA. The law is the law. If you can't respect the law then you need to quit driving in a residential area for fuck's sake, there are other roads.
IIN that I don't feel responsible for people's kids when I drive?
