Parents of girl hit by a cyclist count their blessings
The cyclist was not blamed for the girl's injuries.
QUOTE: "She said: "A lot of corners around the road are blind corners. *****Parking on the road obscures the view***** (EMPHASIS MINE), especially at school pick-up time. "Jessica was just standing with a group of kids and I think what she did was just step forward (into the road). "It was horrible and there was a lot of children who witnessed it. I think some of them have been really upset by it. "I know there's a lot of parents at the school who have been concerned about the situation. "Something's got to give because ***** if it had been a car I dread to think what would have happened*****."(EMPHASIS MINE) The issue was brought up at a full council meeting on Wednesday, by Ossett ward councillor Lynn Masterman, who asked for the local authority to "intervene". She said: "In the past we've requested a crossing for Church Street, near Holy Trinity. "Unfortunately a few weeks ago, a little girl was knocked over by a cyclist. She had really bad facial injuries. "If it had been a car she could have been killed." APPLAUSE ENDS She will be more careful in the future and will learn from the experience, hopefully. https://www.wakefieldexpress.co.uk/n...hool-1-9503747 |

"Look right, look left, look right again. If all clear, quick march!" I believe it was replaced soon after by the Green Cross Code, which stated the same thing, more or less." LOOK before crossing the roads! Maybe that school needs a visit from the local plod to give a playtime talk? |

Oddly enough, I have never rounded a corner or bend so fast that I could not stop if my way happened to be obstructed, whether by a pedestrian or anything else. How do you know? |

That said, I did hit and kill a hen pheasant near Thixendale last week, even though I was driving at 20mph. It ran out from the undergrowth and I even though I slammed on my brakes, I could not stop in time. Still, at least it did not get shot by a hunting party in nearby Leavening! |

Perhaps they could buy a few of these that I often see here in Yorkshire?

Maybe that school needs a visit from the local plod to give a playtime talk? It's probably because of the popularity of cars the size of a block of flats. When a few are abandoned at the roadside, pedestrians don't have the opportunity to look. Alternatively those travelling along the road past parked vehicles should be obliged to do what Nugent does and slow down to 3.5mph. The main problem in this sad case would seem to be this though. QUOTE: "The area, outside Holy Trinity Church of England Primary School, used to be staffed by a lollipop lady, but she has *****not been replaced***** (EMPHASIS MINE) since leaving her post in April, parents say. Now they are calling for urgent action be taken at the crossing to avoid a repeat incident. Jessica suffered heavy bruising around her nose and eyes but is now recovering well. Her mum, Becci Roberts, said that she ***did not*** blame the cyclist (EMPHASIS MINE)for what happened, but says that the layout of the road is hazardous." |
