And news is coming in on yet ANOTHER accident involving a car and a pedestrian. This is what, the hundredth hit-and-run in a mounth? Im not even kidding. The first one I heard aboot was the toddeler running across the street to his dad. He ended up dying at the scene(I think....). Then a ten year old got hit and dragged aboot 50 feet. He suffered massive brain injerys and ended up dying shortly afterwards. Early Saturday mourning, a 5 year old was hit by a 99 Ford Ranger and thrown 30 feet. The driver shifted into revers and attempted to drive backward to flee the scene. He failed miserable and drove into a utlilty pole and some bushes. The front passenger ran from the car back to the scene and tryed to help out, the driver however......

As someone going through Drivers Ed, this is becoming increasingly frightening. Im always picturing cardbored cut outs of children being thrown at me when im driving, or blow up beach balls being rolled infront of the car wheels. All of the accidents were, well, ACCIDENTS, but still... Either Drivers Education should be repeated when some one renews his license, or the "Look both ways before crossing the street" rule should be be its own class in schools.
