Do these people not understand the concept of closing speed?
I was lucky I was only going 15 at the time.

2. Wasn't it taught that way some time ago? |
|
I seem to remember being taught one way in elementary school, then things changed.
Maybe I'm mistaken.

As kid in the 1970s, we were taught to bike with traffic and walk against traffic.

7. Don't be so hard on the parents or teachers. |
|
The kid could have been taught the correct way and just ignored it. Kids will do that.

9. That's what they taught us in the 70's - go against traffic so you can see it. Man is that wrong. |
|
You go WITH traffic - that's the only safe way. Hasn't anyone ever heard of a fucking mirror???
