Yup it is that time of year again. What time you ask? After today most Schools out for the Summer in Pasco County. This is the time when you have to be extra attentive when driving. Slow down in subdivisions as you never know when a kid will put his life in danger because, well, (s)he is a kid. One of my pet peeves.....just because the speed limit is 30mph does not mean you HAVE TO drive 30mph especially when you can see children.
Just yesterday as I was stopping by my mothers house to check in on her 3 middle school kids were walking in the northbound lane. mind you this is one of the rare places in Pasco County where there actually are sidewalks. We do not see to many of them down here. But I digress.
As a result of the kids being in my lane I went into the southbound lane of this quiet subdivision street. Sure enough as soon as I get close to the kids, the dopey one on the left, dodging an dead arm punch, jumps right in front of my car. Not sure which I hit first but my brakes and horn did not fail me that day thankfully. How does the kid react?
He gives me the finger, proving yet again youth is wasted on the young, but he did dodge a Darwin award.... for now
