Drivers took to driving on the wrong side of the street and never slowing on corners. So last month they put the speed bumps back, and everyone began to complain again. Then one day we were driving up the road when a little kid came darting out in front of us. OMG says the driver - if I hadn't had to slow down for that last speed bump I would have hit that little guy!<br />We can watch our kids, teach our kids, remind them about the dangers of darting into the street - but kids are kids - sometimes having fun makes them forget. That's when it's up to us big people to do what we can to keep them safe - and, for me anyway - those speed bumps do!<br />I love my speed bumps!<br />Great blog!<br />We all need reminders from time to time.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00373545547570187085noreply@blogger.com
