I'm with the parent who didn't even glance your way... maybe you should slow down. Kids will be kids after all right?

But the problem with this is that, some people actually do slow down and yet still have parents bitching and complaining about how they almost hit their kid, even when they're doing 10 km/h below the speed limit. I'm not saying that all people drive slower than the speed limit in a children-dominated residential area but some people do. It gets on my nerves when I get parents bitching at me even though I'm being as careful as I can, and also I can tell when parents discriminate me because I'm a young driver so that gets on my nerves even more. So, words to the parents. Watch your kids, tell them not to run on the roads, look both sides, and seriously, if it's your fault, don't bitch and complain at the driver. But if it's the driver's fault, feel free to do whatever you please. Cause there are some dumbass drivers out there on the roads.
