Re: Stupidity and traffic don't mix

Maybe he was showing off infront of his friends? Maybe he had a disability in that he had no sense of danger?

No excuse I know, but I have a child who has no sense of danger and this is something that he would do. Which is why I have to know where he is and who he is with 24/7

It's not all just stupid kids you know.

Well I could see 4 stupid kids stood in the bus lane, 1 stupid kid who head butted a bus and another stupid kid who tried to jump over the fence but luckily for him, did not make it, he did see his mate head butt a bus which you don't see everyday.

Re: Stupidity and traffic don't mix

He seems to trip as he goes over the railing, he got off lucky, a second earlier and he would have been under the bus, is just a kids trick really, but you would think the school would have a teacher outside school to prevent things like this, they did when I went to school!

It isnt a pelican crossing either, they are traffic lights, it is used to cross because the lights change regularly on timers!

I'd disagree there, you can clearly see the the cowls on the lights, if they were traffic lights there would be three of them, theres only two though, these would be the green man-red man, if they are traffic lights who they pointing at, there well before the junction.
Don't think its a toucan, heres a pic of one Image:TUCANCrossing.jpg - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia notice the difference with the white lines

It's definitely not traffic lights because they are not at a road junction.

The cars opposite are stopped at the lights for the same junction, if not then why are they all stopped and waiting? Yes the lights are a way from the junction but they are for that junction.

Re: Stupidity and traffic don't mix

I'm not saying it's not a traffic controlled junction - it is, i'm trying to point out that the lights I have shown in the picture are pointing towards pedestrians that would be on the centre island and not to traffic coming out of the road you see to the right

It all boils down to Darwin's theory of evolution
We have developed to dominate all other species because of intelligence.
Anyone that thick gets weeded out early - 'survival of the fittest' applies.
He either 'learns' or acts stupid again -so preventing his genes from being passed to the next generation.

We all do stupid things sometimes and make mistakes, a little bird told me even you did something stupid after an AccyWeb meet.
