  • The girl is very lucky she didn’t sustain more injuries.
    At 6 years old I never let my children cross a road alone or in a shopping centre carpark. They had to have their hands held.
    I wish there was a way that cars will not start at all if the driver has drunk alcohol enough for a system in the car to pick it up. We need more RBT Units.
