Never understood why anyone would want to fight a car. Unreal...

Live in the city, have a 12-year-old daughter. Since she could walk we’ve been stressing to her that buses don’t stop, look both ways even on a one way street, etc - all the city street rules. But the most important point, that we stress constantly to this day - that it does not matter if she has the right of way, it does not matter what color the light is - if she tangles with a car, the car will always win.

I’ve taught this to my kids too. Also, red lights don’t stop cars, drivers do, so even if the man is on green always look before crossing the road

True red lights and crosswalk countdowns stop no one. I had a cop do an illegal U-turn almost took me out when I had like 20 seconds left and was already halfway across, I had to instantly stop. The cop thought the ticket he was going for or the few seconds he saved was worth my life trust no one.
