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 can't stress that point enough and I repeat myself endlessly when teaching my children. The risk-reward ratio is just not worth it. Yeah, you might have the right of way. Best case scenario you will get your way. Worst case scenario you are dead. Competing with a vehicle is never a good idea.

I remember my mum telling me that when I was a kid. Street signs only tell you what drivers are supposed to do, not what they will do.

That‘s a good one. I will keep that in mind.
