While grown adults rarely win in a car versus person battle, children are even more susceptible to injuries and trauma in such collisions, and many forget this when getting on the road. It is crucial to always remember that anyone can be on the road at any given time, and that we are to share it. Please follow all posted signs and guidelines, as they are there for the protection of the public, and yourself.
