From what I understand the parents at the American School have been told not to cross the road, I hope the man that crossed realizes people could of been killed due to his ignorance. That being said a person should be in control of their vehicle and be able to break if cars are stopped, so the truck driver is clearly at fault, its true people drive here as if they are the only ones in the universe. But that road is like a highway and not meant to be crossed. Haadian7 very glad you are alright and your child was not with you, also make sure your head rests are positioned for your height in case of accidents. Its true whenever I see a man in uniform he is usually a very bad driver, and I give him extra caution. Its funny you would think the police would try to set a a good example. Haadian was the parent involved interviewed by the police?
