The Editor,
I get concerned by children and teens walking in front of cars, especially during fall and winter. They don't realize cars can't stop as easily when it's icy.
I encourage parents to nag, nag, nag your kids about road safety and explain how much harder it is for cars to stop for them at this time of year. Tell them to get eye contact with the driver who has come to a full stop before walking in front of their vehicle. Just because it's a crosswalk, it doesn't mean the cars are going to be able to stop.
