Reply #102: After some little kids were creamed at a school pick-up spot

[Hekate]

in L.A., one of the articles I read about UAV's pointed out that the drivers often can't tell when they've climbed the curb (!), and accidents like that one have become more common. And with a cell-phone glued to Mom's ear...

As I crossed the street in our little city awhile back I tried to catch the eye of the driver of the tank with its nose against the crosswalk lines. (Looked like a tank; probably was a Hummer?) She never looked my way, but the thing that really struck me (so to speak) was that as I passed in front of the vehicle I completely lost sight of the driver. Which meant, I think, that she couldn't see me either.
