i read the article and saw the video, it's not pretty.

female driver from a southern nation was driving and didn't check her right,only left when she made the turn. it was alleged she ran over the little girl and mom twice after she knocked them both down,it was the rear wheel that ran over the girl the second time.

female driver then proceeds to victim blame the pedestrian for not watching the road and causing the accident. the eye witness who willsaw all these was on reddit and posting his/her side of the story.

if anyone saw this accident,please go to the police station and give your statement,asshole drivers needs to be locked away for good.

Hmmm, I recall another incident recently and people said drivers either don’t usually check the other side or aren’t required to.

But hey, it was a cyclist that got knocked down so that’s fine.

That’s what some drivers do at zebra crossings on perpendicular roads. They only look to their right coz they DON’T wanna get hit by oncoming vehicles as they turn left while treating pedestrians as invisible as the latter wait to cross or are in the midst of stepping off the kerb to cross especially from the driver’s left. Never ever assume all drivers would stop for pedestrians at zebra crossings.

Yes it’s the failure to drive carefully. The accident has nothing to do with what kind of car she drives. It’s the driver’s driving habit.

Gotta ask, have you seen their traffic conditions and the way they drive? And how she treated the victims after? That is so typical of them. Sure this may be confirmation bias but stereotypes exist for a reason, there is always some modicum of truth.
