Was passing a school
Pedestrian crossing with no school patrol visible (which is mandatory in Scotland, during school days)
Lights on green and traffic ahead passing through
Child runs straight out, BANG, into the nearside side of my company car (around the B pillar), so on with the anchors
Parent comes across "Why you driving into my child?!?"
Child left screaming on the pavement...
Even the motorist behind me was aghast, "Look the lights were green; roads are for cars, pavements are for pedestrians, let's get moving"
I then went into the school, reported the parent for being a numpty and having more concern for me, rather than their child screaming after causing an accident of their own fault
"What, there was no school patrol present?"
And nobody seemed all that bothered about the child that had caused all this...
