Re: "start slowing a car down if they see something that they suspect may cause a collision"
"Its just common sense. If you are driving down the road and see a couple six year olds playing catch by the side of the road, you slow down in case one of them throws the ball out into the street and the other runs after it without looking."
It's common sense, but around here people don't use common sense. It's the child's fault for running into the road, so what's the problem, seems to be the thinking here.
You even get a motorists hitting a cyclists and not stopping because the cyclist hasn't payed "road tax" (no such thing)...
Just a great attitude all round. Driving like an a-hole seems to be socially acceptable.
