I was driving on the 401 yesterday and saw something I was quite shocked by. About 30 minutes outside of Windsor...so between Windsor and Chatham...I was going under an over pass. I look over to the side where the pillar things are to hold up the over pass, and you know how they slant down towards the 401? Well...they were covered in snow and I see 3 really young boys sliding down them onto the side of the 401! Fortunatly they weren't sliding directly ON to the 401...but it was close enough!

I was utterly disgusted by this...where are the parents?!

I continued driving, while constantly checking in my rear view mirror...and next thing I know...I see the 3 kids skipping across the 401!!! There was a median in the middle, which I didn't think the kids were even big enough to get over.

They were lucky b/c the 401 was pretty dead and the roads weren't slippery. But this was terrible. I really hope the kids didn't get hurt. I also hope that the parents found out what the kids were doing and not only disciplined them, taught them it was the wrong thing to do...but most importantly, kept a better watch on them!

If you're living that close to the 401 you need to make sure your kids understand the dangers!!

This brings a whole new meaning to parents telling their kids to "GO PLAY IN THE DAMNED HIGHWAY THEN"

the worst part is if u hit them it would be YOUR fault...

that part of the law really needs to be changed. It gives pedestrians the balls to take on 2 tonnes of steel and im sick of it.

That is bad too! Thank God I saw them in time...not that they were in the road where I could hit them when I drove by...but if someone hit them when they were running across the road...

I think I'm going to write a letter to the editor of the Windsor star or something.

What part of the law?
Could you elaborate here on how exactly it would be the driver's fault?

whenever you hit a pedestrian it is the driver's fault. And even if charges are waived, insurance will still punish you.

Replace sound with ARE

I am sorry, but it is not always the parents fault. Do you not remember growing up? How many times did you tell your parents you were going one place, and just go somewhere else?

My mom was an extremely good mother, and cares for me deeply, but there is no way she can know where I was all the time. Kids do stupid things, its part of their childhood.

Its true

If they end up being road pizza its no one's fault but theirs.
