First of all I would like to send my condolences to Ruaraidh’s parent(s).
I can’t even imagine how you must be feeling.
Second of all, I would like to say that this is becoming too common in our busy Lothian streets – drivers’ need to be more attentive when they are driving, and kids need to be taught about the dangers of the roads, and make sure they read the green cross code.
Schools, and parents seem to be lacking in the basic teaching of road rules, and too many families are going through the pain, that this young boy’s family is going through.
IT’S TIME TO GET A GRIP DRIVERS – BE MORE ATTENTIVE, DRIVE SLOWER, AND DON’T ALLOW PEOPLE TO FEEL THIS PAIN ANYMORE!!!
