" Crossing the road on red as an adult is okay if there really is no car coming or you can assess the situation."

"But as soon as a child is nearby"

This makes me wonder, also to Donnie, if you take it that seriously, how can you know if a child is nearby? On the one hand, people say it's okay to cross at a red light, but on the other hand they are against it. You can never know if a child sees you. Just because it's not in your field of vision doesn't mean a child can't see it. A child can be at the window, in an angle you don't see. Hidden behind a tree because it is playing hide and seek and and and....

For me, that's a contradiction. Either I'm against it or it's ok oooooor the third option, you just don't care.

I was crossing the traffic lights with an accompanying person and a left-turner pulled right through instead of waiting. i drove 20 centimetres in front of my feet and of course I was totally p**sed off

I would do the same, because children often just go straight ahead and don't look, but unfortunately not everyone thinks about the consequences, i.e. that children will imitate this behavior. I often watch dashcam videos on YT and it's not uncommon to see parents crossing the road blindly or at a red light. People with baby carriages who do this are really bad.

I now live in a slightly better part of Duisburg. There's hardly anyone on the street here in the evenings, especially during the week. A lot of people work here or are pensioners. It's a different story in other parts of the city. You should always be a role model for your children

Crossing the road on red as an adult is ok if there really is no car coming or you can assess the situation. Everyone is responsible for themselves.

But as soon as there's a child nearby, I take the view that you can't be in such a hurry, you should stop! Kids learn and copy a lot from adults, not just from their own parents.

Just what happened:

The traffic lights turned red a few seconds ago, you can still cross quickly, no cars coming from the opposite direction. I can just see a father driving up to the traffic lights with his child in one of those remote-controlled trucks where you can put the children in.

So: wait, even if the red phase of the traffic light lasts over a minute.

And what does the guy do? He steers his child, with his remote control thingy, i.e. the child in the mini-truck, across the road when the light is red. The thing doesn't drive fast, so if a car comes roaring through from the other side, it's over and the kids can't even theoretically jump back.

I just decided to give an incredulous ALTA! instead of starting a discussion. But that's just disgusting. I think this story fits very well in the bitching corner.

Thank you for your attention.

G Class remote-controlled car? 😂

I received an email from Jet with a 200% bonus in my mailbox. As soon as the payment process was completed, the site lagged so badly that I needed about 5 minutes to search for and start a game. It runs smoothly, but changing games is a challenge... It's no fun.

Hey guys. Registered with Jokerstar yesterday, verified, everything worked. At night I want to log in and Deposit and the message comes up that I'm locked out because of a 24 hour block or Oasis block or maintenance work. Then I go to Betano, bwin and everything works normally. Never had anything like this before. Any ideas?

I have also been unable to log into my Pokerstars account since last night because I can't connect to Oasis at the moment. But this only seems to affect some providers, maybe this is the reason for you too?

the guy's driver's license should have been revoked and the child should have had to drive home alone... maybe the child was too heavy and driving off would have cost too much battery some people have so much money that they think they own the road traffic regulations..but if the child can't even drive itself then it is probably still too young for traffic lights and was exposed to danger without knowing it...with a lot of luck it will be smarter than the father

What the f.... A few days ago I was still in 1st place in a Tournament with a Multiplier of 1119x and prize money of 1500 dollars. And now I've slipped down to 7th place .

If it stays like this, there will only be 200 euros and then it will continue to be bread and water 🤣

I'd be interested to know which tournament it's about and which casino you're in 7th place in, or don't you want to talk about it?
