Be aware while driving that the kids are back on the streets. I have noticed many times (now that I don't keep regular travel times due to working at home or on different sites and irregular timings) that there times of great traffic load and others when the traffic is quite sparse.
The kids have had all summer to dash about, many times in the same location that they are now schooling, it is far too easy for them to 'not notice' the extra cars. Of course it is only all too human to want to get where we are going, to be mentally focused on what we want to achieve for the day… with its tendency to 'not' see things around us.
Take extra care today and for the next couple of weeks to be extra vigilant, leave a little earlier, stay within or even just a little below the posted speed limit, don’t allow yourself to get in a hurry.
When I was in the military, one of the signs posted in the 'Permanent Married Quarters' (PMQ) area where my wife and I lived (prior to children), stated: "Please slow down, the child you hit... may be your own."
Please slow down. js
