If you can't reverse safely because there are loads of very small kids about, then to carry on regardless seems wrong to me.** Maybe you need to get a reversing camera fitted?
** Anybody know the legal position if one of the small kids gets killed?
I still don't understand why very small children - ie short enough not to be seen in a car's windows - are playing around cars. It's an accident waiting to happen and the parents need to take responsibility. Why would you let children who may not even know how to cross a road out to play in a street without adult supervision?
Parents have a responsibility not to neglect their children and to keep them safe. It's hard to see how allowing preschoolers to play around cars meets this.Please stay safe in the sun and learn the A-E of melanoma: A = asymmetry, B = irregular borders, C= different colours, D= diameter, larger than 6mm, E = evolving, is your mole changing? Most moles are not cancerous, any doubts, please check next time you visit your GP.

But why should motorists be forced to buy things they can't afford and don't understand in order to do something legal in the correct place just because parents aren't doing any parenting and allow children to go mental in a place that's not a communal or play area?
Accepting that it's unfair, you still aren't allowed to run the kids over. If you can't move the car safely, you can't move it.
Besides that, you'd feel wretched if you did actually kill a child.No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?0 -

I also have the right not to be put in the position of having to potentially endanger something I can't see, because of poor supervision and decision-making of others.
I don't have a good answer to that. It's unfair. Maybe, you have to get an injunction to stop them playing there, which will be expensive to get. More sensibly, you need to enrol the other households in a delegation to the parents of the kids. This is a dangerous situation.
However, as you know the kids play there, you really need to take extra special care not to run them over.
In the case Pyxis found all the driver did was drive in his own shared driveway. He's guilty. Sentence to be decided, but the court is clearly considering jail.No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?0 -

The police regularly stop the traffic if livestock get loose on roads, so surely even more so for children.No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?0 -

Yep. 2 years and 2 months. And I got a refund...
