Look around your damn car

Ok. Damn it . This happens all the time, and yet people do not learn. Just in a few days 2 children have been run over by relatives because they do not look around their cars. This is ridiculous and completely preventable.

Here is my advice.

Instead of getting into such a hurry that you have to jump into your car and immediately pull out, when you go to get in your car, start on the passenger side and walk around the back of the car, quickly ducking to look under, look in front of the car and then get in. It takes only a few more steps and a few more seconds, and you can save injuries and possibly lives…and this does not just count with kids, but also with animals.

There is nothing worth rushing for. Life will not stop if you take a few extra steps to look…actually, you will prevent a life from stopping if you do.

Give yourself time. Do not rush. Life is not worth wasting by rushing…in the long run, rushing will only cost you more time eventually.

look. by gods, just look.
