Driver's near-miss moment with child

Dashboard camera footage shows a child riding into the path of an oncoming car "without looking".

Stupid kid :Shocked: straight to the other side without looking where a car was coming that way as well :rolleyes:

I nearly hit a teenager heading home from school last Friday, bloody idiot was riding in the middle of the road coming up to a roundabout staring at his phone with me coming directly at him on the 90 degree turn in, didn't need to use the horn as I think the fright of me coming at him head on and stopping a meter before cleaning him up shocked his senses :head_butt:

Be interesting to see how the AEB system would handle a situation like this.
With some of the dills on the road we need all the assistance we can get occasionally.
