Road safety tips

"Driving a car is basically like riding a bicycle," Nathan asserted as we drove home after riding bikes in the park. Life is a little simpler from the seven-year-old perspective.

"Kind of, although it's a lot more complicated," I said.

"Yeah," piped in Michael. "Because you can get pulled over by driving too fast in a car, but you can't get pulled over by riding too fast on your bike, can you?"

He continued. "Basically, if you don't want to get arrested, it's safest to walk."

There you have it: traffic safety tips from a five-year-old.
