    I can't see how they could charge the driver, he had already told them to stay away by the sounds of it, poor guy, it would definitely traumatize you!

    The driver had identified the hazard and attempted to minimise the risk by asking the kids to stop, the kids stayed and the driver continued with the hazard still present with the tragic outcome.

    The driver is at fault. (As fucked up as it is)

    I agree with you Kokako it is seriously fucked up. The authorities will hold the view that the driver could have eliminated the risk by stopping the activity.

    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms
