Last winter, my schedule took me by the local High School just before the start of the school day. Sweet, merciful Jeebus that was nerve wracking. Teens are hands down the least attentive motorists on the road, sidewalk, median, lawn, MUP, or ditch. Seriously, the legal driving age needs to be moved to 25. The upshot was that I started showing up to work 15-20 minutes early to avoid the carnival of kiddy carnage.
The drivers that've hit me (two of these were partially my fault): Guy in his late 20s in a Subaru, 17 year high school girl in a lifted Dodge pick-up, late 40s/early 50s man in a Porsche, and a 20-something woman in a new Jetta. Guess you just gotta watch
everybody.

They didn't even know you were there.
