When you say "on your left", kids and many adults turn their heads to the left to look followed by their shoulders and then the bike turns left.
Kids and dogs are unpredictable so I always slow down just to be safe. It will be a really bad day for me if I hit a kid or a dog. If it's an adult their fair game
