Not really, but once when my daughter was about 8–9 she a good friend were finally allowed to ride their bikes back and forth to each others houses about a mile and a ¼ distance which was mostly on our private one mile long dirt/gravel road up here in the hills of NorCal.
Her friend Mallory was another ¼ mile down the paved road from our corner.
Thing was that the UPS guys used to haul ASS on our road which often had kids, dogs and horse/ponies on it.
I had complained before about how fast these guys drove on our private road and then, one day, my daughter told me that her friend had fallen and sprained her arm because the UPS truck ran them off the side of the road!
Thing is Mallory told her mom that she had simply fallen and my daughter told the truth of what had really happened, but begged me not to tell Mallorys mom.
Sorry, no go, this was too serious to cover up.
Both the girls were mad at me and actually the mom wasn’t all that concerned.
She acted as if I was over reacting, I disagreed and told her she was lucky her daughter wasn’t hurt or killed. C’mon a UPS van running little girls off the road and causing them to fall and hurt themselves!
I filed a major complaint with the UPS office and that particular driver was suspended from his route. No excuse for driving like a maniac on a rural road with kids, dogs and horses. Nope, not at all.
