A crossing guard was killed by the driver of a dump truck yesterday. absolutely heartbreaking. Look at our intersections, look how hostile these are for people/children - this is what we continue to build and defend at all costs. These aren't accidents, these are results. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

If you're driving, speed & hit someone, you're at fault. But, that doesn't mean that government's who encourage or facilitate dangerous driving are blameless. If you're in a collision w a speeding driver where a speed camera was removed email us: info@thebikinglawyer.ca 1/2

Make this Halloween a safe and fun one: 🕢 Plan your trips to avoid driving residential neighbourhoods between 6-9pm 🕢 🕷️If you have to drive a residential street - go at a crawl speed 🕷️ 🚧 Apply for a block party, close your street to drivers, open it up to kids! 🚧

An info graphic poster relays information from the post text.

🎃Halloween is the one night of the year when kids get to take over their neighbourhoods for a few hours of fun.

It is also the most dangerous time of year. Tragically, kids aged 4 to 8 are 10 times more likely to be killed by a driver on Halloween than any other night.
