Comment on Young girl 'unresponsive' after being run over by ute on popular Queensland island

If the speed limit is a hundred gazillion but you can’t see enough to be able to stop for someone you are being homicidally reckless. It’s a limit not a target.

But to return back to something relevant; Yes. Controlling machinery does, in a way, imply controlling it. Very astute. This is why it’s fine to play in traffic without supervision, everyone’s in control.
On a less sarcastic note, I hope y’all aren’t procreating.

Hey so if I’m holding a drill on a build site, and a kid is there for whatever reason, and I walk up to them and drill through there leg at low speed what am I?

Are you for real that analogy?
You’re effectively saying the driver knew the child was there and internationally drove over them.

A weird person actively seeking out children to harm them.
Do you have a point here or was that it? Do we need to call the police?
