【休斯顿】十岁小孩被车撞，报警后得罚单ZT

[BoBoMa]

这件事发生在大约两周前。这个十岁的小男孩放学回家经过一段没有人行道的路面时被
一个teenager司机开的车给撞了。司机停车后问过小孩没事，就开走了。

晚上小孩母亲报警，说小孩被撞后腰酸背疼的什么的。警察来后访问双方了解情况后，
给小孩及司机各开了一张罚单：

1. 小孩在车道上靠右行走，违反交通规则；
2. 司机没有注意观察路上的行人。

我们一般都知道在没有人行道的地方，行人上马路行走出于安全考虑一般走左边。这个案例的重点是，法律规定“行人必须走左边”，否者
违法。美国绝大多数州都有类似的法律规定。

学校原来发过这个safety tips，说行人要走在自己的左边也就是开车人的右边，原因是行人可以看到来的车，来的车对你有不安全的举动时可以马上做出反应。

这里提请有国内父母来探亲的朋友们，一定要给老人交待清楚，有人行道的地方走人行道，没有人行道的地方靠左行。

有道理，要自己注意自己的安全才行。

Wrong.

In ottawa, 10 years can stay at home alone.

cucapila 是错了。建议10岁的孩子去参加一个“Stay Home Alone + First-Aid”课程。

移民部的网站上是这么说的：
“Some important laws that may apply to your family:

Children under 12 years of age cannot be left at home alone or care for younger children.
All children aged six to 16 must receive some form of education.
Depending on which part of Canada you live in, you must be either 18 or 19 years old to buy or drink alcohol.
It is against the law to use, buy or sell addictive drugs such as marijuana, heroin or cocaine.
It is against the law to make any kind of sexual remarks or advances if the other person is not receptive.
It is against the law to hit anyone, including your spouse or children, either in the home or in public.
