Traffic on Summer Stream Lane is light and vehicles 'usually' drive at a reasonable speed. The children using these mini motorcycles try to crank up the speed to go as fast as they can, mostly riding in the middle of the street, now and then on the sidewalk.

The children have no idea of what is going to happen to them if they lay the motorcycle down and they are a hazard to anyone pulling out of their driveway, these 'toys' are very low to the ground, go faster than cars usually travel and those driving them have absolutely no judgment, they are CHILDREN, they have no skills to drive these machines.

The parents of these children should not be allowing them use these mini cycles. It is an extremely poor idea and I suspect that they will only find this out when one of their children ends up in an emergency room.

When the accident happens I already know what the parents will do:
1) Go to the hospital,
2) Contact a lawyer to sue someone

The kids have absolutely NO BUSINESS driving these mini cycles, it is totally illegal and highly dangerous.

If the above information has not convinced you to stop letting your children use these mini cycles, consider the liability issue:

If your child runs into another cycle rider, someone on a bike, a mother with a baby carriage or anyone either on foot or in a car, your homeowners insurance isn't going to be nearly enough, you will probably lose your home and savings in a civil suit for damages.

Plus the police will be involved and you will also end up with a criminal charge as well for allowing your child to use the mini cycles!
