Is that insane or what ? ATV's do NOT belong on the road . Children should NOT be driving these things .

This is what happened to a father in Great Brittan who allowed his 7 year old to drive one on the road .

The parents should be responsible for allowing a child on an ATV and on the road. I don't know all the facts, but do know the injuries that can be caused r/t AVT's. Some people do not protect their kids.

While this is a tragic accident, the family is out of line in what they are trying to do here. I'm sure the driver feels horrible as it is. However, they were allowing a 10 year old to drive an ATV on a road, by herself. This is just like a deer jumping out in the middle of the road, most of the time you have no warning, it just happens

I work with the gentlemen that was driving the truck, and like Ryan states, he felt horrible about the incident. The girl was driving the four wheeler down their driveway and instead of truning she drove out into the road in front of the truck. It is a terrible tragedy, for all involved.

I understand that the parents are hurting. But they are laying the blame in the wrong direction. They, themselves should be prosecuted for endangering the welfare of a child.
