Vehicles should be banned from driving on beaches. Change my mind.

If you are controlling machinery, and you fail to observe potential hazards and account for them, you are negligent.

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.

    the ute rolled over her at a low speed

    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. Or babysitting. Or even have a pet goldfish.

    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 their leg at low speed what am I?

    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?
