Im now about 50 yrds from the end of the road and to my right is a line of cars parked so you cant really see what is behind them. Out of the blue this other kid probably his friend doesnt even look left nor right jumps right out in front of my car!!! im not talking like 50ft away either, im talking like 15-20ft!! I slammed the breaks to the floor as hard as i could with a few choice words as it was all happening. Luckily nobody got hurt/hit except for my lunch that was in a plastic bag that flew off the passenger seat. By the time the car stopped i was maybe 5-7ft from him, he was like a deer caught in headlights. REALLY!!! EVER HEARD OF LOOKING BOTH WAYS AND NOT ASSUMING THERE ARE NO ON COMING VEHICLES !!! . I was a bit shaken up due to the fact I almost hit a kid, but luckily thats not the case. Ok my venting is done. What a way to start my day
Nature has a way of weeding out the bad eggs

Nah, luckily no one was hurt.
