Little street terror.

I did that all the time in my neighborhood. Also had a neighbor come down and tell me to slow down. Said it was because his brother was hit by a car. I said then I would expect you to make damn sure your son knows not to play in the street, and never to expect a car to avoid him if he choses not to move. The last customer car I released to him I did a holeshot on my driveway with. I'll be damned if I build it and don't test it like the owner will.
No matter how carefully you raise your kids, they are still kids. That's why there are laws about driving responsibly.
