October 5 was national walk to school day so I though I would mention the 629 (on average) school kids (up to age 15) that are hit by motorists every year just in Maryland. There may be a logical reason why some are walking instead of driving. Maybe we should lower the driving age to 10? .. OR maybe we should make the roads safer for everyone.
