Is a child ever too young to learn about road safety? Well, for one set of parents, they are about to find out.

On 15 February, a cam car driver was cruising down the roads of Edgefield Plains when he almost had a heart attack.

The cause?

A young toddler dashing towards the middle of a pedestrian crossing despite the traffic lights being in favour for oncoming vehicles.

His older sister stood before the crossing, waiting for the lights to turn green.

However, upon seeing her younger sibling run across the road without harm, she joined him.

At this moment, the cam car driver stepped on his brakes and managed to stop his vehicle from mowing down the two children.

Soon after, a grown up, presumably the kids’ helper, chased the two kids and waved for them to stop.

Worried about the younger toddler, who was already at the other side of the crossing, she dashed across the road to chase the carefree child.

Unsure if she should do the same, the older sibling ran behind her helper, lifting her right hand briefly to thank the driver for stopping for them.

The child quickly picked up the pace when she noticed another car coming in the opposite direction.

Bewildered by this incident, the cam car driver submitted the video to warn other motorists to be alert on the roads.

Netizens’ reactions

Even if the roads were empty and quiet, it is never safe to disregard traffic signals and dash across the street like this.

Parents of young children should take note and teach their kids the importance of following traffic signals.

I'm sure they would be horrified to know that their kids almost got into a nasty accident - if not for this alert driver!

What if something had happened to the older child? The helper should have stopped and ensured the safety of both children instead of risking their safety.

While chasing the first child across the road, she had put herself and the second child in danger too!

  • A 20-year journey, an old passion rekindled

    For us 90s babies, the Holy Trinity of Disney Channel, Nickelodeon, and Cartoon Network formed a big part of our childhood. The internet was just about coming into fruition, with the rise of a plethora of websites with numerous entertaining flash games and of course, the early days of YouTube. And though those things have come and gone, one thing in my life remained constant: My love for Pokemon. I first got into Pokemon 20 years ago, and I remember exactly how it went down. Let me set the

    Germany is weird, too

    As we've previously established and regularly highlighted, Japan is pretty weird.  And as it turns out, Germany's kinda weird, too:  m2-res_720p.mp4 The above video has been making its rounds on social media, and the simplest description of it is that it's a game where they are trying to cut an object (here, a pretzel) EXACTLY in half. It's pretty amazing that the person actually succeeds, but the fact that this is a game at all (on TV, no less) is fascinating.  Schlag d

    Fascinated by honey

    If there's one natural food (aka can be eaten raw) that I absolutely love, it's honey. Yes, there are countless varieties from around the world, but for this story, we'll talk about the kind that comes straight out of a hive, complete with honeycomb. I'm not an expert on this topic, but every time I consume raw, unprocessed honey, it tastes a lot better compared to honey that comes in a jar. No squeeze-bottle honey for me, please. Perhaps it's just my imagination, but raw honey doesn't
