Vehicles should be banned from driving on beaches. Change my mind.
Reads like a child supervision issue to me; why are you mixing seperate issues?
You could argue that, if you replaced soft sand with carpark or paddock, the kid would likely be dead.
Yes, because drivers shouldn’t be held responsible for killing/ harming people with their vehicles on a fucking beach.
Who said anything remotely like that?
I’m saying the incident could happen anywhere with lack of supervision.
It could, but beaches aren’t roads. What if someone was sunbaking or laying on the sand in an area they thought was safe? Are they allowed to be.run over because they weren’t keeping a close eye on every vehicle movement in the vicinity?
In my experience, vehicles don’t stick to any one particular “lane” on a beach so allowing them to use it as a road means the beach is now entirely unusable for anyone who is not in a vehicle.
You shouldn’t have to post a guard to ensure a member of your family is able to enjoy a beach without fear of someone in a vehicle killing them.
Not really. Driver arguably deserves more blame than the victim. Normal people don’t expect to be run over on a beach, its generally considered a vehicle free zone.
You could argue that, if you replaced soft sand with carpark or paddock, the kid would likely be dead.
Except one expects cars in a carpark. /s
The article is very lacking in details, but I will say I’m not taking blame away from the driver, it’s not even clear if the driver was family.
I’m responding to the fact OP decided to add an opinion to the article, I don’t agree cars on beaches is the issue here, especially on an island that’s world famous for driving on the beach.
