Stayed in Stanley at Summer. Came into the park and could see kids on bikes on the next road. Fine, watching....
One kid looks behind him (at his parents). We see whats coming and stop completely. He plows into the bullbar (taking the paint off too).
Apparently a new bike he just got for Christmas and still learning how to control it. I was the second car he got that day.
Thankfully I was completely stopped before he hit, it was in front of his parents, and also in front of the park manager.
However, his parents later made him come and find us and apologise, and they offered to pay to repair the paintwork (no I didn't). All his mates came too so it gave a good opportunity to instead congratulate him for wearing a helmet and emphasise the importance of it. All had theirs on, except one girl. I asked her were it was and she said back in the van. "Do you think you should have it one?" "Yes" - runs off and gets it.
He then had his bike taken off him.
In Ayres Rock Resort a couple of weeks ago and the little kids (4-7) were flying around those roads, with plenty of other heavy vehicles moving around, including a number of coaches...... None with helmets either
