So the other day while driving I almost ran into a dad and 2 kids. It was a busy intersection and there was a car who was not stopping at the stop sign and a big SUV blocking my view the other way, I slowly made my left turn making sure the car at the stop sign was going to stop, but in the middle of my turn this guy and his kids decided to quickly cross right in front of me somehow expecting I would see them in my blind spot knowing I was making a tough turn even though I had all the right of way. Anyway this has got my anxiety up quite a bit and the classic "what if" negative thought process going.

Hi WestCanada05, The main thing is that you did not hit them this stuff happens all the time. Probably a dad trying to handle the kids without mom and he was stressed and just not thinking. Really you did a great thing because you saw them and did not hit them. Right? Your a hero
