Under French Law, the pedestrian has the right of way while on a zebra-crossing. In the PIC, the octogenarian was tossed-up and knocked down at the far right position. The primary school is in the arbored background.
IF EVER I HAD A COUNTRY : LXII - LXIII
LXII
If ever I had a country with streets under graffiti
And if ever I were the Minister of Transport who travels about for free
I'd give a free ride to the Minister of Justice Home Secretary and the Chief Executice - yes, all three
To this township run by the waxworks looked-up to Caďd son of a refugee
To watch how I paint every allée rue boulevard and avenue with zebra-crossings down on my knee
To remind the Police the Pompiers de Paris politicos and motorists that the speed limit on the stripes is under thirty
That is, if ever I were the Minister of Transport who travels about doing nothing for free
And even if I nerver ever had no country with no streets under graffiti
LXIII
IF ever I had a country with streets under graffiti
And if ever I were put in-charge of the traffic by the Transport Secretary
I'd tell the World that no-where else in the Universe(s) a migrant Tunisian speeding motorist can toss up and knock down an octogenarian pedestrian and get off scot-free
That is on a zebra-crossing at the entrance to a primary school right under a speed-limit signpost marked in red " 30 " thirty
Where the victim's heart shocked into arhythmic beat coped with cranial trauma multiple head-to-toe wounds fracture writhed in pain in the thick of winter in over an hour and a half's agony

That is, if ever I were put in-charge of the traffic in this lawless over-migrant-run township territory
And even if I never ever had no country with no streets under graffiti
Bonjour Ron ! This's just another example of your concern for and empathy with others. Does you proud. No need to adduce my thanks. Yes, as your comment implies, the octogenarian can't have many remaining "years" left. That's exactly what the criminally-inclined await. For your info - check with the debate in the States on "concussion" or cranial trauma in American football now going on - damage to the head (the octogenarian's right-side forehead crashed into the culprit car windscreen and dented it) can never be reversed as the African neurologist specializing on Superbowl stars maintains on CNN. Let's hope it can be delayed long enough for me to make my case. Every good wish.
An eye-opening look into the world of human trafficking. Pilar thought she was destined to die until she met Becky. A fairy tale ending to this story with the help of Tess is called Justice. It was time for someone to hit back because the courts in S
A raw in your face story of teenage love, lust, murder, and revenge set in the Bronx in the early seventies, where the cold business world of organize crime melds with the brutality of street gang warlords that ignites a winner takes all battle for u
