Keep your eyes on the road

mbarkerOne of the leading news stories here concerns a kindergarten class. You see them all over Japan, lines of kids in their little uniforms, usually with bright hats, lined up in twos, often holding hands, with teachers walking them somewhere.
In this case, the teachers were walking them from the kindergarten to a nearby park. Five teachers, 33 children, on the edge of the road.
And a 37-year-old man apparently was fussing with a cassette tape in his car. He swerved and ran through the kids, hitting a utility pole.
Two dead, two in critical condition, over a dozen injured.
Apparently he was speeding, in addition to not watching where he was going. The police have said that he wasn't drinking, so that's not an excuse.
Maybe they can arrange to run that tape on a permanent loop, repeating over and over, in his prison cell.
