‘A Halifax woman was handed three tickets after three children and an adult were struck at a city crosswalk Friday morning.
Police said a car lurched into an intersection at Hollis and George streets, hitting two 12-year-olds, an 11-year-old and a parent out on a school field trip.
The foursome was part of a group from Astral Drive Elementary School in Dartmouth, said a spokesman for the Halifax Regional School Board.
One of the children suffered a bump to the head, but police said all four were taken to hospital as a precaution and later released.
The 40-year-old driver was given tickets for:
going through a red light
failing to yield to pedestrians in a crosswalk
talking on a hand-held cellphone while driving’
I wish you had got ticketed for fucking sheer stupidity, you ignorant, self-involved moron.

Warning to all stupid motorist: If I see you on a cell phone and I have the right of way, I will walk faster on the crosswalk to get hit by you. Especially if you have a nice car. Then I can finally quit my job and live off sweet lady lawsuit money!I don’t mind being crippled if all I want to do is play my Super Nintendo all day!
Ah, Super Nintendo…
I just can not get over that!
This woman is obviously too dumb to be in control of an automobile. Driving is a priviledge and a responsibility, not a right, and her actions prove total irresponsibility. Therefore, this dumbass should be sentenced to taking the bus on a permanent basis.
