13.11.2010 Letter sent today to "La Stampa" and "Reppublica"
am a mother of two small children and are tired of the rudeness of motorists endure every day in Turin. More and more angry in the face of such indifference. There is a day where I do not verify this simple fact: the pawn has absolutely no meaning for the average motorist Turin and the green light even less.
Every day, bring my children to school Walk courageously and for this, I have to go through the various pedestrian crossings with traffic lights that are there to regulate traffic and make us understand the priorities on the road, but evidently no one notices. And if you're with small children (on foot or in wheelchair) not think that this is an advantage, on the contrary! Every day, the risk of getting taken in by a rude motorist (or unconscious?) That just can not see us when we cross the green (thus the above) and I hold (which tell us, grab) my daughter's hand. And I scream my indignation aside, I can not do much. The worst I also feel that it is often annoyed by these people. What to do when to take the lead is really a police car that crosses the road on pedestrian crossings, with the green of course, as happened to us lately?
Sometimes, a pedestrian witness of the scene invites me to write down the license plate number but how do I do when I manage my anger and fear of all? I'm seriously thinking munirmi ripe tomatoes and rotten eggs to throw against the culprits to calm a bit 'so my frustration and feeling a bit' less helpless.
Beatrice, mother of Matthew (6 years) and Victor (3 years)
