Campaign Urges Abandoning Child Rides By Passing Cars

It warns hundreds of accidents yearly result as children solicit lifts, urging motorists and parents to discourage the habit and keep children safe in traffic. It notes many drivers have little time to react and that such rides endanger both child and driver. The AA A calls for school officials to warn children and for parents to emphasize the dangers of soliciting rides.
