ALL NAMES in the story are FICTIONAL
Robert | 12 Year Old Boy Who Stands Behind Bus (Hansom According to Anne) | George | 12 Year Old Cyclist & Robert’s Classmate |
Anne | Robert’s Mother | Simon | George’s Best friend (Also 12 Years Old) |
Michael | Roberts Father | Susan | George’s Mother |
Jane | Robert’s 15 year old Sister (Pretty According to Anne) | Peter | George’s Father |
Andrew | Jane’s Friend’s Brother |
Robert and George enjoy working with each other in class, but don’t really spend much time together outside of the classroom due to different interests. Their relationship was a mutual one. George hates wearing a cycle helmet as he finds them very uncomfortable, he has had accidents both when wearing a helmet and also when not, and has not sustained anything more serious than a headache. He has had more near misses when wearing a helmet and he takes more risks to speed up his journey as it is that uncomfortable. George’s best friend, Simon, says “he is safer not wearing one due to his behaviour when he is wearing one”. Susan says “he must wear one”, while his Peter “He Alone should decide whether or not to wear one and MUST know both sides of the argument.”
Usually at this junction George slows down to about 12 miles per hour so that he has time to manage the risks properly (vehicles pulling out, pedestrians crossing on his green and people standing behind the bus) and the wind is stronger here then anywhere else on his journey. On this occasion it was a really hot day and the helmet was REALLY uncomfortable so he was sprinting to get home so that he could take his helmet off as soon as possible, he achieved 22 miles per hour. As he attempted to take the bend the wind caught him slightly off guard and sent him into the
BANG
Robert was rushed to Hospital with a severe head injury, George also went for a check up. George got away with only a headache which lasted a couple of hours and therefore he was then sent home. Robert however never [fully] recovered, and [he was left incontinent].
George knew that he had hurt Robert, and something bad had happened. He also knew that Robert’s sister Jane blamed him for it. However he did not have the confidence to apologise to [Robert]. He asked his [Peter & Susan] if one of them go around to Robert’s house with him to apologise, find out what had happened and if Jane was telling the truth, and to explain his side of the story. [Susan and George] went round to Robert’s house to do those things. [Robert was] happy with the explanation and so were Anne and Michael. They forgave George, however Jane didn’t, she sought to get revenge on George and asked her friend’s brother, Andrew to scare and hurt George. [Robert was] unhappy about this and told Jane to apologise to George, she didn’t so she was not picked up when she missed the bus one night and had to wait for the next bus which in two hours time. Then she apologised to George [and Robert] and [they both] forgave her.
They all lived happy ever after.
If these bods are so convinced that {Helmets Save Lives} then why not start Introducing them for Pedestrians too. I could just as easily Slip or trip while walking to bus stop and hurt my head. In Lanzarote I lost balance due to a strong Wave but hurts my Hands and One Knee - This occasion I was in the sea - WITH NO BIKE.
When is the police AND Government going to tell THE NATION THE TRUTH about ALL Safety devises. Seatbelts have Killed a few people - Granted they have saved more lives and they have lost but People Should make up their own minds.
