Girl hit on zebra crossing lands in court

We're very glad to report that the Swiss are taking steps to ensure kids pay
attention when crossing the road - by dragging into court a nine-year-old
hit by a car on a zebra crossing.
The unnamed girl was, according to Ananova, "slightly injured after she was
hit by the car while crossing the road with her mum and younger sister". The
car driver, however, claimed she'd run out from behind a bus and straight
into his car, thereby representing "a danger to him and other motorists".

The pre-teen tearaway now faces a possible fine when she appears in
Schaffhausen youth court. A public prosecutor's office spokesperson
confirmed this was the normal procedure for maintaning order on
Schaffhausen's streets since it "shows them what they did wrong and prevents
them from being involved in accidents in the future".
