Not one but two kids just got creamed at the crosswalk at my kid's school. On Monday of this week.
Actually my kid did crosswalk guard in middle school, but they use stop signs on long poles so they didn't have to use their bodies to try to get karen to slow down.
You are speaking of more well to do families, and today. Starbucks had not been established. Back then, if Karen did 45 on hills on both side of the crosswalk, they would have put their car airborne and ended up in the ditch on that very narrow road. As far as steering with a knee, that is real hard to do without power steering. We never heard of any of these modern dangers.
In fact, most of those mothers drove three on the tree standard transmission. I know my mom rode the clutch and had a firm grip with two hands on that steering wheel.
