[QUOTE="OLDMAN3, post: 1405817"] Ok... This actually happened to me 20 years ago. Stopped on a resi street behind a car, a lady was coming out of a house on the right with several kids. She is saying goodbye and loading her infant into the car when I am delivering to the house she came out of. Then I walk to, and deliver to a house across the street and slightly behind. I made the mistake of delivering the house she was coming out of first because her sister was still in the doorway making for an easy D.R. When I got back to the truck she was closing her car door. I was coming from the house slightly behind my truck and across the street. I entered on the driver's side. Thinking that all the kids were loaded in the car, I started my engine and just as I start to let go of the clutch, I noticed a 4 year old girl on the blvd just in front of me. I brake to stop rolling. She runs into the street in front of my truck and pulls her 1 1/2 year old brother from right in front of my right tire to the curb. I had no idea he was there. It took me the rest of the work day to calm down. I always enter the truck on the passenger side now, and check in front of the truck before starting up. [/QUOTE]
