I almost hit a kid

I kid you not, I almost did! On one of the roads that I drove through, the path was narrow and there were houses near the road. It's a bit deserted and quiet village. I don't know how the folks there think as they're pretty oblivious about their safety regarding the road usage. They might live in a deserted area, but sometimes there were even huge lorries driving through there. But really, those people had little reservation on what they should be doing. A grandmother was walking beside her granddaughter that was cycling a toddler's bike on the road. Not once, I met them twice. A kid nearly walked straight into my company's van once. They saw the vehicles, yet they still walking on the road like they're made of iron. So today, I turned and drove into the narrow road. There were lots of cars today and most were parked near the road. Thankfully for that, I drove really slow there. A girl, maybe around six, suddenly just showed up behind a car and ran like she had no care in the world. If I were driving fast, I would've hit her. Then she ran around the car that parked there like the whole thing didn't happen. I almost had a heart attack, yet she didn't feel anything. I need to be really, really careful when driving through that road again. Those people might not care about their life, I certainly want to make a safe trip without needing to go to the police station.
