I'm not sure of your point. Should I be educating her that she has already possesses the right to place her body and a "low" powered , "light weight" object anywhere she pleases on "the road " with blatant disregard for her safety and the safety of others ? The dear friends I have lost on "the road " in the last 50 years may well have had the right to be where they were when they were killed, but they are dead none the less. If "a confined space shared with other human beings" is the correct definition of "a road", I can see why there is such a huge misunderstanding between "road users ". Unlike some parents , I consider her safety as my responsibility at least until she is legally an adult and have always provided supervision for her when she needs to "use the road". Once all Aussies are obligated to adhere to the rules of Australian roads and they are enforced correctly, we will all have common ground and be better equipped to keep each other safe.
