12yr old kids that run out from between 2 transit vans in torrential rain then splat themselves all over your front fairing, bending your wing mirror totally inwards and nearly knocking you and the bike over.........then run off.

I do often wonder if kids are taught how to cross roads these days, it was drummed into us as kids yet all i tend to see is kids staring you out or slowing down deliberately to take the piss.
Dropping a gear and taking aim tends to wipe the smirk rapidly of their faces but in my day we were taught to be polite and look left and right before even contemplating crossing.
