Vignettes showing mindless kids doing things in traffic. This smacks of Sid Davis (but I didn't see him in the credits).
At the end of my block was a busy street and across that street were two grocery stores a few blocks apart, well away from any traffic lights. In just a few years, as a young kid I remember at least 4 people getting nailed by cars including two fatal hits, one by my friend's dad. That was one dangerous street!
