Good for you, Hazel. I cannot remember how many times we had the "Stop, look, and listen" drilled into us, at school and at home, not only while bicycling, but also walking.
Greg, I understand and I do NOT think "responsibility" is a dirty word. I've been writing about parents' responsibilities for years. I agree with Hazel re' the dad and the other driver. I also think it is a generalisation to say he will be back out there with his four year old.
