Ice cream trucks in Rotterdam
We want ice cream trucks back in Rotterdam!
Why is this important?
Ice cream trucks were banned from Rotterdam years ago when a young girl was hit and killed by one. This was a very unfortunate accident however it should not have led to ice cream trucks being banned. They are still allowed in other areas all around the country. This accident could’ve happened anywhere. Therefore, they cannot just ban ice cream trucks in Rotterdam and no where else. A child could also have been hit by a car and killed, it doesn’t have to be an ice cream truck. And you can’t just ban cars from a town everytime someone is hit by one. Parents should also teach their children when they hear the ice cream truck not to run out in the middle of the road. They can simply stand outside the door to their house and the ice cream truck will see them and stop. As previously stated, ice cream trucks still exist in other areas, including ones right outside of Rotterdam. Therefore, we the people of Rotterdam think it’s time we bring ice cream trucks back to our town.
