I have stopped my car several times to warn adults who I've seen giving children mower rides.
When I was two I was run over by a mower when I ran out to get a ride. No one expected me to be outside, thus no one was watching for me. I ran behind the mower as it was backing up and was struck. I lost my right arm and shattered my shoulder blade.
Life turned out okay for me despite the loss, but it obviously could have been much different. So when I see an adult giving a child a ride, I make a point to stop and warn them of the danger.
Surprisingly I have never been told to mind my own business. Maybe the stump where my arm is suppose to be gets their attention.
