Today, I was driving with my little brother when out of nowhere he yelled at me to stop. Thinking it was urgent, I slammed my breaks, almost getting rammed from behind. Why did he yell for me to stop? The Pokémon GO said there was a sparrow near us. FML

First of yes sorry spearow. Second thankfully my brother and I are fine and the guy that was behind us is too, well aside from being beyond pisses off at me he was fine. The reason I slammed my break is because the street I was driving in is infamous for people getting hit because they run across hopping to beat the car and I though I was about to hit a little kid or an animal. When we got home I explained to him how Pokemon is not a good reason to get us kill especially for a simple Pokemon like that one. Don't get me wrong I play the game to and have had some close calls because I wasn't paying attention but none where while I was driving. I mostly walk or ride my bike to go hunting for pokémon

Gotta catch em all! Seriously though, have a talk with him about this. A sparrow is now worth stopping for.

I really hope someone finds a Snorlax lying on a path somewhere.

You mean a spearow? I've already caught 3 of those.

You don't actually have to stop to catch the Pokemon. If you click it before it's out of reach again, it will appear in the car & he can try to catch it while you drive. If he's too slow, that's his problem not yours.

That's exactly what I do. I missed a couple of Oddish because of it, but I'm sure as hell not about to ask my mother to stop just so I can try to catch a Pokemon that will probably turn somewhere else later. the kid needs to learn to be quicker with the tapping. Just ignore him next, and all subsequent times he does it.

OMG, time to have a talk with him about the dangers. It could have been a horrible outcome if the car would have hit you, I got the chills. It has kinda happened to me with my kid.
