When I drive there are things I see which I am not sure what they are but I don't care since they are stationary over there and I am going that a way over here instead. I don't stop to take a good look before continuing.

If they're in your path and you can't tell the difference is what we're talking about here. And that difference is very important because the dynamic characteristics of a pedestrian, bicycle, car or other object should factor into your model of their future trajectory and speed.

"There's something straight ahead of me, unclear what. Let's just ram into it, full throttle!" If that's your thought process, please cease driving immediately and permanently.
