A baby once crawled out in front of me from behind a wheel in a parked car on a narrow street.

The parents were not watching the baby at all, but they scowled at me when I swerved as they realized what I was swerving away from.

The parents shouldn't have let a baby crawl in the street but it's not clear to me why I would be at fault in such situation if say a kid was riding his bike on the other side and I had nowhere to swerve (honestly it is a miracle my peripheral vision even captured a baby peaking from behind tire and recognized it). I personally know of at least one instance when I was a kid and a driver hit a (jaywalking) kid on the highway and absolutely nothing happened to anyone, and we all felt that was perfectly just.
