>reacted after seeing the child step out from behind the SUV.

Lmao most drivers I see on the roads aren't even capable of slowing down for a pedestrian crossing when the view of the second half of the crossing is blocked by traffic (ie they cannot see if someone is about to step out, especially a child).

Humans are utterly terrible drivers.

They don't even stop when it's a crosswalk with a flashing light system installed and there are no obstructions.

Duh, driver is, essentially, a type of specialized profession. It's kinda unreasonable to think that everyone could learn to do it well

Good thing we have public transport! :D
