It is ridiculous that we allow ANYONE. No one can maintain the levels of concentration we required for long periods of time, and in difficult conditions. And in the case of this story, with someone running in front of you, there is nothing you can do. But you are still responsible for their death, just so you can save a few minutes of time.

And yet a significant majority of automotive journeys end safely.

Exactly, 1.2 million dead each year is acceptable then!
Counterpoint: out is insane that we don't teach, young children not to run out in front of the car.
