Let's say the driver was going the speed limit and the kid ran out 15 feet closer to the car. He'd still have been hit.

The problem with propaganda like that video is it assumes that the kid/dog/whatever will always be running out from the same location. Or it assumes that I'm too stupid to think that the kid/dog/whatever could run out in front of me at any location.

If I'm doing 50 in a 50 zone and a kid falls backwards off a curb at a bus stop 10 feet in front of my car, he's probably going to end up a hood ornament.
