    That would mean every driver on the highway is driving recklessly.

    “yes! Now you see how carbrained society is”

    counterpoint: society is to blame, not individual drivers.

      Nah, highways tend have lots of visibility around them, you can see a person a long ways off. Though, if you do see a kid on the side (and don’t intend to stop), you should absolutely be slowing down and giving them a wide berth!
