>would that be the responsibility of the driver? Yes. What is wrong with you? It is typical, normal, common, expected, taken for granted that a driver is expected to operate their vehicle in a safe manner and unless that fucking baby is the prematurely reincarnated spirit of Usain Goddamned Bolt, if you hit a fucking child on the highway you're getting looked at. Any little teeny-tiny thing you did wrong, 1 mph over the limit, tint 0.01% too dark, didn't stop to render aid, safety inspection out of date by one second, will be used to amplify your charges and fuck you even harder. Here's an example: https://www.wtnh.com/news/connecticut/hartford/man-charged-with-manslaughter-in-hit-and-run-death-of-hartford-toddler/ https://www.wtnh.com/news/connecticut/hartford/man-charged-w...

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.

You are intentionally misinterpreting the example. If someone is driving at 100km/h (as people often do on highways) and has almost no time to react, it is obviously not the driver's fault if they hit someone.
