Cars can't stop instantly, even if you impatiently put a foot on the crossing while they're still in motion. A little bit of common sense and a few seconds of waiting is all it takes to prevent accidents. It's a shame a child was injured of course, but how much of a factor was the child's road safety behaviour? And would it really have been mollified by the existence of a pelican crossing, or would they still have run blithely out into traffic?
