Sounds fair.

But you are now taking this to extremes.
Nobody said that pedestrians can just launch themselves in front of a car as you have suggested (and in fact the law expressly says that this is illegal where I am from).
But motorists MUST drive to the conditions and MUST Give Way to pedestrians where pedestrians are attempting to cross the road.
