Online Driving School

So I'm taking this online driving school so I don't get points for a ticket I got. Yes, I'm taking it as I'm typing this because they make you stay on each page for a certain amount of time, which happens to be slow enough for a mentally challenged 8 year old. I just ran across this portion of the course: According to the formula we’ve just discussed, to stop a vehicle at this speed, the driver would require a total stopping distance of 40 feet (20 x 2). Approximately 22 feet (20 + 2) would be used for reaction distance and the balance of 18 feet would be required for braking distance. If a child is about 25 feet away and runs out into the path of your vehicle from between two parked cars, what is going to happen? (Remember: Your approximate total stopping distance is 40 feet.) Most likely you’ll strike the child and it will be another 10 or 15 feet before you are able to completely stop your vehicle. There probably was nothing you could have done to prevent this once you saw the child. The child will probably be very seriously injured or killed. However you could have taken precautions before it happened such as, being aware of children playing in this area, noting the narrow street, etc. Just reducing the speed may have been all that was necessary to prevent this kind of situation. So now I've killed a kid and there's really nothing I could have done to have avoided it, do they just want me to feel shitty about it this close to Christmas or what? I mean seriously, the people who wrote this are demented. ugh... 7 1/2 more hours of this crap to go...
