If I'm driving in an area where pedestrians can be present and my view of a walkway is obstructed, I slow down. A speed limit isn't an obligation nor is it a right to travel at speeds that have the potential to be unsafe. I treat every blind spot as if there's something behind it ready to jump out at a moment's notice and I adjust my speed to anticipate it. I do that because I believe operating within legally defined parameters doesn't exempt me from the responsibility of my actions causing harm to another person.

We as a society are far too lenient toward drivers who take for granted the fact that they're in control of high-velocity heavy-machinery that can and do kill people on a daily basis. Traffic deaths aren't an inevitability, in most cases they're caused by overconfidence.
