This is why the speed limit is 25 MPH. Dude survived.

Edit: risk of serious injury reduced

The speed limit isn’t 25 because people randomly run into the street

It’s exactly why it’s 25. If we didn’t have to worry about people randomly running into the street, we wouldn’t have to worry about reducing the severity of collisions.

But if the car was going faster it would have passed by before the dude ran into the side of him, if the car was slower then he would have been hit head on.

The car was going much slower than 25mph. The driver was not at fault, at all. There was nothing they could have done because the pedestrian essentially jumped at the car last second.
