The drivers who applied the brakes to avoid the pedestrian were a little less than 90% among the experienced drivers, but only half of the beginners.When even both the steering and braking were used to move to the other side to avoid the pedestrian, half of the experienced drivers had accidents, and about 65% of all of them had accidents.
