I have driven for over 30 years and professionally as a delivery driver and you cannot judge the speed of a oncoming vehicle at night if you can only see its headlights you only realise how fast they are going when they pass you.

Well no one in their right mind would attempt to cross a busy motorway so I fail to see the reasoning, are you saying no one should ever cross a road for fear of being hit by a car.
Plus she was not crossing a motorway but a normal suburban road that people cross every day expecting normal suburban non motorway speeds.
The really interesting part has yet to come which is his defence for his actions on that night.
