will look for the study but kids are often better at it than adults (who get worse at it the older they get) when they concerntrate
kids who are not able to judge speed ( under 7 trying to find the study on it might have been in one of my magazines ) shouldnt be out on thier own crossing roads in anycase

hmm guess you don't live near the schools i do the kids often cross a motorway speed road instead of using the bridge none knocked over so far as they seem to be able to judge either when there is a big enough gap or when the driver has spotted them and will slow ( note i dont condone what they do as they are risking thier lives )
so i would say the kids can easily demonstrate that they are capable of judging these speeds when they are concertrating
