So, at what point does your logic start to become reasonable?

When we hear about accidents involving pedestrians and vehicles, most people seem to jump to the conclusion that the driver was speeding, even if that wasn't the case.
I jus wish the government would come out with some usefull facts on the subject, like "How many people are injured or killed whilst walking on the pavement" and "How many are injured or killed whilst falling into the road drunk, or simply not taking care when crossing the road"
It's so easy to blame the car driver for every accident on the road with pedestrians, but I feel the car driver is not really at fault as much as they get the blame for it.
