Remember, ANY accident with a pedestrian is likely to hurt/maim/kill that pedestrian. It doesn't take much speed at all.

If they're not in the city then I'm going to be moving fast enough for them both to hear my tires and stereo coming down the road....
If they're in the middle of the parking lot I must ask How the hell did they get there? If somebody drove them that person can tell them to move out of the way. The buses let them off at the door....
