Do you feel the same way about a criminal who drives his car at 45 MPH

wish death on drivers who break the speed limit, and people with
parking infringements?

If they kill someone then yes.


Why should someone that is speeding and has a child run out and get killed
be treated differently to a speeder who doesn't have a child run out? The
crime is the same only the outcome is different. The difference is not under
the control of the driver and is an easily foreseen circumstance. They are
equally guilty.


Consequences.
You can close your eyes and walk across a highway. Just because you
get away with it the first time doesn't mean you will again.

The difference is under the control of the driver. The slower he is
going, the better chance of survival.
If the driver were the only one at risk I wouldn't worry.
But you are too selfish to see that he puts everyone at risk.
