The fact that it is up to parents to educate children about the dangers of traffic and so on pretty well goes without saying. I think it very much is "drilled into children at an early age." But children, being children, will sometimes do things that are irrational or unpredictable, in spite of their parents' lessons.
There will always be danger in traffic. Sane traffic speeds mitigate the potential impacts.
