BS.
You glance down at your speedo when you go through a camera. That's probably half a second, which is half a second further down the road addition to your thinking distance should a child run out.

I do not agree that both things can happen simultaneously. Your eyes can not differentiate between a moving target and other moving targets in your peripheral vision like that.
