So because he didn't hit a child that means the OP didn't do anything wrong? What if his actions were the same but a child walked off the bus and the OP collided with them? would he still not have done anything drastically wrong? (guessing also of course that above actions are probably contrary to the HTA in the OPs jurisdiction) His actions were the same.

The argument that he didn't do anything wrong because the OP didn't collide with anyone is invalid.
