Actually Chris, the answer to your conundrum:

" The problem with this solution I see is HOW exactly to achieve it? As long as there are cars on the road accidents are GOING to occur! ...
... If we could instead get the severity of the accidents down to say scuffs and dents to the cars (a little optimistic I admit) then how the accidents occur, or how frequently they occur would not matter quite so much! ..."

is in something you said earlier:

"... Yes ideally she (the pedestrian) should not have been standing where she was at the time, however there is NOT a law (unless I am very much mistaken) to say that she (or anyone else come to that) was NOT allowed to cross the road. Therefore drivers have to take into account in order to PASS their DRIVING TEST! Let alone being qualified to drive 'quickly but safely'... "

You get my point? I'm sure you do! Eliminate the pedestrian from the path of the driver and all you're left with is: "scuffs and dents to the cars"! OK, I'm exaggerating it a bit but you get my gist! Metal and flesh don't mix so eliminate the flesh, educate and make it safe for it to cross and you're left to deal with the metal!

And just because we don't have LAWS to stop the pedestrian wandering into the road whenever and wherever he/she wants is the reason the driver HAS to learn and obey HAZARD AWARENESS! The penalty for not doing so is 100% at fault in a collision with a pedestrian, regardless!
