Which is exactly WHY they made it a 30 point penalty. They want you to stay far away from the human player and so a big penalty. The refs will likely have penalty flags like they had last year, and they will be added in at the end of the match.

Being in a hurry doesn't justify an accident. Many people get speeding tickets, their "excuse" was that they were in a hurry. I've been at the scene of at least one 'I was in a hurry' where a pedestrian in a crosswalk wasn't going to be walking again anytime soon. Attitudes in one part of life tend to carry over to others.
