It matters not that probability of a person stepping into the road without looking is X; all that matters is whether that person there is about to, which is not statistical in nature.

If you don't know anything about 'that person there' then the probability of 'a person' doing it (ideally in a situation like the current one) is what you have to go on. That the probablity is known to be more than zero might be relevant in court.
