You'd be surprised at the number of discussions I've had where people value being legally correct over the safety of others.

- toast0 10y agoWho cares about other people's safety? I value my own safety and time over being legally correct on the road. If I need to break traffic laws to avoid hitting another vehicle, or being struck, that's easy. Being in a collision is a huge time-suck, even if I'm in the right. (That said, I'm not going to intentionally cause other vehicles to collide among themselves because it enhances my safety or reduces my time spent)
- GrinningFool 10y agoI was originally going to write "safety of themselves and others", but that implied a level of nuance I didn't want to get into explaining. > If I need to break traffic laws to avoid hitting another vehicle, or being struck, that's easy. IMO based on anecdotes and observation, not enough people do that because of the "it's not my fault" attitude. The first consideration is fault, the second is safety.
