When you're approaching an intersection controlled by a traffic light, do you feel the same anxiety? There are cars occupying the same bit of road that you're going to be occupying in a few moments, and if you don't stop at the light, there will be a crash. I'm guessing you don't give it a second thought (you may double check that traffic has stopped before proceeding, and pilots do the same thing when they're landing).
