I walk and drive in a big city (NYC), I don't get this mentality of being frustrated over self-preservation, yet you're not the first person to share a sentiment like this.
No one exists in a modern city without indirectly taking advantage of cars and trucks. So people should be more enthusiastic about being part of the solution when it comes to pedestrian safety.

I see people get annoyed when I imply they should proactive about their safety as a pedestrian, but at the end of the day we're all shopping at stores stocked by trucks with horrible visibility and maneuverability mostly driving at night...
The same way everyone benefits from the existence of automobiles, everyone should be part of the solution when it comes to their safety while near them.
- _dain_ 5y agoThe best way to be "proactive about safety" as a pedestrian is to pressure your local government into improving the physical layout of roads so that they are safe by design, so that people do not need to do preposterous and undignified things like wear reflective clothing or helmets.
