This is a very interesting attitude. Have you at all considered your impact on others?

  His impact will be essentially zero if he's a responsible defensive driver. I've had a license for 30+ years, have driven millions of miles, and have never, not once, been at fault in an accident.

    Even so, there are still ways that it can make streets more hazardous for others. For example it's pretty hard to see around big vehicles, sadly.

      This is true. But from a moral standpoint, I have to deal with the fact that anyone has the ability to ingest alcohol and get behind the wheel of a car, and there is nothing I can do about that. So others just will have to wait a bit to see around my big truck. Thats the social contract we are making.

  Parent comment embodies the spirit of "me first" almost perfectly, even though it is disguised as some sort of self preservation hack.

  There is a whole bunch of factors that make the the risk of someone crashing into me is much higher than me crashing into them. The first one being that I spend more hours riding my ebike than driving my truck. And before the ebike, I was riding a motorcycle a lot, technically putting myself in a whole shitload of danger. So overall, I have probably contributed less risk to drivers around me over my hours commuting then they have to me.
