What about personal responsibility?
The answer to "society hasn't provided me with a convenient way to get around without a significant risk of killing someone" is not "oh wells! bad luck pedestrians!"
Where it comes to a situation where they might kill someone, I do expect people to behave responsibly.
- ArtB 14y agoSo but it is more like "I can't get a job, or live where I can afford because I'm too easily distracted to be a good driver and I might kill someone, but it's that too likely since there are lots of shitty drivers and not that many people die and I don't really have alternatives." I bus to work, but I wouldn't work minimum wage if all the good jobs required commuting; I'd just be another shitty driver. It's not selfish either, it's selfish of you to expect me to give up anything resembling a normal life to make you a little safer.
