And horse riding on the road - it’s still legal. I believe you can even ride cows in most countries
Safety of the driver, mind you, should be lower priority than safety of others, I.e. pedestrians.
Driver chose to drive whatever that is, but pedestrians didn’t. From that perspective motorcycles are great, they are least likely vehicle to main a pedestrian or child.
