It is not right for you to choose to operate a deadly vehicle and then offload the dangers of that choice onto innocent bystanders. No pedestrian has forced you to drive a dangerous car around. Therefore, yes, it is the responsibility of the operator of the vehicle to protect others from the dangers of their choice. > You can really rely on everyone driving a motor vehicle to obey practically every traffic law every time. This is satire, right? This is so hilariously wrong it's not worth elaborating on. You yourself even directly contradict this in your last paragraph. > And they know that driving is a privilege and that violations can cost them their license, which will cost them their job, their freedom and a lot of things. Driving is generally treated more as a right, especially in the US, where I infer you live. Look up the punishments for killing someone with a car vs not. DUI? No problem, just keep on trucking. > On the other hand we’ve got cyclists, pedestrians, scooters, wheelchairs: all sorts of other conveyances on the road, and they basically ignore every traffic law imaginable. Traffic laws only exist because of cars. Mostly due to the danger they cause to everyone. Ever seen pedestrian only areas with roads, lanes, traffic lights? You haven't because only cars need those. > Personally, I’m the slowest and smallest thing on the road, and I eagerly defer to everything else that’s bigger and faster than me. So you break the law on the regular yourself then, sigh. If you have the right of way in the situation, do not preemptively yield. By not acting the way you're expected to, all you do is cause confusion and frustration for everyone else. A basic rule of traffic is to keep things moving and the best way to do that is to follow what's expected of you.
