You decrease the risk to you but you dramatically increase the risk to other people, especially pedestrians. The total deaths go up.

- petcat 4mo ago> You decrease the risk to you Yes, that's the point. No offense to other people, but I'm trying to not die when I drive to the store. Driving a tank with a sun roof is a good way to do that.
- BrenBarn 4mo agoDo you also run around firing bullets at random people just in case they might decide to attack you at some undetermined point in the future?

- petcat 4mo agoNo I just safely drive my SUV to the store and then back home.
- topaz0 4mo agoIt's an antisocial, even solipsistic way to do that. Offense evidently intended, even if you convince yourself it's not.
- petcat 4mo agoNo offense to other people, but I couldn't give two shits about whether they're safely walking to the store or not. I only care about myself and my family.
- matchbok3 4mo agoBeing proud of selfish behavior is something that is embarrassing to see. What a great role model you are.
- b0rtb0rt 4mo agohe’s not wrong, why should i choose a less safe vehicle for my family to ride in? large heavy vehicles are safer for the occupants in a multi vehicle collision, and in order to protect yourself from large vehicles(including bigger trucks/semis) you should be in a large vehicle too. it’s suicidal to choose a smaller car because trucks make you mad
- topaz0 4mo agoRoad safety is a social good -- it depends on the cooperation of everyone on the road. Choosing to put down your phone or slowing down make everyone safer, including you. Choosing a bigger car makes everyone less safe except you, who get marginally more safe. It's obviously antisocial and the kind of choice that makes the world worse for everyone.
