but, won't car drivers being more aware help? if that's a big factor, wouldn't it be good to address?

if i'm reading this right, you don't think car drivers should have to worry if they're going to kill someone, because you think that person deserves it due to the risk they personally took on?

you think it's too much to expect someone driving a safer vehicle to drive safely and not kill other people? you resent being told to pay basic attention while driving a car because if you hit someone that isn't also in a car, they might die and that pisses you off?

wtf?
