I think about this a lot while I’m cycling through traffic and see or have a few near misses. I’m trying to be careful and sometimes I have near misses with pedestrians or other cyclists, and I’m glad not to drive a car, because this shit would terrify me. I don’t understand how people can drive a car and not constantly be worried about killing or hurting someone. I don’t understand how lots of motorists can be so cavalier while driving a multi ton motorized vehicle.
I drive a car and I am constantly worried that I will hurt a pedestrian, cyclist, or animal with it. My car is an older EV that doesn’t make a noise outside the car when it is running, and it especially seems to startle deer and cyclists. Only thing I can do is give them more room.
