I think you should take a step back and think about what you're saying.
A car can kill people.
A car can create a large amount of property damage if it is driven carelessly.
Cars can even, in extreme circumstances, be fire and chemical hazards.
Are you really sure driving doesn't include a massive amount of risk to yourself and others compared to walking period?
When you cross the road you know there is a risk. Driving down the road you dont typically have a huge risk.
Especially when its legal to drive down the road and illegal to cross the road outside the crosswalks.
