Like I mentioned in another comment, people are refusing to accept increasing worse outcomes (at least in pedestrian safety).

Additionally, I’d wager most reasonable people are willing to accept the unavoidable risks of driving. However, many car collisions involve people taking risks that are not necessary to transport themselves from A to B (speeding, drinking, texting, failing to indicate turn). Breaking traffic laws aren’t crimes of necessity, or borne of poverty, it just people refusing to think about how their shitty actions effect others.

Society is completely complacent to bad driving behavior. The whole zero risk thing is a straw intended to shit down the conversation
