We see a lot of blaming drivers for being the more dangerous entity on the road but I don't think that's strictly fair just because they've kind of not made the decision we have.

But, aren't they the more dangerous entity on the road? Regardless of the decision they have or have not made, they're still at the controls of a 1+tonne of metal with the potential to seriously injury/kill.

Absolutely, and I'm not disputing that at all.

But when we start blaming them for that, it introduces an element of victimisation into the us and them relationship that we have. I don't think the blame is wholly justified in the manner that it is most frequently presented and the ensuing victimisation is toxic to our relationship. As the vulnerable party in this relationship, we don't benefit from this toxicity, quite the opposite.
