your vehicle would never move, for fear of having an accident. What if ... pops out from between a parked car, what if ... runs onto the road.
The conclusion is you ride/drive assuming that someone may step into the road. Yes people would move in cars and on bikes but slower and with more consideration. Would make places where people need to interact in different modes more civilised

Our new guest is being intellectually dishonest...unless we live under strict liability laws? There is no way drivers go slow enough to avoid hitting peds in built up areas otherwise why do we have a child being hit everyday on their way to or from school in the UK? Why are there so many accident involving cars hitting people and mounting kerbs? We just need to be real and admit different vehicles are being held to differential standards, expectations and punishments.

Question - Do you ever drive a car or cycle in a city?
If you do, the theoretical conclusion to your argument is that your vehicle would never move, for fear of having an accident. What if ... pops out from between a parked car, what if ... runs onto the road.
