I think people delude themselves about not having poor experiences in traffic. Yes, the asshole is now in an enclosed metal box, instead of one seat away from you on the train with his boombox. But he controls that metal box, and can suddenly incur hundreds of dollars of insurance costs to you.

Where I can see the issue getting emotional and personal is women’s safety. I’m a guy so it’s not something that I can speak to, but I’m aware can affect behaviors on a primal survival level.
