Then your reply "Most of those opportunities involve getting hit by a car." is somewhat weird. This wasn't the case even in my own backwards country of Moldova in the 90s, after the fall of Soviet Union, much less today, when people are noticeably more civilized.
1. The people actually obey rules (e.g. they actually let people pass at pedestrian crossings, something unheard of all the way into the 2000s). In general road accidents are decreasing.
2. Still doesn't support your "Most of those opportunities involve getting hit by a car."
