It's a balancing act, surely, between what's selfish,and what's overdoing it.
My duty and right is to protect myself and my family. Most cars on the road are safe enough to have a chance up against a larger more sturdily built vehicle. That thing looks like a mobile coffin. Its not my concern that some quirky person dares to be different at the expense of his/her safety.
