The reason that pedestrians and bicyclists have "preference" in the laws is that they will be much more likely to die if they have a "collision" with a vehicle. If it is too hard to drive a big heavy vehicle, then we need to drive smaller lighter vehicles, maybe? And/or we need to drive slower?
Seat belts save lives, and so do airbags inside the vehicle - a lot of lives. How does wearing a seat belt cause an accident?
