It's no more dangerous than driving a motorbike. People do that all the time without worrying about the risk.

While they may not "worry" about the risk, they are certainly cognizant of it. Most wear helmets and gloves, many wear armor and leathers.

In the case of a NEV, it's a 4-wheel car with doors... Unless told otherwise, most drivers are going to assume they meet passenger car safety standards.

That's true, but consider the amount of extra protection a rider wears in order to mitigate risk of injury.

Worrying about the risk does not correlate with the actual risk. Funny how you picked the poster example of this.
