Problem is that if you do that, you make the road less safe for everyone else

Only if you're then also willing to go up a size in vehicle. You can still choose more or less safe vehicles from within the same class. A 2022 Corolla is way safer than a 1998 Corolla, that 1998 Corolla is safer than a 1966 Corolla, etc.
