It's an antisocial, even solipsistic way to do that. Offense evidently intended, even if you convince yourself it's not.

No offense to other people, but I couldn't give two shits about whether they're safely walking to the store or not. I only care about myself and my family.
Being proud of selfish behavior is something that is embarrassing to see. What a great role model you are.
he’s not wrong, why should i choose a less safe vehicle for my family to ride in? large heavy vehicles are safer for the occupants in a multi vehicle collision, and in order to protect yourself from large vehicles(including bigger trucks/semis) you should be in a large vehicle too. it’s suicidal to choose a smaller car because trucks make you mad
Road safety is a social good -- it depends on the cooperation of everyone on the road. Choosing to put down your phone or slowing down make everyone safer, including you. Choosing a bigger car makes everyone less safe except you, who get marginally more safe. It's obviously antisocial and the kind of choice that makes the world worse for everyone.
