what youre missing here is agency. I have complete control over how safely I drive my car. Sure there are crazy people driving but its best to be in another car than being a person walking when you have a crazy crash. In public transport I have no control over what other people can do to me or my loved ones, I can only react and the law is probably not in my side

You don't really have agency. You don't have agency over that person blasting down the road coming the other direction running the red light. You don't have agency over that drunk nodding off and crossing the yellow line. You don't have agency over someone not looking and merging into you causing you to go off the road and roll over. You don't have agency over that person looking at their phone and not realizing they're approaching you stopped at that red light ahead while they're going 20 over the speed limit.

You think everyone injured in a car accident caused the accident?

And you think people walking have more agency over a car coming and crushing them? That's why I said it's best to be a in a car in a car crash because that way you're protected. I'm not even against public transport is just simply not more safe than private transport
