You’re absolutely correct.
I feel the need to point out that when any of us drives a large SUV instead of a compact car, we are also decreasing safety to everyone around us. And when we drive a 15,000-pound motorhome, a collision with others will likely do them more damage than if we were driving a car.
Basically, when we go out for a drive in anything, we reduce safety to others more than if we stayed home. So who decides, beyond legal requirements, what is acceptable?
No doubt we need to meet all legal requirements. Beyond that, it’s not as black and white as it first appears.
