Unfortunately, this part of feeling responsible for one's actions has often disappeared. I still wouldn't mind having someone riding on the tray on a farm track or similar, where no other traffic (other than cattle, maybe) will be encountered. On public roads it is an entirely different story, though, as even the most cautious driver cannot always account for other's stupidity and incompetence.
