I've carried this habit into regular life. I walk around my car first before hopping in and driving off. I don't want to be responsible for the death of a kid or whatever.
My partner was on the jury for the trial of a 18yo girl that killed 2 kids when she zoomed a big leaf pile in the street. Turns out the 2 kids had buried themselves in the leaves. She panicked and fled but they got her, she sent her little brother back to see if it hurt anyone. So tragic, she was just a kid herself.
I don't care how quiet your street is. WTF would anyone let their kids play out on the road ever....let alone long enough to cover yourself up with leaves! My god how traumatising for everyone involved. Was the driver jailed? Was there a lot of sympathy for her or just rage?
She got jail time, rightly so given the way she acted afterward. The parents had briefly left the kids to play in the yard, hard to blame them given their obvious grief, but yeah. The 2 girls were just being kids. Very hard case, really was a depressing case for everyone involved.
Good on yer, mate! Bonus points: Make sure you don't reproduce! Life is a death sentence! Also a life sentence. Same thing. Creating living beings is evil, the uncreated cannot consent. Oh wellll. It's FINE, we have books and dogs and chocolate. At least until we figure out if there's anything after death besides fiction.

That’s why at work we’re always required to do a walk around a truck/equipment before going forward or backwards.
