I went to a psychologist in my very early 20's for some minor therapy.

I mentioned I liked sports cars and he asked a hypothetical question to aid in the therapy. Why don't you drive your Opel GT really, really fast on a deserted secondary road where you can see there are no cops a couple miles in front of you? I struggled with an answer.

Finally he says "Because you are responsible"

At 20 I was intermittently responsible but what he said rings true. Either you give a shiet about others and the potential harm/inconvenience you can cost them - or you don't. Responsible people process the potential downside of their actions to others and take steps to mitigate it's occorence.
