Yes, there are people who simply don't care if they harm or kill others, but I'm pretty sure that is far from normal.
It is safer to assume a motorist won't care, than would care. Because of the hostility towards cyclists and their respective right(s) to the road.
A civil society is based on the premise that people are ultimately civil and care enough about themselves and others to get along civilly.
If you really are assuming a motorist doesn't care about killing you, you'd be an idiot for riding a bike because it would be like playing long-term russian roulette. Since you do ride a bike, you must not really mean what you're saying.
