I could same thing about seatbelt law, I'm only going to hurt myself 90% of the time. But that other 10% of time I might lose more control without it. If you were on the road without a light and someone did not see you and hit you and swerved they could hit another car.. or saw you at last second and swerved hit another person/car.. so in reality if you were on the road you are endangering others. I agree for what you were doing there was no danger to anyone else.
