In my country we don't just let people drive however they like on public roads. You have to be above a certain age, have passed a test, not be drunk or stoned, be driving a roadworthy vehicle, and follow many other rules. Your risk to other people's lives is carefully managed.

And yet it is the leading cause of premature death among accidents and thousands of times less safe than alternatives such as trains or airplanes and... surprise, surprise - staying at home!

And still, drunk driving kills more than 10k every year in the US only: https://www.nhtsa.gov/risky-driving/drunk-driving

I should definitely quarantine me and my family after before 6 AM and after 6 PM.

It would kill a lot more people if the roads were a consequence-free free-for-all with no speed limits, highway enforcement, safety or licensing requirements.
