I think the fair comparison would be humans that drive legally.

Humans don't drive legally. I don't believe for a second there is a human on this planet who has never violated a rule of the road. The easy default is that we all speed.

Who hasn't done a rolling stop at a stop sign? Taken a turn they legally shouldn't have? (No U turns? lol) Taken a right on red when it says not to but there's literally nobody around?

Cell phones are mostly illegal everywhere while driving and if you look around almost everyone is staring at them.

This mythical person who never, ever does anything against the rules is impossible.
