And the most dangerous are the extremes on both ends encountering each other. It's crazy to me how normalized vehicles are considering the death that they cause, the behavior people exhibit on the roads, and the sheer absolute ignorance that seems to be paid to making them safer. Maybe it's just apathy?

I agree with fuck cars but anywhere outside of Urban centers in the United States no personal vehicles would be absolutely untenable. It's almost every month I have to drive on a dirt road that I am not biking.

Then your case isn't normal. With fewer people on the road because of better infrastructure, you would have fewer dangerous encounters.
