It's an entirely rational statement. People with moral and ethical standards don't race around running stop signs because they know
A. it's against the laws they are supposed to uphold, and
B. It's a good way to kill someone
Further, people with any kind of moral compass don't try to weasel out of the responsibility if they do negligently injure or kill someone. They step up and admit fault, make restitution if possible and serve whatever penalty they're handed under the law.
Only a take-it-up-the-ass coward would blatently disregard due care and caution, kill someone through their own negligence, then try every excuse in the book to avoid any sense of responsibility for their actions.
