For a variety of reasons, including the fact that your taxes might be supporting my driving more than your own, or I might be polluting the air you breathe and so on. It's completely valid to care about other people's behaviour if it it affects you. However, in this instance, I was surprised you thought I was criticising you for driving once in 9 months, or implying you weren't "a decent and rational person" or holding myself up as a better example, when it's already a matter of public record that I drive more than you. So in this case, my point in mentioning it was to try to clear the air (ironic metaphor, when it comes to driving).
