Clearly, you have not spent any time on I-285 in rush hour traffic in Atlanta.
I suppose you would also say that because I own and fly airplanes, one of which I built myself, and because I flew hang gliders for 30+ years without a scratch, that I am creating a far more dangerous situation? Be careful how you answer this one. Statistics and personal experience do not support your line of thinking.
Everything you do, every action you take, is a calculated risk. From the moment your feet touch the floor in the morning to the time you close your eyes at night, your day is filled with calculated risks. It doesn't matter whether it is choosing to hold a knife by the handle as opposed to the blade, driving a car, climbing a mountain or flying a plane. Calculated risks all. You may indeed feel safer in your car, but that is the folly of your argument.
