One of the school safety officers wrote an editorial in our local paper, answering the question... “What is the safest way for parents to transport their children to school?” The school in question was on a busy road with an awkward intersection that was accident-prone.
The safety officer said the children were statistically safer in the bright-yellow school bus than in Mom’s SUV. MANY parents were outraged. They wanted to shuttle their children to and from school.

It’s probably true.
But apparently statistics only apply to “public” items.
Statistically, your chances of being in any kind of accident are slim.
Hence, there’s really not enough incentive to go through all this cost for a rare benefit.
