To put things in perspective, at least 116 Americans will die in Automobile accidents before the end of the weekend.
I suspect that you have not given up driving on the highway.
To put it into proper perspective, we would need to know how many of those traffic fatalities were caused by the victims’ own stupid choices and subtract that number.
When you’re driving, you have a certain amount of choice which you don’t have as a passenger on a plane. You can’t always avoid every accident, but if you’re the kind of person who cares about such things you stand a better chance than the person who throws their hands in the air and declares that bad things can never be avoided.
The greatest risk factor in an automobile is the driver. By being a good driver, you can reduce your risk. As a passenger in an airplane, the only choice you have is whether or not to get on the plane in the first place. Once you do, your risk is as high as everyone else on the plane. Even a passenger in an automobile has more choices than that, and can actively reduce risks, or voluntarily exit the vehicle if risk factors gradually increase.
Some accidents can’t be avoided, but if you’re going to compare the risk of flying with risk of driving carefully, you need to discount those risk factors that can be avoided.
You do what ever the heck it is that you do and I will do what I want to do. What does your smart mouthed post suppose to mean?
