Yeah, I agree that this is a topic that really deserves some high-quality attention.

For example, I sometimes have to drive at night on rural 2-lane highways. I'm always fully sober but the drivers around me are not always that way. I've wondered if I'd improve my safety to any measurable degree by not driving these roads as much at night, or if it's unlikely to make any difference in my chance of getting into a bad accident.

People in this country spend WAY too much time reading about (and worrying about) risks that are laughably miniscule. Yet there's very little information on the big risks that actually do kill a lot of people.

Agreed. You must be alert and defensive, but the stress of worrying about it can kill you too.

Stay safe.
