This is EXACTLY correct!! Driving statistics are aggregates. Some statistics may not apply, for example if you don't drive drunk, or on very dangerous roads, or very fast, or in wintery conditions. Have you read about "gun death" stats? 50% of gun deaths are murders. 50% are suicides. Don't shoot yourself, and you have permanently lowered your risk of dying from a gun by 50%! Similarly, if you were to carry a parachute on a plane, or drive an armored tank, you would permanently lower your chances of "dying from an air accident or car accident", regardless of your chances of being "in an accident". So, since I can control for a ton of risk on the road, but can't control for any risk in the air, I will continue to travel by road. Thanks for writing :)
