Agree with the later part, but with the former, I'm sure in a large percentage of auto fatalities the victim was not at fault.
But despite the statistics, I feel safer being in control. It's a funny cognitive bias.
I also like the recovery plan for a dangerous driving situation better (swerve or pull over and slow down) because the danger is usually mitigated in seconds. In aviation a dangerous situation can persist for minutes depending on how far away the emergency landing spot is and how high the plane is.
- greedo 8y agoDrunk driving accounts for roughly 25% of the driving fatalities. Not sure how many of that cohort are victims as opposed to the drunks.
- dsfyu404ed 8y agoAre we counting drunk pedestrians getting hit by cars as car crash fatalities? Being drunk near heavy equipment drastically increases the chances of said heavy equipment killing you but less so if you've got a bunch of safety systems to save your life when you crash said heavy equipment.
