That's an over-simplified analysis. With road accidents, people have reasonable expectations that certain behaviors can reduce their personal risk of being killed in an accident. For instance, that average includes people who drove drunk, run redlights, drive during ice storms, etc. By avoiding these activities an individual can reduce their personal risk dramatically below the national average.
Not to mention I can virtually eliminate any possibility of dying in a traffic accident by remaining in my backyard, where I might still be struck in the head by a delivery drone. What risky behaviours am I meant to avoid there, being outside? You should instead compare the risk somebody following reasonable safety precautions would have in each scenario.
