But other drivers can drink, and you can't do anything about that. Are you a good enough driver to save yourself in this situation? https://litter.catbox.moe/

  I generally don't fear other people driving drunk (except on holiday evenings when I refuse to be on the road.) My personal risk of dying in an alcohol-related crash is massively reduced by my decision to never drink and drive, or get into a car with a driver who's been drinking. The risk is never zero, but it's low enough that I generally don't worry about it. Do I have absolute complete control over it? No. Do I have a whole lot of control over it? You betcha. The control is not an illusion.

  >Are you a good enough driver to save yourself in this situation? Are you a good enough pedestrian to dodge a drunk that jumps the curb? That's a rhetorical question. My point here is that the standard you're trying to apply is an asinine one. Unless you live beside the train station you have some exposure to drunk drivers.

But surely you realize that's not a very common scenario crash. Watch the endless youtube dashcam videos of crashes, the vast majority are simple scenarios where the driver could've done something smarter than what they did.

    According to the statistics, it's far more common in the US, far more common than it could be compared to other developed countries.
