If you drive (or mow) recklessly, you are at a heightened risk of death, but it is still a pretty random occurrence. If not, you have a much lower risk, and it is still pretty random should it actually occur.
If you are involved in gang or other criminal behavior, you are a heightened risk of death, but it is still a pretty random occurrence. If not, you have a much lower risk, and it is still pretty random should it actually occur.
I think it is pretty fair to lump them in together.
- deepdriver 4y agoIf you drive or mow recklessly, you suffer the results of your own choices. If you get mugged or shot on a city street, you've suffered the result of someone else's choices. Many experience more angst over the choices outside their control. I can't say I blame them.

- thunky 4y agoProbably because these people have a false sense of control when they drive.
- s1artibartfast 4y agoI would guess you can decrease your driving risk if you want by 90% by driving sober, not speeding, not tailgating, and not playing on your phone. Not complete control, but pretty good.
