These days, I don't think it's realistic to tell people not to drive. There will always be some risk involved, but you can give folks the tools and the information they need to help protect what's important to them most of the time. Sometimes that might even include advice on helmets and five-point seat belts, but even without them we should be careful not to mislead people into thinking that a well maintained Volvo XC90 on their desk would be no safer than the 1970s Ford Pinto in their pocket. Some things are just broken by design and shouldn't be trusted with anything you really care about, while other things can be reasonably safe if you're careful and pay attention.
