How often do you fly and how often do you drive by car?

  > How often do you fly and how often do you drive by car I think I fly on average a bit more than once every two weeks. I'm in a car about every day, mostly for short trips--in the last month I probably spent about as much time in a car as in a plane. Pilots probably fly more hours than they drive. You really have to fuck with the statistics to get driving to come anywhere close to commercial aviation in terms of safety, they're so far apart.

    If you take the area where you drive into consideration the death numbers change, the same is valid for the drivers behaviour. You can't influnce that when you fly.

Unless you're driving on a closed track at low enough speeds that if you pass out you'll be fine, you're safer flying than driving.

        > Source? Look at accident reasons in the statistics. Velocity is a big part. Changing the variable doesn’t change the overall order of a magnitude but the personal one. If you don’t DUI your risk of dying because of DUI is lower
