Default Better drivers?

This article presents results from a study that indicates that pilots
are less likely to have an accident than most other occupations.

Interesting data point, but it's addressing a different question. It's
looking at the accident rate per elapsed time (per year), rather than per
time spent driving. So it could be that the ones with lower accident rates
simply do less driving, rather than that they're safer when they drive.
