In my experience flying is vastly safer than driving. Sorry.

By the way, statistics are absolutely meaningless when applied to
individuals.


Two things: (1) Statistics can still be useful even though individual
variation makes them less than perfect predictors of risk. Plus, people
might as well assume they're no better than an average pilot, because half
the people will be right. (2) You may be a really ****ty driver. :-)
