Better drivers?

I think this is faulty reasoning. Unless you hide behind "relatively
speaking", it may be simply that flying is more dangerous than driving.

Do you really believe that flying is more dangerous than driving?
When was the last time you drove in any major city?
And how many times did you have to modify your speed, direction
or stopping distance because of another drivers mistake?

I find that I'm much safer in a plane than in a car.

The statistics show the 50,000 drivers die per year.
I believe the number for airplane accidents is around 900 per year
worldwide.
And if I'm not mistaken, the 50k is in the U.S. alone.

Can anyone back up the stats, I know I have seen them printed somewhere
before.
