What do the same statistics say about GA and automobiles?



This keeps popping up but in the end, any transportation system is only as
safe as it's operators make it. You can make aviation very safe or very
dangerous and the same goes for driving and cycling. However, on the roads
your safety is more dependant on others than in aviation.

A few days ago I was rear ended while driving my Accord at 35 on a local
main road. The lady who hit me was driving a large SUV at around 55 and
said she wasn't looking when she hit me. They are going over my car now but
it may very well be totalled (I was extremely lucky and was not injured).
In my experience driving seems obvoiusly more dangerous than aviation
especially when you figure in the experience and competence of the other
operators.
