I apologize if this topic has been beaten to death in the past. I am
wondering if there are any statistics on whether pilots are safer
(automobile) drivers than the general public. It has seemed to me that
my pilot training has improved my driving skills in several ways:
situational awareness, planning ahead, general safe driving practices,
etc. Anybody have any opinions (HAH!) in the group?


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

Interesting. I'm an engineer and a pilot, but not a pilot
professionally. I wonder what that means? :-)
