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?


Of course current pilots are going to have less accidents. They have been
screened by a FAA approved AME for any number of medical issues that could
affect their ability to drive or could result in a sudden incapacation. How
could they possibly NOT be safer? Right? If they weren't, what would be the
point behind all the various classes of medicals and stuff?
