FWIW, worldwide about 1-1.25 million people a year are killed in car accidents. And yet people are all, Meh, not worried.
About 5-10 are killed by sharks per year worldwide. And people are terrified.
I'm down with any publicity that helps redistribute our anxieties in more productive directions....
I get that. I just think the idea of being eaten alive is just so much worse than the idea of dying in a crash. Its a primal kinda thing.
Cars are much more dangerous tho.

Speed is less of a problem to lack of attention. You can drive a f250 at 40 while I'm driving a Camry at 70 and I'll stop before you.

Car safety and whatnot have done a great job in the US
Used to be 50k a year now 34k with 50% more people
Like someone else said I bet distractions plus voluntary impairment kill most of them.

Speeding doesn’t kill people...a wreck which is the result of failure to maintain control of your vehicle does.

I will say this. My wife and I drove about 200 miles on the South Island one day and everyone we talked to in our destination town thought we were absolutely crazy

The Interstate is the safest type of road - and has the highest speed....
You mean to tell us a wide straight road that is trafficked less than a busy city street with curves and sharp turns is safer to drive 70mph on? No shite?
