Sure that's what they want you to believe to make you buy more tickets -- but the fact is that those stats factor in all the people with poor eyesight -- senior citizens -- teenage drivers, drunk drivers, crack heads, people speeding, police chases, miata drivers, and on and on... If you have good reflexes, good defensive driving skills, a solid car, and you're not driving like a maniac, AND you're wearing your seatbelt, have anti-lock brakes on all 4 wheels, AND front and side airbags -- LOL your chances of death are pretty slim and I'd much prefer to die at my own hands at the wheel of my own car.
