I drive as little as possible since I work from home. That should cut my dying in a car accident risk by 90 percent since most people drive the most for their commute. I drive to the grocery store and bank, all within less than a 1 mile radius from me, probably half a mile. I do drive but as little as possible. I don't go on long road trips.

Of course people can die everyday from freak accidents but one can always minimize their risk. There is a chance one can fall and break their neck walking around the house but if you drive less and don't ski you can minimize your chances of dying from skiing or car accidents. Its all about minimizing all the risks that can lead to death. Eventually we all die but we can minimize the risk of death by living a low-risk life.
