Travel risk statistics

awblain
Even so, Ettore… if the average person takes ten car journeys a day and ten per year by air… or even doing it in passenger-km covered, air is still doing well, since there's a factor of 2500 in terms of raw casualties.
It's a personal choice, assessing risk, But I'm with Ettore…per journey.

Mind you - essential travel, and voluntary travel, might logically be assessed differently.
"Shall I go at all ?" is different from "I must, but how ?".

Getting slightly quieter, is it?
