    Auto death

    Driving is the most dangerous thing the average american will engage in during there lifetime, The leading cause of death in teenagers..is auto related.

    So my question to you, Is the automobile the greatest invention to man kind along with being the most dangerous?


    each year in the US 1 out of 6800 drivers dies in an auto accident. The rate for airline passengers is 1 in 1.6 million.

    Annual automobile deaths are about 30-40,000 per year(U.S alone), depending on the year. One of the things about driving is the misperception of people that they are totally under control of their own destiny. To a certain extent, there is control, you can avoid driving drunk, you can increase yourfollowing distance, you can reduce your speed.

    However, let's say that
    roughly half of traffic accidents are caused by drunk drivers, and half
    those deaths are not in the car of the drunk driver. That would mean
    7-10,000 people died in accidents in which they were not the drunk driver
    and pretty much had no control of whether the accident happened or not.

    A really bad airline accident will have 300 deaths (one of the larger jets,
    packed full). To get anywhere in the same neighborhood of fatalities, you
    need about 21 accidents of that size every year, or about two per
    month. For the more common sized jets, the number of passengers is more
    like 200, so you'll need about 35 of those, or three per month."

    Auto death

    So fucked you'd bring that up tonight...I made some kid drop me off at home after he was doing like 80-90 miles an hour. Dude, it's dark, country road, blowing stop signs, deer running, no seat belts. I hate being in a speeding car I am not controlling. Scares me shitless.

    Auto death

    I'd say cars are one of the worst inventions ever, especially when combined with another of the worst, the cell phone. We should still be riding horses, living closer to work and put things like convenience stores and bank branches at the leasing office of every apartment complex. We'd save frustration, money, time, the environment, lives and lots of other things if we never had cars. What we should do is redesign the concept and make smaller vehicles that consume less gas, aren't so dangerous riding down the road at 80 MPH, and cause less collateral damage in an accident. Motorcycles are awesome. Best purchase I ever made. But not everybody can ride one. But if we're going to let people drive 3,000 pound chunks of metal down the road, an IQ test should be part of DMV testing.
