But flying is safer than driving, I am not scared.

So tell me why flying is safer than driving. I am open to all sides of the argument.

I am even open to the argument "flying is safer than driving". Yep, it sure is, there are less plane accidents than road accidents that's for sure.

I said I am open to it, I don't agree to it. Now, lets be fair and listen to my argument. "shit no.... flying is no way safer than driving".

Lets take Canada for example:

In 1998, Canada had:

13,855,000 - Vehicles registered

3,780,000 - Commercial vehicles registered

333,000 - Motorbikes registered

That is a total of 17,968,000 million vehicles registered.

They also had 150,919 - Automobile collisions causing injury

So lets do the math for you.

17,968,000 vehicles / 150,919 collision causing injuries = 1 in 119 chance of crashing if you are in a road accident.

So Canada has 17,968,000 vehicles. I will leave it up to you to ponder how many aircraft canada has, and how often you think these crash. Take a think about it, when was the last time you heard on the news that a plane went down?

Now let me ask you the question, IS FLYING SAFE THAN DRIVING!??
